Cillian Murphy has been sweeping this awards season for his role in “Oppenheimer.” Naturally, he’s going to want to celebrate with his family. In a rare award show appearance, Murphy was accompanied at the 2024 Golden Globes by his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, and their youngest son, Aran. They didn’t walk the red carpet with the actor, but they did cheer him on as he won his award. Seeing Aran as a teenager, it’s clear he looks exactly like his dad. They have the same facial structure and straight brown hair — it’s like looking in a mirror. And looks aren’t the only way they’re twinning. Like his dad, Aran has ventured into acting.
In 2019, Aran starred in the one-person play Hamnet, a story of Shakespeare’s son, per the New York Times. He received praise for his role, with The New York Times calling Aran a “blossomed” actor. Murphy was also impressed by his son’s acting abilities. He told The Guardian in 2021, “He was so chilled about it, you know? He would come off stage and ask what the score was in the Liverpool game. And, again, you’re slightly jealous of that! There’s the danger that overanalyzing everything can erode the simplicity.” Aran’s acting career has only continued to blossom, as in February 2024 it was revealed he would be joining Jenna Ortega in the cast of the upcoming film “Klara and the Sun.”
