Cillian Murphy is an Irish actor who became famous in early 2000 thanks to his roles in the horror films 28 Days Later, Batman, and the television series Peaky Blinders. The appearance of this man leaves no one indifferent. It's easy to remember. Proportional facial features, a clear jawline and cheekbones, as well as bottomless blue eyes make Killian a favorite of all admirers of male beauty.
But what did Cillian Murphy look like before and after plastic surgery? After all, both fans and plastic surgeons claim that the actor’s striking data is not only a gift of nature, but also a medical intervention.
Cillian Murphy as a child
The actor was born on May 25, 1976 in Douglas. There were 3 more children in his family, Killian being the eldest. Here is a photo of the guy as a child:
Already from an early age, Killian’s facial features were expressive, especially his bright, plump lips. In childhood photographs of the actor, plump cheeks are also noticeable, which are in no way similar to his current sunken cheeks, with pronounced cheekbones. But this can be attributed to natural facial changes associated with growing up.
Photo of Cillian Murphy in his youth
This is what the actor looked like as a teenager (approximately 16-19 years old). The facial features have changed, the jaw line has become more expressive. It is noticeable that Murphy no longer has chubby cheeks, his face has become much thinner and longer.
At the age of 20, Cillian Murphy was studying law at the National University of Ireland and accidentally came across an experimental theater production of A Clockwork Orange. He applied to join a local troupe and subsequently played there.
He made his film debut by playing a small role in the drama “The Tale of Sweety Barrett.” The actor was 23 years old. Here's what he looked like then:
In 2000, at the age of 24, the actor was invited to play the main role in the film “Disco Pigs”. It was a teen drama where Killian played a lovestruck teenager. It was not difficult to create a visually convincing image, since he looks younger than his age. Stills from the film for a closer look at Murphy's face:
It is unknown whether the photo shows actor Cillian Murphy after or before plastic surgery. But we see that the cheeks have become more sunken and the cheekbones more expressive, which is likely due to age-related changes.
In 2002, he played in the horror film 28 Days Later. During this period, 26-year-old Cillian Murphy looked like this:
The man's build explains why his cheekbones stand out so much - he is very thin.
In 2008, Murphy played in the film “Batman” and the actor’s facial features can be seen in the still frames: his nose and cheekbones, which raise the most questions among fans. It is noticeable that the bridge of the nose from the frontal view does not have an ideal shape.
Photos of the actor dating back to 2013, when he began filming the TV series Peaky Blinders, show that his nose has really changed, becoming more even.
As for the cheekbones, they remain as expressive as before. For the filming of Peaky Blinders, the actor, after 15 years of vegetarianism, began to eat meat again, so that, as he himself stated in an interview:
Don't look too skinny.
He also admitted that he was hardly impressive looking. Therefore, Killian had to work hard to look like a real gangster in this series and command authority. Vegetarianism fully explains sunken cheeks and thinness.
Biography
It’s impossible to take your eyes off the movie characters played by Cillian Murphy. The Irishman with bottomless blue eyes is interested in images that evoke a storm of feelings, when after watching a film the viewer wants to drink a glass in the nearest bar to relieve tension and “unload” the brain.
“And only the wife knows what it’s like to live with a scoundrel and a sociopath,” the actor admitted in an interview.

It turns out that most often he has to play negative personalities or those with a difficult fate, but always - natures that are both holistic and multifaceted. And this does not mean that it is easy for directors who select a performer for another marginal figure to persuade Killian. Murphy is not chasing fashionable blockbusters, “if you want a long-lasting career, please choose suitable roles.”
Possible rhinoplasty: photo
It is not known for certain whether the actor had a nose job, but cosmetologists and especially observant fans believe that he did. This is explained by the photos before and after plastic surgery, in which it is noticeable that Killian’s nose is naturally wide and large. Whereas in the new photos this part of the face has become narrower, the back is perfectly flat, and the tip is upturned. In general, the actor’s nose has become more neat and refined. There is a noticeable difference in these photos:
This is not to say that Killian has become unrecognizable, but some changes are visible. Perhaps this is the result of the play of light and the shooting angle. It is only possible to objectively assess whether an intervention actually took place while driving. Those who did not really like such changes in men note the different shape of the nostrils. But the nostrils are different even in people who have not undergone rhinoplasty, because the human face as a whole is not symmetrical and the two sides are different from each other.
Images of him standing in profile also raise doubts about whether Cillian Murphy had plastic surgery. In the first picture a small hump is noticeable, while in the second the back is perfectly straight. But the position of the actor’s face is not identical, so the presence of plastic surgery remains in question.
Removing Bisha's lumps: did it happen?
Another operation that is attributed to the actor is the removal of Bish’s lumps. These are fat deposits in the cheek area that make them appear plumper and “hide” the cheekbone. If they are removed, the cheekbones immediately become more expressive.
More than one Hollywood star has decided to undergo this operation, and Cillian Murphy, as observant people say, is among them. Older photos show that his cheekbones were not so visible before.
But these images do not prove that there was plastic surgery. After all, the actor himself is thin, and even a couple of kilograms gained can change his appearance:
Cillian Murphy's Lip Change
Experts in the field of plastic surgery and cosmetologists unanimously note that Cillian Murphy’s lips have this shape by nature. Not a single photo showed any outlines characteristic of the use of fillers. In both the early and latest photographs of the actor, the lips are equally plump and have a clear shape.
Contouring and Botox
Murphy's fans claim he had facial contouring and Botox to get rid of wrinkles. After all, Killian is over 40 years old, and there are practically no wrinkles on his face. But the lack of changes is explained by both good genetics and a healthy lifestyle. In the photo where he uses facial expressions, wrinkles are noticeable in the nasolabial area, around the eyes, and on the forehead. Therefore, if the actor resorted to botulinum therapy, it was only slightly. The facial expressions remained lively, mobile and natural.
Interesting Facts
In 2001, Killian became the author of the script for the comedy “Observers”, after which he played the main role in it. The film was presented at the Edinburgh Film Festival and received a lot of positive feedback.
Playing Konstantin in the play “The Seagull”, the artist as part of the troupe visited Russia, to the estate of A.P. Chekhov. The initiator of the trip was the director of the play, so that the artists could better get used to the characters.
The role in the melodrama “Girl with a Pearl Earring” was not easy for Murphy. The actor was a vegetarian for many years, and the film was filmed in a slaughterhouse. Killian started eating meat only before filming Peaky Blinders.

Cillian Murphy's comments on surgery
The man does not talk about interventions in his appearance, so it is impossible to say with 100% certainty about their presence. There are no photos on the Internet that show exactly what Cillian Murphy looked like before and after plastic surgery. The actor has changed quite a lot in the process of natural maturation. But even if there was plastic surgery, no one will say that it turned out ugly.
The man looks impeccable, and here we must pay tribute either to his genetics and correct lifestyle, or to the professionalism of the surgeons who were able to emphasize his natural beauty.
Judging by the actor’s indirect comments, it is clear how he feels about his appearance. Killian noted that he does not consider himself a fashionista. He loves simple and comfortable things, but does not express himself through clothes. He wears it until it's completely worn out, and he likes things that age naturally. Random photos demonstrate this:
Whether such a person would undergo plastic surgery or not - this question remains open. In 2022, filming of the series Peaky Blinders continued and we will see how the actor looks now not only in the episodes themselves, but also at the premiere of season 5.
Cillian Murphy's appearance was and remains memorable and striking. It is not known for sure whether the surgeon had a hand in this. But the fact that the star did not become a victim of plastic surgery is a fact. Any changes, if there were any, only benefited him and emphasized the already striking features given by nature.
