Was Cillian Murphy actually a zombie in 28 Years Later?
Cillian Murphy is known to be chronically offline and unaware of social media trends, as well as online discussions about him. Murphy, who is credited as executive producer of 28 Years Later, shared his humorous reaction to online speculation that he played a gaunt zombie in the 2025 film during a recent interview with The Observer. People also connected it to the actor’s 28 Days Later‘s character, ‘Jim’, and thought it was the same character’s zombified version.
