Irish actor Cillian Murphy will join his college friend, RTÉ Radio 1's Cathal Murray on The Weekend on One.
The duo became friends after meeting in University College Cork's Drama Society about which Murray teased Murphy: "I got all I wanted out of it - but you had to take it too far!"
Murphy’s new film Broken, which tells the story of a girl in North London whose life is changed after witnessing a violent attack, opens in Irish cinemas on March 8.
The film, loosely based on the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, also stars Tim Roth. Murphy described working with Roth as: "Amazing, he's been a hero of mine for along long time, he's a brilliant man, just great craic."
He added: "The real star of the film is Elois Laurence, who was just 12 when it was shot, she's just absolutely heartbreaking in the film, it's a wonderful performance."
Music fan Cillian will be treating Radio 1 listeners to some of his favourite music past and present. Speaking about music he says: "It’s so accessible now, you can find such interesting and unusual music, whereas before I remember going to Cork library to rent out tapes!"
Listen to Cillian Murphy on The Weekend on One with Cathal Murray this Sunday morning from 6am to 8am on RTÉ Radio 1.
