Cillian Murphy's 'Resting Bored Face' Meme Takes Over as Taylor Swift Gushes About Her Engagement
Cillian Murphy's Blazing Hot 'Resting Bored Face' Steals the Show
In a hilarious moment that left fans in stitches, Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy appeared on The Graham Norton Show alongside pop sensation Taylor Swift, and let's just say he was not exactly beaming with excitement. As Taylor gushed about her recent engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, Cillian's face seemed to scream "I'd rather be anywhere else!" - and fans couldn't get enough of it.
The 47-year-old Irish actor, known for his roles in Oppenheimer and Peaky Blinders, was called out by viewers for his lackluster reaction to Taylor's engagement news. But let's be real, folks - Cillian has been a meme machine for years, and this latest display of his 'resting bored face' is the cherry on top.
As Taylor showed off her stunning diamond ring, which reportedly cost Travis Kelce between $700,000 and $1,000,000 (yes, you read that right!), Cillian's expression remained as flat as a failed soufflé. Fans quipped that he was "performing mental gymnastics" to get through the segment, but we're pretty sure that's just Cillian being Cillian.
The Graham Norton Show panel also featured Taylor's new album, The Life Of A Showgirl, which had everyone talking (except Cillian, of course). When asked by Graham when the wedding was happening, Taylor coyly replied, "You'll know. I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning." Talk about a subtle hint at an upcoming nuptial celebration!
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on Cillian's reaction, with many praising his commitment to being as unimpressed as possible. One fan wrote, "Cillian Murphy's dedication to not caring is truly inspiring." Another quipped, "I'm pretty sure Cillian just phoned it in for the whole segment."
But here's the thing - despite all the hilarious commentary about Cillian's lack of enthusiasm, it seems he and Taylor actually get along swimmingly. At an Oscars party, Taylor recalled meeting Cillian and his family, including their adorable sons Aran (17) and Lorcan (15). She even bonded with Cillian's kids over a shared love of conversation - talk about a rare talent!
In fact, when Taylor spotted Aran in the audience during her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she couldn't resist giving him a shout-out. "Oh, he's right there! You can tell, isn't that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" she gushed. Cillian playfully rolled his eyes, and host Graham Norton chimed in with, "If this was a game show, we'd all just won a prize!"
So what do we learn from this delightful exchange? For one, Cillian Murphy is still the undisputed king of 'resting bored face' - and we can't get enough of it. Two, Taylor Swift is clearly a fan of Cillian's laid-back demeanor (or maybe she just likes an audience). And three, Graham Norton Show is the place to be if you want to see some serious comedic gold.
