Cillian Murphy in heels: Learn when you're drunk
Jessica Winter talks to yer man Cillian Murphy about the demands of Breakfast on Pluto in the VOICE: "The voice was the thing for me, and her physicality. I didn't want to be butch; I wanted to be as beautiful and feminine as possible. We've seen the whole tough-transvestite thing before, and I wanted her to have a softness, a vulnerability. I wanted her to be a real girl."
Of co-writer-director Neil Jordan, Murphy says, "We never had enough money, never enough time, never enough light, and yet Neil would always somehow get that perfect composition or that perfect tracking shot." Winter confesses to Murphy that she can't walk in high heels. "Oh, you just need that confidence to go for it and fall down as much as you need to. I hung out with these transvestites in London, and their advice was, 'Learn when you're drunk,' so I did."
