Emily Blunt Says That 'Emaciated' Cillian Murphy Only Ate An Almond A Day For His Role In Oppenheimer

Cillian Murphy took an extreme approach to dieting in order to transform into scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer for the Christopher Nolan-directed “Oppenheimer” film.

“He had such a monumental undertaking,” the actor’s onscreen wife, actress Emily Blunt, told Extra in a new interview.

“And he could only eat, like, an almond every day. He was so emaciated.”

My first thought right away was what's the point of even having one almond? Just go cold turkey and don't eat a single thing at that point. 

I don't think actors and actresses get enough credit for doing this crazy shit as they commit to a role because it really is absolutely insane. I feel like people don't realize half of the shit actors do to get into character, but this seems a little much. I feel like he should have just taken ozempic or some shit. 

I am just imagining him every day by himself and nothing else around him besides that one almond. I couldn't imagine being around this bastard. Think about how miserable he must have been to hang around. I need to know all about the first meal he had after he was done shooting. I also feel like his stomach has to be so fucked up after this. Going from this diet back to eating like a normal slouch? I only think it's fair for the stomach to fight back. 

Also you look at him in the movie you can tell he really did this shit because he looks famished and fucking awful. So I guess good for him but you can still mix in a cheeseburger and lose some weight, man. He must have been having a few more almonds than Emily Blunt is leading on here. I'm not buying it, but good job because it sounds like he really crushed the role.
