Aran Murphy, 18, is the youngest son of Irish actor,, who won an Academy Award in 2024 for his portrayal of nuclear physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer in the movie, Oppenheimer.
TV series War is one of Aran’s first roles which began principal filming in September.
The two-season series is a HBO and Sky production, which follows the story of two rival law firms each representing high-profile clients in a messy, but public divorce case.
Aran’s acting debut was in the 2022 film Lola, and he also has a role in the upcoming Taika Waititi movie Klara and the Sun which comes out next year.
Despite having a famous dad, Cillian has promised Aran has the talent to be more than a nepo-baby.
“It may not be the thing he does, but he’s really good at it,” he told Telegraph magazine last year.
One of Cillian’s friends had a stern warning about Aran’s acting career.
The friend told Cillian: “One of my friends saw him in a play and said, ‘Cill, he’s better looking, he’s a better actor, he’s younger, and he’s taller. You’re f****d.’ We’ll see.”
Cillian added: “People are smart enough to judge you on your talent. There’s no way any kid will get by on nepotism alone. Everyone in this business gets found out unless they’re good, and he’s a good little actor.
“But we’re not putting him under any pressure. If he decides to become a musician or a poet or a farmer or a chef, that’s up to him.”
Cillian also shares a son Malachy, 20, with wife
Yvonne and met in 1996 in during a gig with one of his amateur bands and they married in 2004.
The pair moved back home to Ireland from London so the kids could be near their grandparents.
“We wanted them to be Irish, I suppose. It’s amazing how quickly their accents have adapted,” Cillian said at the time.
The actor has had a prolific film career including starring in 28 Days Later, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies, and Inception.
One of his standout roles included playing Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby in the BBC drama, Peaky Blinders.
