As the interview further progressed, Murphy revealed that he was quite happy to stop with the promotion ofOppenheimersince he was pretty tired. The actor revealed that he felt that it was a broken model and a model in which he had to be a part!

“I think it’s a broken model. The model is—everybody is so bored..Same was the case with ‘Peaky Blinders’. The first three seasons there was no advertising, a tiny show on BBC Two; it just caught fire because people talked to each other about it.”

He further continued,

“It’s like Joanne Woodward said, ‘Acting is like s*x—do it, don’t talk about it’. People always used to say to me, ‘He has reservations’ or ‘He’s a difficult interviewee.’ Not really! I love talking about work, about art. What I struggle with, and find unnecessary, and unhelpful about what I want to do, is: ‘Tell me about yourself…’”
