Cillian Murphy debuts new blond hairstyle at Small Things Like These UK premiere

Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy looked almost unrecognisable when he attended the premiere of Small Things Like These as he sported blonder hair as he posed for pictures

Hollywood actor Cillian Murphy showcased a brand new hair colour at the UK premiere of Small Things Like These.

The 48 year old star, who became globally renowned for his role as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, walked the red carpet with greyish blonde locks. While posing for pictures alongside his co-stars, Cillian wore a mustard coloured jacket, a khaki shirt and black trousers.

In the film, Cillian plays Bill Furlong in the film, based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan, about Ireland’s notorious Magdalene Laundries. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill discovers how mothers and babies are being treated by a convent in New Ross, County Wexford, leading him to confront the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.

Other attendees included Emily Watson and Eileen Walsh. Cillian is set to reprise his role as the Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby for the upcoming Peaky Blinders film. According to the writer and creator Steven Knight, the film will be "an explosive chapter" in the story with "no holds barred."

It was confirmed back in June that the film will be released on Netflix. Creator Steven said: "I'm genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war." And director Tom Harper, who worked on the series in 2013 is also on board for the widely anticipated movie.

He said: "When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago we didn't know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive. Peaky has always been a story about family and so it's incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix."

Cillian is the co-producer of the film. Speaking of the upcoming film, he said: "It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me. It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans." Filming started in September in Birmingham and the movie follows the Shelby family into the Second World War.

Cillian soon became a fan favourite but it was his role in Oppenheimer, that earned him an Oscar. He was also awarded with a Golden Globe, a Bafta and a Screen Actors Guild award for his portrayal as theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, in Sir Christopher Nolan's biopic.
