Oppenheimer’s double-martini and cigarette diet tested Cillian Murphy
Maybe it was Cillian Murphy’s way of truly inhabiting the character of J. Robert Oppenheimer that he found himself developing the scientist’s lack of appetite for food, with the actor losing enough weight to embody Oppenheimer’s famously slender frame, which, at times, was viewed as unhealthy.
Questions about Murphy’s weight loss for the role began circulating after Emily Blunt, who plays Oppenheimer’s wife, Kitty, made a passing comment during an ExtraTV interview about how “emaciated” the actor became for the role. She said the already slender Murphy tried to stay focused on the “monumental undertaking” of playing the brilliant and conflicted theoretical physicist and “could only eat, like, an almond every day.
Murphy acknowledged to The Guardian that he was determined to embody Oppenheimer’s silhouette and tested himself to see how little he could eat. “You become competitive with yourself a little bit which is not healthy. I don’t advise it,” he said. But in preparing for the role and turning up on set each day to play the man, Murphy said he began to forget about eating food, in the same way he forgot about sleep.
As far back as his childhood, Oppenheimer was known for looking as though he “wasn’t getting enough to eat or drink,” according to a classmate of from the progressive Ethical Cultural School that he attended while growing up on New York’s Upper West Side, the book reported. That appearance was associated with his early social awkwardness — which he would definitely outgrow as an adult.
