Shirtless Cillian Murphy showcased his physique as he joined silver-haired Daniel Craig for filming in Greece.
The Peaky Blinders and James Bond actors are currently filming Damien Chazelle’s as yet unnamed upcoming American prison drama in the Peloponnese, Greece.
Cillian, 49, showed off his chiselled abs as he went shirtless while filming intense scenes knee-deep in the sea beside a dramatic shipwreck on Friday.
The Irish actor was seen jumping across rocks in the sea while wearing a pair of baggy denim jeans and sandals, also spotted wearing a blue shirt.
Nearby, Daniel, 58, cut a contrasting figure as he was smartly dressed in a white shirt with a navy pinstripe suit and carrying a brown leather shoulder bag.
Daniel – whose silver locks were on display – perched on a wooden box while watching Cillian’s character in action.
Extras were also seen carrying out manual labour along the shoreline, adding to the gritty atmosphere.
While the prison drama’s plot line and name are being kept firmly under wraps for now, a short synopsis has been released.
According to World Of Steel, it reads: ‘A prison warden (Craig) attempts to discipline a defiant inmate (Murphy) within a brutal correctional system.
‘As tensions rise, their relationship evolves into a psychological duel. [Michelle] Williams portrays the warden’s wife. Mia Threapleton plays the inmate’s girlfriend.’
According to industry reports, filming is expected to continue into May, when production will then move to greater Athens before wrapping up in Corfu.
There is currently no release date and the full cast lineup is yet to be announced, though Greek outlet iefimerida has reported Michelle Williams has signed up.
Last month, Cillian reunited with his Peaky Blinders co-stars in New York for the premiere of its long awaited feature length instalment, The Immortal Man.
Having reprised his role as Brummie gangster Tommy Shelby, Cillian claimed the spotlight outside the city’s DGA Theater, where he was joined by new cast members Barry Keoghan and Rebecca Ferguson.
The Academy Award-winning actor opted for a black two-piece suit from Giorgio Made To Measure while greeting onlookers ahead of the film’s latest screening.
Rounding off his red carpet look with a black dress shirt and spotted tie, Murphy, 49, looked appropriately dapper as he made his way inside the West 57th Street venue.
Accompanying his co-star, Keoghan – who takes a starring role as Erasmus ‘Duke’ Shelby in The Immortal Man – caught the eye in a smart pinstripe suit.
Currently playing Ringo Starr in an ambitious four film anthology about The Beatles, the Irish actor, 33, still modelled the legendary drummer’s shaggy mop-top during his latest public appearance.
The hit show formerly ran across 36 episodes over six series before it was announced it would return in movie format, with a spin-off series also in the works.
It’s been a long wait for fans of the franchise, with show creator Steven Knight first teasing the release of a film back in 2021, before it was confirmed last year.
The film will pick up four years after viewers last said goodbye to the Shelby clan in the series finale of Peaky Blinders.
Tommy, who has been played by Murphy since the show’s debut in 2013, will be driven back to Birmingham from his self-imposed exile in the movie.
