New Delhi: Amy Jackson’s recent pictures of her new look on her Instagram account created a lot of buzz with many comparing her to Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy. The actor has responded to all the reactions to her looks and called it 'quite sad'. 


In a conversation with The Times of India, Amy said, “I’m an actor and I take my job very seriously. For the last month, I've been filming a new project in the UK. So, for the character I am playing, I had to slim down and fully commit myself to the role. The online outcry from the (mainly male) Indian demographic is quite sad. I have worked with male co-stars who had to drastically change their look for a film, and they were highly praised for it. The moment a woman does it through unusual hair and makeup that doesn't conform to their idealism of beauty, they think they have the right to troll you." 


On being compared to Cillian Murphy, she reacted, "I’m over the moon. He’s chiselled perfection! I’ll get my flat cap and Brummie (Birmingham) accent ready for a Peaky Blinders comeback.” 






Jackson had shared a bunch of pictures from an outing with her boyfriend Ed Westwick. Amy wore a red dress with a thigh-high slit with a black tie and her prominent cheekbones, and light eyes, made netizens compare her to the Irish actor. 


A fan wrote, "Womenheimer", while another commented, "Thomas Shelby looks good in red (sic)." “Cilian murphy doppelgänger, can’t unsee this,” wrote a person. 


Amy had posted the pictures with the caption, "Might’ve been late to the LFW party but we went in&out with a bang. PERFECT magazine party - so much love to @maisonvalentino and my @valentino.beauty fam.” 






Jackson, who has worked in Akshay Kumar’s Singh is Bliing and Rajinikanth starrer 2.0, is currently dating Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick.
