Cillian Murphy is one of Ireland's best and most celebrated actors, but does his best to keep his personal life out of the spotlight.
Cork star Cillian is notoriously private, and little his known about his marriage with 46-year-old Kilkenny-born visual artist Yvonne McGuinness.
The pair tied the knot in 2004 and have two sons, Malachy, born in 2005, and Aran, born in 2007.
The actor has previously told of how he shuns the limelight and prefers home life to the glitz of Hollywood.
The 43-year-old also insisted actors are “overpaid” and it mortifies him when they complain about their busy schedules.
Speaking to Red Magazine, Cillian said: “For me, it’s about being at home and living a life.
“Taking the dog for a walk, doing the shopping, emptying the dishwasher, going for a run.’’
Cillian has also previously revealed that playing Tommy Shelby in hit series Peaky Blinders is "exhausting" and affects his relationship with his family.
Murphy says that he often struggles to pop in and out of character while playing the coveted role - which he claims can sometimes spark frustration with Yvonne.
He said: "You have to cancel reality for a little while.
"Part of acting in film and television is that you have to go from sitting around in a trailer twiddling your thumbs, doing the crossword or whatever, to bang! Being in it.
"So if you’re coming from a standstill, it doesn’t work."
