Irish actor Cillian Murphy is in Antwerp for a new film, and a vegan restaurant was lucky enough to host the international star and his crew for lunch on Tuesday, L'Avenir reports.
Cillian Murphy, who starred in Netflix series 'Peaky Blinders' and 2023 blockbuster 'Oppenheimer', is currently touring Belgium. The 47-year-old Irish actor was spotted in Antwerp restaurant Bar d'Henri along with his film crew on Tuesday and became the talk of the town.
The star is currently filming the new 'Small Things Like These': an upcoming historical drama film based on the 2021 novel by Claire Keegan, which is partly set in Belgium.
"He said he really enjoyed it, Cillian Murphy is a very nice guy," the restaurant's owner, Seger De Maesschalck, told Het Nieuwsblad.
"We don't normally serve lunch, but they told us in advance so it wasn't a problem. As they had the restaurant to themselves, the atmosphere was very friendly. When they left, he came over to shake our hands and told us he really enjoyed the food."
Murphy's appearance comes just a few months after American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish was spotted at the very same bar.
