Cillian Murphy Gives You 25 Sexy Reasons to Watch Peaky Blinders

There's this little show on Netflix called Peaky Blinders. Even if you don't totally love it like we do, you may have heard of it because Tom Hardy guest-starred during seasons two and three, and Adrien Brody nabbed a new role in season four. Hardy and Brody's brilliant performances aside, the real star of the show is Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, the leader of a family gang in early 1900s England. Murphy has played some creepy dudes over the years — e.g., Batman Begins's Scarecrow and the psychopath from Red Eye — but this role completely redeems him. If you're not convinced, just take a look below to see Murphy looking 25 kinds of sexy. Seriously, just a peek. Go ahead.
