It’s actually weird how much Cillian Murphy and Tyler Glasnow look alike (Picture: Getty Images)
Cillian Murphy fans are losing their minds over a photo of baseballer Tyler Glasnow.
In it, the 29-year-old pitcher looks the absolute spitting image of the 47-year-old Peaky Blinders actor.
The likeness is truly eerie, and fans thought so too as they took to the comments section of the action shot to express their disbelief.
‘That’s Cillian Murphy. You can’t tell me any different,’ wrote one stunned fan, while another said: ‘That’s just Cillian Murphy promoting his next bio-pic.’
‘I legit thought this was Cillian Murphy for a second and was curious what baseball movie he was going to be in,’ commented another.
Another chimed in and said: ‘Absolutely stunned by the fact this is NOT Cillian Murphy.’

Meanwhile, a separate user – seemingly overcome with disbelief – wrote: ‘THAT’S NOT CILLIAN MURPHY ??????’
The bizarre snap was posted as Tyler’s team, the Tampa Bay Rays, took to the field against the Texas Rangers yesterday, and it has since gone viral.
This comes after the 28 Days Later star said he worries about ‘underwhelming’ his fans for not being anything like his Birmingham gang leader Peaky Blinders character, Tommy Shelby.

The star became in instant heartthrob when he took up the role of the charismatic gang leader in the popular BBC drama from 2013 to 2022.
Speaking to Rolling Stone UK last month, he said: ‘I think it’s the Tommy Shelby thing. People expect this mysterious, swaggering… it’s just a character. I do feel people are a little bit underwhelmed.’
He added: ‘That’s fine, it means I’m doing my job. Peaky fans are amazing. But sometimes I feel a little sad that I can’t provide — like — that charisma and swagger.’
‘He couldn’t be further from me.’
That’s okay Cillian, because – besides the fact you are, of course, enough just as you are – you’ve now got your very own sporting doppelganger!
