Dive into Cillian Murphy's €1.7M mansion and his heart with Yvonne McGuinness

Cillian Murphy, internationally adored for his portrayal of Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders, isn't just a gang leader on-screen. Off-camera, this star lit up his Victorian-style Dublin townhouse, a sweet retreat after 14 hectic years in London. The actor's monumental move back home wasn't just for the tranquility of the Irish landscapes. A significant push came from his heart's desire: his accomplished wife, Yvonne McGuinness, and their two treasures, Malachy and Aran.

The couple, who entwined destinies back in 2004, have consistently kept their love life out of the flashing lights, but not without leaving traces of their profound bond. Yvonne, an illustrious visual artist herself, remains Cillian's silent muse and rock.

The €1.7M love nest & career highs

In 2017, Murphy displayed his taste for opulence, splurging a whopping €1.7 million on a Dublin gem in the coveted Monkstown precinct. “I don’t miss London,” he reflected, emphasizing his contentment with the Emerald Isle's serene environment and fewer headcounts.

Tracing Murphy's evolution, it's intriguing to remember his law days at University College Cork. Before he became the face we know and love today, his soul resonated with music. The pivotal turn came with the hit, 28 Days Later, cementing his Hollywood presence. But what's a hero without some shades of grey? His sinister roles in movies like Batman Begins and Red Eye had audiences hooked, even though he openly admitted, “I’ve never even been in a fight.”

So, as we nostalgically saunter through Cillian's starry escapades and his heartwarming Dublin chronicles, let's not forget the magnetic Yvonne McGuinness, the unsung melody in his harmonious life.
