Cillian Murphy almost didn’t get the role of Thomas Shelby. In the end, it came down to Cillian and Jason Statham due to his demanding presence. Initially, Jason Statham was the favorite to get the role, but Cillian texted the showrunner to remind him that he was actually an actor. That sold the part for him. Cillian has admitted that his kids were terrified of him after he shaved his head for the part, and he created the Shelby walk. His wife hated the fact that he would sometimes walk like that at home, and she told him to just stop walking.

Cillian murphy
Sicilian defense: shelby variation
@@burningedge3502 😂
When he’s taking a break from killing he likes to get silly
Who's silly and who's Murphy?
“I’m actually an actor.” Goat mode activated 😎 🐐
It's pronounced Killian.
💀💀
@@daveroe4961huh?
im ur 900 liker
That's a Tommy Shelby move. Lol
I think nobody in the world could do better than cillian murphy
Agreed 💯👍
I felt like Jason Statham would be a good choice too, given his seriousness in movies
@@phantom6276he’s not
According to him its silian muphy
@@bakataro3437give him a hat and he is
Sillyan Murphy makes him sound he’s in the cheeky blinders
LMAOOO
Sillian if tommy is mafia
And the narrator Cheeky Blunders
😂😂😂😂loollll
😂😂😂😂😂 did I not die
Cillian Murphy reminding them that he's an actor is such a Tommy Shelby thing to do
yo
So true love Jason Statham but he's an action star not an actor.
@@thandondlovu5392 i mean when has he had the chance of a real movie man has been typecasted his whole career 😂
You know who I am, yea? You know what i do, yea? Tell me who i am!
@@Anthony-hy1hj his acting in Hummingbird is quite good.
Every time he said "Sillian", a little part of me died
It's like the Role is only made for him and him only 🔥
his wife told him to stop walking 💀
Lizzy told him wao wait grace told him waoo😪
Wife can walk right out of my goddamn house then
Then he walked right up to her and jammed it down her throat.
@@arthurarty chill out
@@thewizard555 thanks mr. Freeze
I’m so glad it was Cillian who got it. No one else could play Tommy Shelby like him
I think Jason could actually compete
@@kingsamvz3859 he cant nail the brummie accent tho
LOL you didnt even saw what Jason would do in that role, you cant even compare without the other side
@@wasd6287 I don’t need to compare. Cillian plays him perfectly
Jason Statham is the greatest actor of our generation though
He messages the show runners to remind them that Statham wasn't much of an actor 😂 That's God level, haha
He isn't wrong . Statham does the same role in every movie.
He was good in lock stock and snatch, and he was very different in that than anything else he was.
Sounds like a bitch move to me
There could be no other man for that part of Shelby. His build, his look the character of his true self. Made Thomas Shelby.
You wouldn’t know if that were true Becuase they didn’t choose the role or have the show out for you to know what actor fits the character
"his wife told him to stop walking" and so cillian starts floating~
That woman must kiss the ground where her beautiful husband walks 😉😎
@@VivianaMaresHis Walk is so ugly 🙄🤦
He became a 🎈
😂😂
@@VivianaMares😂😂 she knows him since 20s and I bet they have the MOST normal friendship/relationship which is what actually works in real life.
Sillian Murphy be Killian it 💀💀💀
Ive only ever heard it pronounced with an S lol
@@bigdaddysbaked yeah that's wrong
@@bigdaddysbaked same
Best comment
@@alfiebrennan3882In irish maybe it's pronounced Killian, but we're speaking English not Irish. If he wants his name to be pronounced as Killian then he needs to spell it that way. The C in English is pronounced as Sillian
Nobody could do it better.
He saved the show by playing the role🔥
U mean made the show? Saving he saved it means it was unpopular and he swooped in and saved it which isn’t the case. The show has been badass with him from episode 1
@@Purebliss007 he was in the show from episode 1 only the show couldn't have been made without him
Iam glad they pick cillian for thomas Shelby he nailed it man oscar worthy performance 🔥
Man repeted "Cilliyan" oh man I died with laughter 😂
Cillian is an actor, with unique and striking good looks.
