Cillian Murphy has easily become one of the most well-recognized faces in Hollywood. Having played many characters with varying types of personalities and lives, there is doubt that he is an incredibly talented actor, fully immersing himself in the complex roles and projects that he takes up, making it hard to look away when the actor is on screen.

“No, I’ve gotten it for a while, all the doppelgänger stuff. It’s definitely been more now, but there hasn’t been a big shift or anything. I don’t really look at Instagram. I’m not on there a ton, and I think most of this [lookalike conversation] is through online stuff. Sometimes I’ll get stopped in Tampa and stuff, but nothing crazy.”
