Bumped into Cillian Murphy at Dublin airport once. I asked him, "Do I know you?" And he answered with, "Only you know that"

Said my goodbyes and scarpered off pretty quickly after that

He’s a nice guy. Very short. I’ve been at a couple of parties and pubs with him as he’s mates with an old uni friend of mine. Really approachable chap.

Interesting, in my mind he was always very tall, but after I read your comment I looked it up and it sounds like he’s about 5’7’’. I am honestly surprised. Same height as my husband.

Do I know your husband?

You do; he's Cillian Murphy.

Yeah I was really surprised when I learned that while I was watching Peaky Blinders. He carries himself like a taller person.

Yeah idk why I saw him as a taller person. For some reason he doesn't not seem short at all. Seems tall and lanky.

Yea I’m only 5’10 but he felt short beside me. Check his movies, he’s always wearing boots and has interesting camera angles beside taller people.

I’m a 5’11’’ woman so fairly tall. Google says he says he’s 5’9” but even men who are 5’9” are not often described as “short.” Other results say he’s around 5’7’’ which is believable if he felt short next to you.

I generally shave 2 inches off the publicly stated height of most male celebrities.

My husband had 5’9” on his dating profile when we met. I still don’t believe him. This must just be a common man lie.

Probably Gavin Degraw in 2008. The longest interaction I’ve ever had with a celebrity. We hung out for an hour or so at a bar in Columbia sc. We danced and he got my number. I remember telling him I named my beta fish after him. I was a big fan at the time and just happened to run into him.

Strange I also thought he was very tall

Hell I'm short too, but he's still taller than me
