Cillian Murphy has won a BAFTA in the 'Best Actor' category for his role in Oppenheimer.

The Cork man beat Dubliner Barry Keoghan for his role in Saltburn along with Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti and others.

Last night, he told us he's "a really proud Irishman".

"It means a lot to be Irish," he exclaimed, before joking "shall I sing a rebel song?"
