How Cillian Murphy Met Fellow Irishman Hozier For The First Time; Find Out

As a devoted fan who has grown up with the rich tapestry of Irish talent, I must say that both Hozier and Cillian Murphy are shining stars in their respective fields. Their shared Irish heritage and mutual admiration for each other’s work make them a unique pair in the world of entertainment.


Hozier and Cillian Murphy are both proud Irishmen, and their love for their country often appears in their work. While people might wonder which one is more famous, it’s clear that they respect each other’s skills greatly.

During his current Unreal Unearth Tour, which began in April, the music sensation shared an amusing story about running into the actor from Oppenheimer on a flight. He recounted this humorous first meeting at a recent performance this week, causing audience members to burst into laughter.

At the concert, Hozier, aged 34, temporarily halted his performances to recognize an unusual encounter with one of Hollywood’s finest, Cillian Murphy. In a straightforward manner, the singer of Take Me To Church admitted that he was attempting to catch a flight while still feeling quite hungover and ended up tripping.

Hozier sustained two blows to his head, causing a wound. As he gently touched the injury, blood started flowing. “I saw my fingers stained with a little bit of blood and thought, ‘Oh dear, I’m bleeding,'” the artist remarked. He was unsure about the severity of the head injury, admitting, “I don’t know how serious it is.” This account comes from the Irish Star.

As I anxiously navigated towards my seat, consumed by worry over the gravity of the musician’s injury beside me, I barely registered the presence of Murphy, 48, seated next to me. In a state of “pale and anxious” contemplation, I pondered approaching a flight attendant for assistance when, surprisingly, Murphy approached me instead to introduce himself as the Oscar-winning actor.

In a narrative to the crowd, Hozier shared, “I glance to my left and there’s Cillian Murphy sitting nearby, he says, ‘Hi there, how are you? I simply wanted to express my gratitude for your part in that project…’ The audience cheered in delight as he spoke.”

The Irish singer informed the audience that the only ever interaction he’s had with the actor before was through “one email exchange” for a collection of essays Murphy was putting together for UNICEF. The contributors ranged from the Irish President to various political figures and artists, including Hozier. 

It’s noteworthy that when the Peaky Blinders actor encountered Hozier, whose real name is Andrew Hozier-Byrne, he happened to catch him at an awkward moment. Since it was a critical situation, all he could manage was a simple “Thanks” before the star. In jest, the singer revealed that he was trying to maintain his composure in front of the famous Hollywood figure.

After the lively gathering, Hozier realized that he hadn’t had another chance to run into the star again and share his story with him, but it seems his friends have certainly been sharing this intriguing anecdote.

At the same time, snippets of a captivating storytelling segment from a concert are circulating widely online, showcasing the singer revealing a luxurious experience to the audience. Simultaneously, Cillian Murphy has been garnering attention on platform X (formerly Twitter).

People have pieced together clues and concluded that Murphy is the muse for Hozier’s 2024 single “Too Sweet” from his third album, Unheard. Fans are spreading this theory on social media, praising the song’s lyrics, and getting excited about the Irish artist’s supposed meeting – a moment that has become a buzz in pop culture.
