                                According to his co-star Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy sometimes appeared to eat only "an almond every day" to achieve the famously gaunt look of J. Robert Oppenheimer. This rumor became widespread, but the real story behind Murphy's physical transformation is more complex and cautionary.
