The 47-year-old has previously expressed near embarrassment over the fact he can command millions of pounds for roles after building one of the most successful film and TV careers in Hollywood.

And while the star has Hollywood at his feet, he is known to be incredibly humble - despite having a reported £15 million fortune. Cillian has discussed how he has struggled with his fortune, telling the Guardian: "I'm really lucky. I feel embarrassed by it sometimes. I'm just a [expletive] actor. "There are doctors and nurses and [expletive] people that work. I struggle with that. I mean, actors are overpaid, you know?

Cillian keeps his personal life out of the limelight - and even shuns technology, explaining he has no phone or internet connection. Oppenheimer producer Emma Thomas, who is director Christopher Nolan's wife, explained 'He's the most analogue individual you could possibly encounter' - revealing she called him a){kind=link}
