Peaky Blinders : Hope Cillian Murphy isn't really chain smoking cigs

Hope Cillian Murphy isn't really chain smoking cigs

Just started season 3, and thus guy is going to give himself lung cancer before his enemies have a chance to kill him.

Re: Hope Cillian Murphy isn't really chain smoking cigs

I bet he smokes Herbal ciggarettes, as does the underaged that smoke on the show. It's not addictive as normal tobacco ciggarettes are, it is also completely legal for underaged people to buy and use. But the smoke is equally toxic for the lungs.

Do people still smoke in the UK? I know they do in France.

'Do people still smoke in the UK? I know they do in
France.'
That has to be one of the funniest comments ever!

People smoke in every country in the world.

Granted, vaping is taking over in the UK these days.

Mr Murphy probably doesn't smoke that much. There are lots of ways to make it look like someone is smoking when they actually aren't. Cliff Richard, for example, a non smoker in one of his films had a 'smoking double' who was filmed smoking because Sir Cliff didn't want to.

I figured he was actually smoking cigarettes. His voice on this show is a lot deeper and raspier than in previous things he has been in. Just because it looks like he's chain smoking doesn't mean he actually is though. He could be smoking a few cigarettes a day for the show and they could make it look like he's chain smoking.

Cillian Murphy doesn't smoke in real life, the cigarettes used on the show are rose flavoured herbal things. He and Steven Knight joked about them being part of his five a day

Re: Hope Cillian Murphy isn't really chain smoking cigs

Those herbal cigs aren't much better for his health. It's the chemicals created by burning that's harmful not so much nicotine- though nicotine is addictive. Not saying herbal cig is worse than a regular but it's no win either.

Re: Hope Cillian Murphy isn't really chain smoking cigs

He more than likely was smoking some sort of herbal cigarette, regular cigarettes suck to smoke on film even for experienced actors as they normally do several takes and would have to chain smoke half a pack for even a short cutaway.
