Oh Boy!

Tom Blyth has apologised to Cillian Murphy after calling him a 'British Icon'!

In a now deleted post, the actor was asked which "British icon" he would like to see front the Burberry’s spring/summer show.

To which Tom responded: "British icon I’d like to see in a Burberry campaign? Ooh, I mean, Cillian Murphy. Let’s say Cillian."

Speaking at BFI London Film Festival at the premiere of his new film Wasteman the British actor gave a public apology: "Firstly, I’m so sorry to you and your people."

"I’ve nothing but respect for the Irish and I love Cillian Murphy. I was so embarrassed – I was so jetlagged that I didn’t listen to the question properly and I just blurted it out."

“Oh my God, Cillian Murphy is never going to want to work with me,” he laughed.

“I genuinely was knackered and just not listening properly. I’ve learnt my lesson. Next time, critically hearing is an important thing.”
