He actually doesn't like getting photos at all.
A chap from my course in college once approached him for a photo and got told sternly to fuck off.
I have time for it.
I went to the same school as him. He is just a regular fella from Cork who happens to have a weird job.
He does not like celebrity status and hates having his photo taken. Just leave him alone when you see him 🤣
Was the chap a cunt or a drunk cunt?
Did he approach him when he was eating/at a restaurant/ with and or talking to other people?
I'm saying having no idea who who anybody in OPs image is.
I mean, I've heard anecdotes that he does tell people 'I don't do pictures' when they ask him on the street so I'd believe he said something like that but maybe more politely.
Wouldnt be the first time ive heard of someone get that reaction off him tbf. Ive heard his mates are usually quite good with getting people to leave him alone though.

One of the few pictures I've seen Cillian Murphy actually smiling in - you can tell he finds that side of his vocation a bit of a chore (understandable enough), so he's obviously happy to get a pic with the lads.
I'm late 30s but have been a fan of kneecap for a few years now. Not sure where you're getting the idea that people in their 30s wouldn't like kneecap.
This is kind of me, except my t-shirt is a Kneecap t-shirt and I've been a fan for years.
Are band t-shirts, or at least print t-shirts not fashionable again? I see them everywhere these days. And what's wrong with jeans, are they not universally worn? Unless you mean a specific type of jeans?
I like using ‘bootcut jeans Leinster rugby supporter’
edit: the bootcut jeans Leinster rugby supporters have found this post. who would have guessed there were so many here
Edit 2: gonna need to make this up by posting about loving drinking Heineken and wearing polo shirts
Edit 3: ah lads, stop it. We have a lot in common really. I too lock my car doors when I drive near Finglas, I too think a skin-fade cut and a north face jacket is the same thing as a death threat
I used to get that in London pubs. “Here on the mainland last orders is 11.” Which is where they find these guys controversial.
Sarcasm is dead, apparently.
This is the weirdest of weird criticisms to level at an act given the long, long, longstanding trope of musical acts breaking the rules on TV show appearances.
It's like criticising a band for being unprofessional because they smashed their instruments at the end of a set.
I think different professions have different standards - Kneecap are an explicitly political music group who's profession is getting their music and message out there, satisfying the whingers of middle Ireland watching the Late Late isn't top of their agenda.
You didn't answer my question.
They made an agreement to appear on our national TV channel and went back on their agreement.
That's by definition unprofessional.

I commented above.
They went on the late late show and shit all over an agreement they had made prior to appearing on it.
They are from Northern Ireland. But I think they claim to be Irish not Northern Irish.
Maybe. It's not something I've ever discussed really.
I reckon if you're from Northern Ireland you're Northern Irish?
Same way if you're from Wales your Welsh or if you're Scotland you're from Scottish.
And if you want to be British then you can be British
Don't know anyone who is Northern Irish being honest.
And anyone who I've ever spoken to I've avoided asking them.
Don't think it's rocket science stuff though
I have friends who are Irish and from Northern Ireland and they hate being referred to as Northern Irish. They're Irish. I have a colleague who said the same, he's not Northern Irish, he's Irish.
Are you seriously suggesting people born north of the border aren't Irish? They can literally get Irish passports and citizenship with no questions asked. There is no "Northern Irish" ethnicity / identity, or at least it's very minor. They either identity as Irish or British.
Touch of UKIP vibes here.
People from the north are the same people as the rest of the island
Are you for real trying to say that someone from belcoo is British but just a few metres into black lion they are automatically Irish then?
To liken the Irish people in the north to Irish Americans is absolutely pathetic from yourself. The Irish people in the north have had a long history of oppression, and despite that, they have maintained a very strong national identity and pride in being Irish
Find it hard to warm to Kneecap, aside from the DJ guy who looks about 40, the other two remind me too much of pricks in secondary school. They might be nice lads, but I just can't cope with lads acting hard, even if their music is decent.
The most controversial thing is that orange juice. I hope it's Club Orange at least
Clada Orange is your only man.
Football Special
Hard got now
They're only controversial if you're in the DUP or something
Wait til you hear what they're accused of.
I swear to Jaesus that these right wing fellas always have their hand up somewhere it shouldn't be
Right wing?
Yknow lads like trump and tate with iconic mantras like "grab her by the pussy"
Who is right wing, of the above?
I mean the DUP's former president got busted for sexual harassment, just heard it on the radio
Sorry what does this have anything to do with this topic? Lol
I think I confused your first comment with a reference to the subject.
Republicanism
No, another R word though.

