Cillian Murphy NOT Amused By 28 YEARS LATER Zombie Comparison

by

When the trailer for *28 Years Later* was released, many fans believed a very thin zombie in a field of flowers was actually Cillian Murphy, who starred in the original *28 Days Later*. They speculated that his character, Jim, had become infected. However, it was later revealed that the zombie was played by an actor named Angus Neill, not Cillian Murphy. Murphy, who had been keeping a low profile, recently responded to the online comparisons and admitted he didn’t appreciate being mistaken for a zombie.

Cillian Murphy’s sons showed him a trailer for *28 Years Later* and pointed out that people online thought the zombie in it looked like him. He jokingly said, “That’s great, people think I look like a zombie cadaver. It’s very flattering.” According to *The Observer*, he delivered this line with a deadpan expression.

I have to say, Cillian Murphy, when you bring it up, you’re absolutely right! But honestly, seeing the zombie in the *28 Years Later* trailer… it really does look like him! And it’s still noticeable even *in* the movie! I guess it might not be the most complimentary comparison for Cillian, but… it’s a strangely good-looking zombie, isn’t it?

Both *28 Days Later* and its sequel, *28 Years Later*, starring Cillian Murphy, are now streaming on Netflix, so you can compare the zombie effects for yourself. And be sure to say hi to Cillian Murphy’s doppelgänger while you’re watching!
