Irish actor Cillian Murphy recently made headlines for his less-than-impressed reaction to a meeting with Prince Harry.
The encounter took place at the Dunkirk World Premiere in London back in 2017, and a video capturing the moment has been making waves on Twitter.
In the video, which has garnered the attention of over a million viewers, Prince Harry and Cillian Murphy can be seen engaged in conversation.
However, the audio accompanying the video seems to suggest a controversial miscommunication about Murphy’s ethnicity.
Initially addressed as British, Murphy quickly corrects the statement, emphasizing that he is Irish and highlighting the distinction.
It is important to note that the audio attached to the video is from a completely different source, a YouTube Shorts video.
This footage dates back to the premiere of Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed film, Dunkirk, which boasted an impressive cast including pop star Harry Styles, Tom Hardy, and, of course, Cillian Murphy.
During the London premiere, Prince Harry attended to congratulate the stars.
While the exact details of their conversation remain unknown, it is clear that Murphy gave the prince a rather intense side-eye.
Reddit users were quick to comment on the interaction, with one remarking, “Beautiful side-eye.
And this is when you know that Harry’s a twat.”
Another user expressed admiration for Murphy’s dedication to his craft, contrasting it with their perception of Prince Harry as a non-working con artist.
The discussion then shifted towards the ongoing royal row and Hollywood’s stance on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Reports suggested that the couple was considering a move to Malibu, a hub for the rich and famous.
However, a source claimed that despite their proximity, Hollywood’s elite would always favor Prince William and Princess Catherine.
This preference stems from a fear that any personal information shared with Harry and Meghan could end up in future tell-all books or documentaries, potentially damaging relations with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
According to Paula Froelich, News Nation’s senior story producer and royal expert, the power players in Hollywood prioritize their business interests above any association with Harry and Meghan.
These individuals have movies to sell and Broadway plays they want to debut in London, and they know that Prince William and Kate are the biggest celebrity guests in town.
Therefore, they avoid being seen as friends with Harry and Meghan to maintain their relationships with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Despite the lack of interest from Hollywood’s elite, rumors persist that Harry and Meghan are considering a move away from their Montecito mansion.
According to a source, they have been exploring living options in the outer parts of Los Angeles, particularly Malibu.
The area’s proximity to Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, where major deals are made, makes it an appealing choice.
Additionally, Malibu offers a vibrant social scene where stars, producers, and studio executives mingle and negotiate over dinner and beach parties.
While the couple’s future plans remain uncertain, the clash between Cillian Murphy and Prince Harry at the Dunkirk premiere has certainly added fuel to the ongoing narrative surrounding the royal family.
As Hollywood’s top stars seemingly take sides, it remains to be seen how this will impact the couple’s reputation and their potential move to Malibu.