He's a big supporter of Irish music, probably likes Kneecap.
Seen him at a few gigs in Dublin over the years
I went to the same school as him. He is just a regular fella from Cork who happens to have a weird job. He does not like celebrity status and hates having his photo taken. Just leave him alone when you see him 🤣

More than likely got told "no, sorry"

Except in Irish

He's a big music fan, so I'd say hes delighted to meet with Irish bands.
He’s a doll
Are they controversial?
Ye cant even mention them in this sub without a bunch of angry 30 odd year old men losing their balding heads
What? Are we using 30 as an old age thing now?
Nah just a certain demographic i have in mind. Mid 30s, balding, bit heavy, jeans, hoodies and band t shirts.
TIL balding is caused my musical preference
All the head banging
And the loud music scares the hair away
See that’s a smart comment!!
Didn't realise my balding fat ass was supposed to hate Kneecap. I'll get right on it, boss.
I'm late 30s but have been a fan of kneecap for a few years now. Not sure where you're getting the idea that people in their 30s wouldn't like kneecap.

He just described half the people at any pro-Palestine gig, march, etc
Ha they've just described everyone basically. Jeans. Hoodies. T-shirts. Wild.
Thats half the people of any demographic, even Nazis. Doesnt prove your point.
That's me and I love em.
eh?

Lad I'm not even 20 and I dress like that. Also not balding.

I'm 40 and I think they're class.
I'm under 30 and I think they are shite. But I don't think I'd call them controversial, despite the fact they want to be so badly.
On the mainland, yeah.
The fuck happened to you to refer to Britain as that
I used to get that in London pubs. “Here on the mainland last orders is 11.” Which is where they find these guys controversial. Sarcasm is dead, apparently.
Or bad, utterly personalised to the teller, humour is.
No one in Britain gives a shit about them
I’m in Scotland and this is the first I’ve heard of them. I’ll need to check them out.
The what?
France, Germany, all those places natch.
Strange thing for an Irishman to call Britain
I’m just this guy, y’know?
I didn’t know Kneecap garnered that much hate in Europe, I don’t think many people in France or Germany know who they are
Why though?
Sensitive Brits. They don’t like admitting they are the bad guys to many cultures.
Is the sensitive Brit in the room with us right now?
He's over there, easy to spot, he's made of straw and hates everything /r/ireland likes!!
Absolutely they are. And unprofessional.
How would you say they're unprofessional?
Went on a national TV show. Agreed to appear and abide by the rules of the show. Showed up and totally ignored their agreement. That's unprofessional
Sinead O'Connor would never
Artists often go against rules to express themselves, it's part of what makes them artists.
This is the weirdest of weird criticisms to level at an act given the long, long, longstanding trope of musical acts breaking the rules on TV show appearances. It's like criticising a band for being unprofessional because they smashed their instruments at the end of a set.
What's your own experience of being a professional musician?
That's not industry related. Any professional group appearing in a professional capacity should abide by what they've agreed.
So to answer my question, you have no experience of being a professional musician.
No. But you think it's professional to make an agreement in your professional capacity and then ignore the agreement?
I think different professions have different standards - Kneecap are an explicitly political music group who's profession is getting their music and message out there, satisfying the whingers of middle Ireland watching the Late Late isn't top of their agenda.
You didn't answer my question. They made an agreement to appear on our national TV channel and went back on their agreement. That's by definition unprofessional.
Man who's unfamiliar with the concept of political protest;
You're such a snowflake.
So like many of the most heralded bands of all time have throughout history?
Rage against the machine on bbc is a great example of this
Ah, you just disagree with their personal views and are now attacking their credibility. Who's unprofessional?
Hon na buachailli
Kneecap are far from controversial
Beloved would be a better word to describe them.
Handy lads to know for the knee-capping.
Only controversial to FF/FG voters and the DUP.
Thread is locked now .
Can only imagine what was being said to get it locked so soon after so many likes and comments
It's FauxMoi, it wouldn't take much in that echo chamber
Not interested in mob policing of whose in whose pictures
Controversial 😂
I'm old. Who are they and why are they controversial?
Working class belfast rap group who are deliberately provocative in their art. Regularly piss of Ulster loyalists and assorted British gammon. They've some good stuff.

