Oppenheimer was the fifth time Cillian and Christopher have worked together with the film star revealing the director’s personal approach to giving out his screenplays.

He flew to Ireland to hand the actor the script personally, with Cillian reading all 197 pages immediately.

Speaking to GQ Magazine, he said: ‘So, like, it’s been his mum who’s delivered the script to me before. Or his brother; he’ll go away and come back in three hours.

‘Part of it has to do with keeping the story secret before it goes out. But part of it has to do with tradition.

‘They’ve always done it this way, so why stop now? It does add a ritual to it, which I really appreciate. It suits me.’

Cillian also told how Christopher had already called him about playing J. Robert Oppenheimer in the film and he’d said yes before reading the script.

The actor also described what it’s like working with the acclaimed director, describing his sets as like an ‘intimate laboratory’.

He said:’Even though he works at a tremendous pace, there’s always room for curiosity and finding things out, and that’s what making art should be about, you know? There’s no phones—but also no announcement: everybody just knows.

‘And there’s no chairs. Because he doesn’t sit down. Sometimes a film set can be like a picnic.

‘Everyone’s got their chairs and their snacks and everyone’s texting and showing each other f*****g, you know, emojis or whatever, memes which I do know, but why?’
