Until somewhat recently, versatile Irish actor Cillian Murphy was often regarded as more of a go-to villain than as a sex symbol . . . but that was before the world saw him in Peaky Blinders and realised that he's drop-dead gorgeous. How his chiseled bone structure and striking blue eyes avoided widespread celebrity-crush status for so long is a mystery, because Murphy has been gorgeous from the start of his career — and we've rounded up 29 movie moments that prove it.
