Irish actor Cillian Murphy is one of Ireland's finest talents, with the Cork native living between Dublin and London throughout the years to facilitate his stellar career.
The Peaky Blinders star, 46, keeps much of his personal life private, telling interviewers throughout the years: "The less people know about me, the better."
However, we do know that the actor married visual artist Yvonne McGuinness in 2004 and the couple have two children together.

And in 2015, he spent €1.7 million on a stunning home in a much desired location in the Monkstown area of south Dublin.
The stunning period home was constructed in the 1860s and is a protected building with well-preserved Victorian aspects.
The terraced house has six double bedrooms as well as a drawing room, and came with a number of original fireplaces.
The property's original listing shows a living area with high ceilings and large bay windows, complete with a beautiful wrought iron fireplace.
After it was purchased, the 3,444sq ft house received permission to upgrade so the family have no doubt put their own stamp on the property.
The coveted location is only a five-minute walk to the sea and is close to a number of luxurious amenities including yacht clubs, parks and a number of highly sought after schools.
And it looks like Cillian bought the house at a good time as other properties in the area have since sold for up to €3.6 million euro.
It is not known if the purchase was an investment decision or bought for personal residential purposes by Murphy.
Cillian previously revealed that the family moved back to Ireland after spending 14 years in London because his children had developed "very posh English accents".
Speaking about his decision to come back to Ireland, he told the Armchair Expert podcast: “We wanted the kids to be Irish.
"They were sort of at that age where they were pre-teens, they had very posh English accents and I wasn’t appreciating that too much so we decided to come back," he said laughing.
Cillian previously revealed to GQ magazine that he and his wife Yvonne enjoy cooking, watching films and listening to music so it's likely his Monkstown home is a perfect haven for those home-life activities.
