Sorry, But If Your Friends Aren't Praising You The Way Cillian Murphy Did With Florence Pugh, Then It's Time To Ditch Them

"Florence is just amazing.”

Oppenheimer is officially in theaters! And I don't know about you, but the press tour made me fall in love with a movie I haven't even seen yet!

A major reason for that was due to the sweet interactions I've seen with the cast. From Florence Pugh saving Emily Blunt during a wardrobe malfunction...

And that includes this recent interview Cillian did with the Sydney Morning Herald, where he praised Florence as a person and an actor.

Cillian reflected on the "powerful" sex scenes the two shared in the film and how he's been one of Florence's biggest fans for years.

"Those scenes were written deliberately,” Cillian said. “[Christopher Nolan] knew that those scenes would get the movie the rating that it got."

"And I think when you see it, it’s so fucking powerful. And they’re not gratuitous. They’re perfect. And Florence is just amazing.”

But the gushing didn't stop there!

"I have loved Florence’s work since Lady Macbeth, and I think she’s fucking phenomenal.”

“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.”

Hearing about costars forming close bonds while working on their projects always makes things feel a little more special.

To see Cillian, Florence, and the rest of the cast, be sure to check out Oppenheimer, which is currently playing in theaters.
