Tom Blyth<\/span><\/strong> went viral for mistaking Cillian Murphy<\/span><\/strong>\u2018s nationality. The former took Murphy\u2019s name in an interview at the Burberry Spring\/Summer 2026 show when asked which British star he wanted to see in a Burberry campaign. Blyth\u2019s response shocked fans and Irish celebrities, and he subsequently found himself in hot water. The actor has since issued an apology to Murphy and the Irish people for the mistake.<\/p>\n Tom Blyth graced the Burberry Spring\/Summer 2026 Show last month as part of London Fashion Week. In an interview, the Billy the Kid actor was asked which \u201cBritish icon\u201d he wanted to see in a Burberry campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cBritish icon I\u2019d like to see in a Burberry campaign? Ooh, I mean Cillian Murphy. Let\u2019s say Cillian, yeah,\u201d Blyth replied.<\/p>\n Blyth\u2019s answer prompted a variety of surprised\/offended responses from fans and Irish celebrities. \u201cWas it a blunder, or just ignorance?\u201d A user commented under the LADBible Ireland video that shared the clip. Another added, \u201cThe fact that he repeats the question is fairly incriminating.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Irish actress Eve Hewson wrote, \u201cOh, boy.\u201d Singer Imelda May wrote, \u201cIt usually goes like this: \u2018I know you Irish are officially not British but \u2026you kinda just are though aren\u2019t you\u2026 like I know that you\u2019re all \u2018not\u2019 but you all \u2018are\u2019 though.’\u201d<\/p>\n The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes star issued an apology at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of Wasteman.<\/p>\n \u201cFirstly, I\u2019m so sorry to you and your people,\u201d Blyth told The Standard<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve nothing but respect for the Irish and I love Cillian Murphy.\u201d Blyth admitted his embarrassment, adding that he was jetlagged and \u201cblurted out\u201d an answer without properly listening to the question.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old joked that the Peaky Blinders star would not want to work with him anymore because of his mistake. \u201cI genuinely was knackered and just not listening properly,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019ve learned my lesson. Next time, critically hearing is an important thing,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n Blyth was told that he would be welcomed back into Murphy\u2019s hometown of Cork after his apology. To this, he said, \u201cWe\u2019ll see \u2014 maybe a little while longer.\u201d<\/p>\n People have previously mistaken Murphy\u2019s nationality. In an Inception press interview<\/a>, the Oscar winner stressed he was Irish when the interviewer called him British, emphasizing that there was a \u201cbig difference.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Cillian Murphy Receives Apology From Tom Blyth for This Reason<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tom Blyth went viral for mistaking Cillian Murphy\u2018s nationality.
