Toronto, Canada – Actor Cillian Murphy, known for his roles in 'Oppenheimer' and 'Peaky Blinders,' displayed a moment of genuine surprise and amusement on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) when confronted with a viral story about his unexpected musical inspiration. Interviewed by iHeartRadio Canada, Murphy was asked about claims that he was the muse for a line in Hozier's popular song 'Too Sweet,' stemming from an alleged encounter where a hungover and 'bleeding' Hozier sat next to him on a plane. "You were part of the inspiration of the song, Hozier 'Too Sweet,'" the interviewer began, probing Murphy's memory. "So what do you remember about being next to a hungover Hozier, a bleeding, hungover Hozier on a plane? Do you remember?" Murphy, with a characteristic earnestness, responded, "Oh, I don't know that story. So I don't know." He paused, reflecting, before adding, "I mean, I did meet him on a plane once, I don't recall he was bleeding." The actor's slight smile and a hint of disbelief were evident as the interviewer pressed on, explaining Hozier's claim. "He claims that he was bleeding and that was part of what inspired a line in the song 'Too Sweet,' but he said he's been too nervous to tell you that," the interviewer clarified. Murphy's face then broke into a wider, good-natured smile, concluding with a simple, "Oh, well now I know." The interaction quickly garnered attention online, highlighting Murphy's often-discussed detachment from celebrity gossip and his own public image.