I bet the guy who made this is feeling pretty Sillian right now.
My names cillian and whenever another teacher came in they would always call me sillian 💀
Cillian MURPHY IS AMAZING GREAT MAN, ACTOR..REALLY SHOWS HIS GIFTS..THE BEST..OSCAR MAN😊
There would be no Thomas Shelby without Cillian Murphy. No explanation is needed.
no actor on the planet would have done it better than cillian, he did a lot of a badass acting in peaky blinders.
Well method acting is really effective, the problem with it is that if you have 7-8+ method actors in set and their portrayed characters are assholes 90%... they do stay in character after the camera rolls. You can imagine how it is
flat earthers vs round earthers ❌ sillian vs killian ✅
Cillian Murphy was born to play Thomas Shelby.
I can't imagine anyone else as Thomas Shelby. I can imagine other characters but not Thom's
They're all the perfect actors except Finn
I can't picture anyone else doing Arthur either
*tom
@@Joshua-iu2lq watchu mean?!? Lmao leave poor fin alone
@@Joshua-iu2lqwhat?? Finn was great! I hated the ending for his character it didn’t even make any sense
Can’t imagine jason take the lead actor in peaky blinder. He’s more spy/assassin type of guy than a gangster
Nah, he is a gangsta guy. But he's more Alfie kind of gangsta.
@@Zhoshynnah he can’t do Alfie. Alfie has a crazy unpredictable threatening charisma that’s unmatched. Statham could play Alfie’s assassin/right hand man tho
jasons earlier movies hes kinda more of a gangster/mafia guy, he could definetly pull it off
@@FlexStyleZI'm thinking if he could do an Italian accent he might've been good for Sabini
Have u ever watch his movie like the wrath of a man, tht is a bit like thomas shelby character which is a cool gangsta
Imagine his wife suddenly called him, "Thomas! Stop walking!"
Sillian Murphy forever ❤❤
If Cillian didn’t get the role it simply wouldn’t have worked, he was so perfect for that role in ever way
No one could be Tommy Shelby like Cillian was.
Do you mean Sillian?
KILLIAN created a F*CKING masterpiece, an unforgettable character. Dude was DESTINED to play this role and adopted it to the tee. I can't stress the respect for him, unbelievable work
even l wouldnt be able to turn off Thomas shelby in reality. That's an unforgettable character.
Mans born for this role!
Jason would've turned this masterpieace on a regular action movie. Luckly he wasn't choosen.
Sillian was the man for the job. He nailed the part.
It's pronounced like Killian but Sillian really had be rolling 😂
Show would not have been the same with out that stare that pierces your soul
With Jason we'd have had a different Thomas Shelby. It wouldn't have been bad. But I loved the Thomas Shelby Cillian gave us
I’m soooo glad Murphy got the role.
Actually an actor 👏👏👏👏👏
Only thomas shelby can play the role of cillian murphy
Nobody would have done it better than him
Cillian as Tommy, Travis as Ragnar. Some irreplaceable characters and actors
Oui !!!!
Killian’s death stare says it all
Ahhhh yes Sillian Murphy from Sicily
Sillian Murphy, one of the actors of all time in Cheeky Blunders.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can’t anyone else playing the role. He is the sole human who can pull off that character and it’s beautiful watching his acting.
I love Jason, but I can't imagine anyone else doing Thomas Shelby, except Cillian
You know you've got cajones when you tell the truth about Jason Statham lol.
I hope they bring Jason as a nemesis, he would have been so menancing with his physique
Sadly the series is over, with the upcoming movie though you never know
It's not about physique.
Good lord no.
@@j0rdgnzmovie??
@@suborno9249yes, there is supposed to be a movie. But according to Cillian Murphy it's not gonna come out any time soon.
Ha love how Jason got roasted
Y?
@@dominikpomp4389 why did I like seeing him get roasted ? Eh just like a good roast
@@dominikpomp4389 because he’s a bad person
@@funny3scene What’s he do to you?😂
@@funny3scene why bad person?
