Cillian Murphy’s lookalike son Aran follows his father’s footsteps with HBO debut

Cillian Murphy’s eldest son, Aran, is ready to embark on the journey of acting and make his way into the buzzing world of Hollywood.

The 17-year-old’s talent agency took to Instagram to share a photo of the teenager, announcing that he has landed a role in the forthcoming HBO series.

His agency confirmed that Aran, who bears a striking resemblance to his father, has joined the cast of WAR, an upcoming HBO and Sky co-production that will also feature actors Dominic West and Sienna Miller.

“We are thrilled to announce that Aran Murphy has joined the cast of WAR, the upcoming HBO and Sky co-production. Aran will star as Gabriel in the gripping new series lead by Dominic West and Sienna Miller,” the caption read.

For the unversed, Aran has starred in the 2022 movie Lola and is set to appear in Taika Waititi’s upcoming Klara and the Sun with Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams.

However, this will mark his first major film television role.

It is worth noting that Cillian Murphy shares sons, Aran and Malachy, with his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, whom he married in 2004.
