At the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, held on Friday, Cillian Murphy made his first appearance with an eye-catching new style while attending the world premiere of his newest movie titled “Steve.

49-year-old actor from Peaky Blinders, sporting wavy locks, was spotted during photo ops before the premiere, portraying a weary headteacher at a reformatory school in the latest Netflix series.

In a sharp and elegant manner, Cillian chose a timeless black, single-breasted blazer paired with a pristine white dress shirt and well-tailored black pants. To finalize his stylish look, he donned sleek black leather shoes.

As I stepped onto the red carpet, ahead of the highly anticipated premiere, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. The Oscar winner that I am, I was more than happy to pose for selfies and extend warm greetings to my supportive fans, spreading the joy that comes with being in such a prestigious event.

After the unveiling of the Steve trailer a month ago, it showed Cillian undergoing a dramatic change into a tired, unkempt teacher struggling to prevent his school from shutting down.

The movie spans an important day in Steve’s life, where he faces the challenge of maintaining the school’s honor while dealing with the heavy emotional burden that comes with his profession.

In Max Porter’s acclaimed novel, Shy, the narrative delves deep into the personal worlds of the characters, particularly Steve, who is engrossed in his job, viewing it as a responsibility, and wrestling with his own mental struggles concurrently.

A strong bond develops between Steve and Shy, played by Jay Lycurgo from Heartstopper, who struggles with his turmoil of self-destructive tendencies versus a yearning for acceptance and understanding.

In the heart of the 1990s, Steve represents a fresh take on Porter’s renowned literary piece. Interestingly, Cillian, who is involved in the production process, shared that the book profoundly affected him.

Upon finishing Shy for the first time, he shared with Deadline: “Max handed me an advanced copy of the book before it was completed, and once more, it tore my heart into pieces.

I have a deep affection for such items, both as a reader and as an actor. Therefore, I was eager to collaborate with him on a project.

Additionally, Porter himself transformed his book into a screenplay, boasting an exceptional ensemble of actors such as Tracey Ullman, Simbi Ajikawo, Emily Watson, and Roger Allam.

As Barry Keoghan opens up about working with Cillian Murphy, in preparation for the much-awaited premiere of the latest Peaky Blinders movie, “The Immortal Man.

In the upcoming year, we can expect a movie that portrays the notorious Shelby clan, once known for their criminal activities, shifting into the context of the Second World War.

Concluding the beloved series, “Barry” will have a special edition with the addition of Rebecca Ferguson from “Dune,” Stephen Graham from “Adolescence,” and the series’ leading man, Cillian. This new installment is particularly exciting for fans.

In an interview with The Mirror, the actor from Saltburn shared what is required to meet Cillian’s lofty expectations.

Barry said: ‘There is no slacking for him.

Cillian doesn’t come off as threatening, but rather, he never compromises and maintains an athlete’s relentless determination. Truly, Cillian is legendary.

Barry concluded: ‘He does not say anything, but you feel it.’

On September 19, Steve will initially be shown in selected U.S. cinemas. Later, it will become available globally on Netflix starting from October 3, 2025.
