A third said, “Cillian is so husband/boyfriend i can’t believe he's the same age as my mum.”

“Cillian murphy is my husband my wife my boyfriend my girlfriend he’s my everything,” state the fourth user.

“My media teacher started referring to Cillian Murphy as ‘your boyfriend’ as he should though honestly.”

Someone mentioned, “Oh hey now that Cillian Murphy's the internet's boyfriend, how about we all (re)watch Anthropoid?”
