18 Jul
Summary
- Cillian Murphy felt 'Relief of Missing Out' on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
- He prefers watching Nolan's films without seeing his own performance.
- The Odyssey is a mythological epic released on July 17.
Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy has no regrets about not participating in Christopher Nolan's recent film, The Odyssey. Murphy described his feeling as 'ROMO,' or the Relief of Missing Out, preferring to experience Nolan's work as an audience member.
During an appearance in September 2025, Murphy explained that viewing Nolan's films without the "terrible burden of looking at my own stupid head" is a "gift." This sentiment stems from a long-standing collaboration with Nolan, beginning with "Batman Begins" in 2005 and most recently culminating in the acclaimed "Oppenheimer."
The mythological epic, "The Odyssey," directed by Christopher Nolan, was released in theaters on July 17. It stars Matt Damon as Odysseus and achieved a significant opening day in India, grossing Rs 20.76 crore. The film depicts Odysseus's decade-long journey home after the fall of Troy.
