    Well, Cillian finally reacted to that (very well-deserved) title.

    Speaking with Entertainment Tonight this week at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, he said he actually wasn't aware of it. "I don't know about too many things internet-wise," Cillian confessed.

    Nonetheless, he appreciates the love. He said of the title, "Oh, it's lovely. It's very flattering. Very flattered."
