Cillian Murphy is set to give viewers an eyeful on Peaky Blinders tonight – baring his bum.
Opening up about the new series, the Cork native admitted he was surprised audiences would see that much of him in the first episode.
“I wasn’t aware my bottom was going to be in the first episode that much,” he said.

The 39-year-old, who plays crime boss Thomas Shelby in the BBC drama, admitted that there’s a downside to playing the gangster, as he gets recognised everywhere he goes.
“As soon as I get my Tommy Shelby haircut, it’s game over,” he told TV & Satellite Week.
“I did a film recently in Prague. I thought I’d be able to walk along the street, but there were a lot of people who came up to me because they love the show.”

The Batman Begins star revealed he wasn’t opposed to doing his own stunts on the show – as long as he was fit enough.
“As long as I’m fit enough, there’s no reason why I can’t do my own stunts,” he smiled.
Peaky Blinders is back on BBC Two tonight at 9pm