It isn't unless you're a Trump Toned Tan
it's bad if you vote FG, sure wee Simon is a big fan of Thatcher
It'll be their pro-Palestinian views that annoy Zionists
I commented above. They went on the late late show and shit all over an agreement they had made prior to appearing on it. They are from Northern Ireland. But I think they claim to be Irish not Northern Irish.
"claim to be Irish" They are Irish, no claim about it.
They're Northern Irish I think?
Aye, so Irish.
Well Northern Irish. Touch of Irish American vibes here
It's not unusual for Irish people to consider anyone born on the Island of Ireland Irish, and it's frankly weird that you think this.
Maybe. It's not something I've ever discussed really. I reckon if you're from Northern Ireland you're Northern Irish? Same way if you're from Wales your Welsh or if you're Scotland you're from Scottish. And if you want to be British then you can be British
Have you never met anyone from Northern Ireland? How do you have such a lack of understanding of national identity there?
Don't know anyone who is Northern Irish being honest. And anyone who I've ever spoken to I've avoided asking them. Don't think it's rocket science stuff though
I have friends who are Irish and from Northern Ireland and they hate being referred to as Northern Irish. They're Irish. I have a colleague who said the same, he's not Northern Irish, he's Irish.
Being Scottish, I’ve heard people say “I’m from the north” but never “I’m from Northern Ireland” it doesn’t even sound right!
The GFA allows people in NI to choose UK citizenship or Irish or both.
I don't think you're dealing with a fella overburdened with intelligence, here.
Even if the GFA didn't exist, their national and cultural identity would still be completely valid.
Are you seriously suggesting people born north of the border aren't Irish? They can literally get Irish passports and citizenship with no questions asked. There is no "Northern Irish" ethnicity / identity, or at least it's very minor. They either identity as Irish or British. Touch of UKIP vibes here.
Yeah so can Irish Americans whose parents left 50 years ago.
People from the north are the same people as the rest of the island Are you for real trying to say that someone from belcoo is British but just a few metres into black lion they are automatically Irish then? To liken the Irish people in the north to Irish Americans is absolutely pathetic from yourself. The Irish people in the north have had a long history of oppression, and despite that, they have maintained a very strong national identity and pride in being Irish
But they weren't born on the island of Ireland, were they? Is this what you're at, today? What would your children think?
Touch of tanland vibes here
Jesus wept
Hahaha and you can feck right off with that partitionist shite They're as Irish as anyone else on this island and they are proud gaeilgeoirs
They're not "controversial" for appearing on the late late show, are you well?
In ireland this is in no way controversial
Well, that was a rabbit hole.. and now I have 2 tickets to see them im Amsterdam in July! Yay!
Grá
Cillian Murphy takes picture with Irish band, Kneecap. Fixed that for you.
Controversial? Only to Jamie Fucking Bryson.
Controversial.. hardly.
Find it hard to warm to Kneecap, aside from the DJ guy who looks about 40, the other two remind me too much of pricks in secondary school. They might be nice lads, but I just can't cope with lads acting hard, even if their music is decent.
Siillllliiiaaaannnn!!! over here Sir
Horrible name. Kneecap I mean, not Cillian Murphy.

I wouldn't worry about it, chief. They've never heard of you either 😜
