Here’s Why Introverts Have Made Cillian Murphy Their Patron Meme Saint
HuffPost
The "Oppenheimer" actor and Academy Award nominee has Big Introvert Energy.
If there was an award for best supporting facial expression, Cillian Murphy’s “I’d really rather be home right now” thousand-yard stare would win this year.
Murphy ― the frontrunner for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his work in “Oppenheimer” ― has Big Introvert Energy, something that fellow introverts, meme accounts and brands with smart social media teams have picked up on this Oscar season.
“Me arriving at the plans I made when I was feeling extroverted,” reads one tweet alongside a clip of the Irish actor meandering around the red carpet at the Golden Globes in January.
“Cillian Murphy fighting for that 8% battery that he has left as an introvert at 7 o’clock,” another person tweeted about the same clip.
Another favorite clip shows Murphy sighing wistfully, hands folded in his lap. One version from the Instagram account of The Wildest, a lifestyle pet site, is captioned: “When I attend a party and the host doesn’t have a pet for me to hyperfixate on.”