Statham would have been awesome, but c'mon, no one can beat Murphy
Bro was born for that role it wouldn’t be the same without him ngl
They picked the right guy, I can’t picture Jason doing this, he’s a eliminate everyone by himself through violence typa character, season will end in one, no tactics, family, associates involved, just killin everybody in the scene
The right actor got the role.
Imagine being too cold that your wife tells you to stop walking and your kids are afraid of you 💀💀💀
I like Cilian Murphy for the role.He’s a brilliant Actor.
Nobody could play it as good as he did and I firmly believe that
That walk is everything! Runways around the globe take notice!
“Sillian” will kill you, even Tom Hardy won’t be able to save you
I'm so happy the Mr. Cillian Murphy got that role; portraying as Thomas Shelby
American tries to not mispronounce Irish names challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Siobhan
@@mr.gilbert2790 shovan
@@viictor1309 Nope. "Sho-Bhaan". Bh and V are different.
@@stynershiner1854 pronunciation wise, is it an aspirated B in Siobhan? I thought it was pronounced as a V (at least in english)
@@viictor1309 it is pronounced as a v, don't listen to that other comment, there's no letter V in Irish except for some loan words so the sound is made with either a bh or mh. those can also be pronounced as a w though, it depends on the word, context and dialect
statham would make a good 1 or 2 episode antagonist
Cilliam did an amazing job as Shelby, period !!! Now, Statham should play James Bond cause it's more his style....
I can’t see Jason playing Thomas Shelby too many iconic moments where Jason wouldn’t give off that same feeling honestly he was born for this role
"If you ever again called me sillian, I'd toss a coin"
Murphy is brilliant.👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾👌🏾❤️
thomas really plays murphy well
I cant argue that they both would’ve done great
Jason??? Hell no😂😂😂😂 I would not take him serious 😭
Jason is a pretty decent actor but Cillian is way ahead of him in acting.
@Pratip Chakraborty he just wouldn't suit this role at all, Cillian plays it perfectly something Jason wouldn't be able to do
@@Arrtthur Jason is very good but he have a way different style of acting. i think even with him the show would be very good but in a other kind.
You both are my favourite actor's. Keep making movie so i can keep seeing you act
both of legends I love both of him
I agree that jason is a really good actor but every actor's calibre is limited to one field only jason is good in action scene But playing a quiet but a charismatic role could only be done by cillian murphy The success of peaky blinders would not have been there without cillian
Totalmente de acuerdo
jason has done different stuffs in the past, hes very charismatic, lock stock and two smoking barrels, snatch, hummingbird are different from his newer films and hes great in them
It's Killian. The young boy.
I get what you're saying 😂😂
I hope that text about him being an actual actor was real. It's brilliant.
I love Jason Statham, but NO ONE could pull off this role better than Cillian Murphy.
Sillian 💀
Killian, my guy, it’s hurts me so much that you would say that
Couldn't imagine a brown eyed Thomas Shelby. His blue eyes practically had their own character presence.
They are scared of him walking Imagine him running 💀
Sillian.....damn son....
Cillian Murphy was meant to be Thomas Shelby ❤
Cillian as Tommy Shelby was like Robert as Tony Stark.
I call him Skillian...he has the skills
Cillian Murphy is goated asf. He's the Godfather of this generation.
Sillian Murphy is the best 😂
Cillian amazing actor locks in as of he’s actually there and he’s living it. Amazing!
I can’t imagine anyone else in that role. He is the only one, and the best.
Well. I think his kids were terrified because Thomas Shelby was playing Cillian Murphy
You mean sisillian?
@@jacobblack9796 Sillian*
Believe me or not but it was the matrix which made him text just to create the most iconic role in the history of television
Jason Statham couldn't pull off the Peaky Blinder haircut 😂😂
Cillian Murphy ever 💝
Perfect casting
Wife : stop walking, thn sigma male emerged
He actually Got Thomas Shelby in his Personality now.
He played that role 💯%
No you did not just call him that...
"Sillian Murphy" 😂
