The internet has discovered what many fans are calling the closest thing to a real-life copy-and-paste in Hollywood. Aran Murphy, the 19-year-old son of Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy, is generating massive attention online after a recent red carpet interview went viral, with viewers stunned by just how much he resembles his famous father.
Within hours of being shared across social media platforms, clips of Aran speaking with presenter Jodie McCallum at the premiere of HBO’s upcoming comedy-drama Youth accumulated millions of views.
While many viewers were interested in hearing about the young actor’s rising career, the conversation quickly shifted to something else entirely: the uncanny similarities between Aran and the Oppenheimer star.
