During a 2009 interview with Metro UK, "Peaky Blinders" actor Cillian Murphy spoke about the ways his intense roles have impacted his marriage to Yvonne McGuinness. "If you talk to my wife about how I am during different films, she says she can see a marked difference. Obviously, when I come home in the evening, I do switch off and put the bins out but it seeps in there by osmosis. I'm sure I've been an a**hole. It's a difficult thing living with an actor," he said.
However, Murphy also explained that his location and quiet life off-camera is beneficial, telling Metro, "I live quite a quiet life with my wife in London. I love living there and no one ever comes up to me. I don't go to parties or openings, so you don't tend to end up in the paper. I'm just the guy who sits on the train and stares at people because I'm interested in idiosyncrasies, mannerisms and character things."
As for McGuinness' career, she's a visual artist "working with place, time, and community," according to her official website. In 2019, she created a performance event called "Before the Last Sun Sets" that was staged in a park in Ireland. Per her Vimeo account, McGuiness' work "encompasses performance, video, photography, sewing, writing, sculpture, and context-specific installations."
