I had to give up vegetarianism

Probably not many Murphy fans know that the actor was a vegetarian for 15 years before starting work on the series "Sharp Peaks". As it turned out in the interview, the reason for this was not at all the rescue of unfortunate animals, but in fear of contracting a terrible disease. Here's what about this, Killian told the interviewer:

"I have not eaten meat for a decade and a half. Before I took this decision, I looked at a TV show telling how easy it was to catch mad cow disease. I was so impressed by what I saw that I could not overcome myself by eating a piece of steak. However, as time went on, and when my candidacy was considered for the main role in the crime series, I was told that I was approaching except for one "but". According to the creators of the picture, the main character Thomas Shelby can not have such an emaciated look as I have. I was recommended to gain weight by sending me to a sports coach. Looking at me, he asked what I eat. When I said that for a long time I did not eat meat, he advised me to get rid of this habit. I had to give up vegetarianism, and I quickly started gaining weight and muscle mass. "

In the life of Killian does not really care about his appearance

After that Murphy confessed that in life he prefers to wear comfortable and practical clothes, and his appearance of the actor is quite comfortable. That's what Killian said to the interviewer:

"I'm not one of those people who brag about their body, exposing it for show. I'm quite comfortable the way I look now. I believe that nature has worked normally on what I see in the mirror. Many people ask me why I dress in blue clothes. The answer is very simple: it is practical, and you always look very stylish in it. Judge for yourself: you take a pair of blue jeans, a blue shirt and a dark blue jacket. Really it is combined badly? As for me, that's fine. And if to this to all add more and good shoes, it will be generally fine. However, in addition to color, I always choose only quality clothing. If it is convenient for me, the clothes do not lose their appearance after the first socks, then it will take a long time to settle in my wardrobe. "
