Actor Cillian Murphy has admitted that he was reeling while filming 'Peaky Blinders' for its upcoming Season 6 without his late and magnificent co-star and friend Helen McCrory, who died due to breast cancer on April 16, 2021. 

Cillian Murphy, 45, playing the role of Tommy Shelby in the BBC crime drama series, opened up and spoke about his close relationship with his co-star, Helen McCrory. Helen was playing the role of Aunt Polly since the show's conception in 2013. He said, "I've never lost anyone like that, who was young and a friend. It was very confusing. But she was magnificent. She was an absolutely magnificent person. We were just reeling through the whole thing. She was a dear, dear pal and she was the beating heart of that show, so it felt very strange being on set without her."
