Hollywood actor Cillian Murphy has once again gone viral – this time as British viewers delighted in his apparently unfazed reaction to pop superstar Taylor Swift flashing her new engagement ring while other celebrities on The Graham Norton Show sofa went wild.
The viral moment occurred as host Graham Norton asked about Swift’s engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
When the pop superstar flashed a diamond ring reportedly worth between $700,000 and $1 million, viewers online instead affectionately fixated on Murphy’s expression, subject to many memes in the past, which one fan on X described simply as: “Resting bored face.”
