Cillian Murphy Responds To Online Speculation About Voldemort Role

Cillian Murphy has stepped in to stop the rumors himself. According to a recent interview with The Times, the actor says he is not playing Lord Voldemort in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter TV series.

The talk around Murphy started picking up online earlier this year, with fans pushing the idea that he could take on the famous villain. But Murphy says there is nothing to it. Speaking to The Times, he shut it down quickly and clearly.

I’m categorically not, he said, adding with a laugh that he hoped that sentence would become the headline. Murphy also used the moment to explain how strange he finds fame in general.
