ceruseeFrom this otherwise entirely sober and professional-in-tone NYT article about Cillian Murphy, who is apparently soon to take a one-man play to a New York theater:
“There was something about [Cillian Murphy] — he was incredibly enigmatic and he would walk into a room with real presence and you’d go, ‘My God,’ ” Mr. Walsh recalled. He added, as a by-the-way: “It had nothing to do with those bloody eyes that everyone’s going on about all the time.”
(A digressive word about Mr. Murphy’s eyes, which are blue but so unusual that describing them precisely would require a thesaurus that does not yet exist. The effect is like some kind of otherworldly sea glass. They are not straightforwardly handsome, like Paul Newman’s, but mesmerizing — entire Web sites have been devoted to this point — and on film can captivate or horrify, depending on what is required. They are also really big.)
Hee. Also, so true.
