Cillian Murphy continued, "And they aren't extraneous. They are flawless.”
Talking about Pugh further, Murphy added, “Florence is also simply stunning. I think she's f—ing phenomenal.” The actor continued, “She has this presence as a person and on screen that is staggering. The impact she has [in ‘Oppenheimer’] for the size of the role, it’s quite devastating.”

For the movie, which follows the life of the Manhattan Project physicist over multiple decades from the 1920s to the 1960s, Cillian Murphy discussed how he lost weight to fit into the character of Oppenheimer.
Speaking with New York Times, the Peaky Blinders actor said, "I love acting with my body, and Oppenheimer had a very distinct physicality and silhouette, which I wanted to get right." He further added, "I had to lose a significant amount of weight while we worked on the clothing and tailoring since he was extremely lean, almost emaciated, and lived off of smokes and martinis."
Murphy emphasized that his weight-loss techniques weren't safe and that he wouldn't advise anyone else to use them.
Meanwhile, Oppenheimer also features Josh Hartnett, and Rami Malek, among others. Based on the life of Robert J. Oppenheimer, the movie is currently breaking records at the box office in India as well as abroad.
