United Kingdom, Feb. 13 -- Cillian Murphy refuses to take photos with fans.

The 47-year-old actor has become known around the world for his role as gangster Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed series 'Peaky Blinders' and has been nominated for an Oscar for his recent star turn in 'Oppenheimer' but admitted that he prefers to have a conversation with a fan if they bump into him on the street rather than pose for a selfie.

He told GQ: "Once I started doing that, it changed my life. I just think it's better to say hello, and have a little conversation. I tell that to a lot of people, you know, actor friends of mine, and they're just like: 'I feel so bad'.

"But you don't need a photo record of everywhere you've been in a day."
