Truly, they’re never not at it!
English actor Tom Blyth has apologised to Cillian Murphy after referring to him as a “British icon”.
Tom, who appeared in The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, was asked what “British icon” he would like to see front a Burberry show.
He was quick to respond: “British icon I’d like to see in a Burberry campaign? Ooh, I mean, Cillian Murphy. Let’s say Cillian.”

And the internet was quick to react, reminding him that Cillian was very not British! Even Irish celebrities got involved with the drama.
Imelda May commented: “It usually goes like this: ‘I know you Irish are officially not British but… you kinda just are though aren’t you… like I know that you’re all ‘not’ but you all ‘are’ though.’”
While Eve Hewson simply wrote: “Oh boy,” and newly married Greg O’Shea left a vomit emoji.
It seems as though British Vogue has now removed this interview clip from social media.

Ah, Tom, it was nice knowing ya!
He was asked about the fumble at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of his new film Wasteman.
Speaking to The London Standard, he said: “Firstly, I’m so sorry to you and your people.

“I’ve nothing but respect for the Irish and I love Cillian Murphy. I was so embarrassed – I was so jetlagged that I didn’t listen to the question properly and I just blurted it out,” he confessed.
“Oh my God, Cillian Murphy is never going to want to work with me. I genuinely was knackered and just not listening properly. I’ve learnt my lesson. Next time, critical hearing is an important thing.”
Well at least he’s learned his lesson!
