What’s With Cillian Murphy? AIBU?

So last night, I was watching TV.

Family piled on the sofa. Kids… dogs… we were laughing and chatting and generally enjoying the craic. Also in the room, just out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Cillian Murphy. He was steadily working through a pile of ironing which had accumulated in the hot weather cause it was too hot to tackle right? He was smiling. Joining in the banter. He joined us on the sofa and then ordered a Deliveroo. Which was proper nice of him cause I was feeling a bit peckish.

AIBU to have wanted this scenario to have played out before my dog woke me? She likes to get up onto the bed round about 7am. Would have been nice to have seen what Cillian ordered 😐

Yes you’re unreasonable. Get up and go walk the dog.
No. It was lovely of Cillian to wade through your ironing pile and order snacks but did he pay?

I don't think Cillian would do that. He would be sat on the edge of your sofa (not wanting to commit to the permanence of taking the full seat) and looking at you all like he would rather be ANYWHERE else in the world.

Thats my impression from his interviews anyway.

I met him once.

Sorry but you can’t just end your post on
“I met him once”……

Details please?? 🙏🙏🙏🙏

AHH, I woke up in the middle of a delicious dream about my imaginary boyfriend OP. It's too cruel.

That's one amazing fantasy.
A gorgeous bloke doing your ironing.
Does it get better?
George Clooney cleaning the lav?

Nooooo , don’t ruin it with extras.

Cillian on his own would do nicely ☺️

ETA would also accept Tommy Shelby

I feel like I’ve found my people on mumsnet now ☺️

I think I would've been quite disappointed if the thing he was doing in my dream was the ironing!

dudsville · 19/08/2026 20:56

Fabulous dream op, the dog didn't mean to ruin it!

mamaduckbone · 19/08/2026 20:55

At least waking up means you can complete the Cillian in your living room scenario in whatever way you choose, with your most desired Deliveroo and whatever might come after…

Nousernameideaaga · 19/08/2026 20:55

Did he tell you “no fucking fighting” about him doing the ironing?

dibleydob · 19/08/2026 20:54

When he was ironing was he doing that face he does when he gets bored in interviews?

Tableforjoan · 19/08/2026 20:54

How very rude of your dog.

However I heard he is not very good at ironing.

Nousernameideaaga · 19/08/2026 20:53

Firstly wtf are you talking about?

Secondly, it doesn’t matter , carry on………

Also how can I get him to do my ironing?
