Dear Cillian Murphy,
I can't believe you exist!!!
At first when I was exploring you, I easily thought, "oh yeah, he is my ideal" but I didn't actually know how true that was until I started exploring you further. It is difficult to get much from watching movie promotion interviews, but these little sparkling glimpses would appear, causing me to gasp and giggle with delight.
VICE interview...you were vocal about not loving the process of promoting a project with interviews but you did it earnestly with projects you truly believe in. I thought , "Oh my God!! He has integrity and values! Just look at that integrity! That is amazing in his industry!"
Later you go into a shop that has some sweet looking antique guitars. You make a B-line for this. "The music is still alive in him!" is the the spontaneous mental note I make. You admire a guitar that is £27,000 and immediately reject the idea of spending so frivolously and self indulgently. Immediately I think, "Oh my God, what planet are you from? You aren't materialistic and selfish! How is it you exist in that industry?!!! I think you might be a unicorn or some other mythical creature! People say they exist, but you have never seen one yourself."
Another interview...
Apparently you like to hike with your dog. Two thoughts occur: "Yay! He's a dog person!" "He likes to be outside and enjoy nature like me!"
Something became clear to me as I fell deeper in love with you with each morsel of goodness I found about you. At last I met someone who is the mirror of who I have become after the 9 years of my transformative spiritual journey back to self. The parts of you I find so beautiful and amazing are also who I am. By loving what I am seeing in you, I am also loving the me I have become and that is priceless.
If by some freak happening you find yourself available for a new relationship, will you marry me? 😁
Sincerely,
Oktobre
PS: I deliberately didn't use a photo of you because I know I would be more attracted to something funny than having to look at several pictures of myself. I'm guessing you would feel the same. The illustration I have selected is for you and not the potential readers of this letter. 🐬
