Cillian Murphy is apparently an emotional eater.

The Oppenheimer star said he used cheese to cope with the intensity of the atomic bomb biopic, where he played enigmatic nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

During an interview with his co-stars for Peoples Oscar portfolio, Murphys on-screen wife Emily Blunt joked about how his Oppenheimer salary was just enough to pay for his substantial dairy habit.

I did eat a lot of cheese, the Irish actor admitted in the interview, which came out Wednesday. That is a true fact.

Explaining why Murphy found comfort in Brie and its brethren, Blunt said, Because he needed to decompress. Cheese is a great decompression.
