Cillian Murphy's intense commitment to playing the lead role in "Oppenheimer" has won high praise from his co-star, Robert Downey Jr.

"I have never witnessed a greater sacrifice by a lead actor in my career," Downey Jr. told People magazine in a story published Sunday.

The Iron Man star said Murphy was willing to go to extreme lengths just to get the role right.

"We'd be like, 'Hey, we got a three-day weekend. Maybe we'll go antiquing in Santa Fe. What are you going to do?' 'Oh, I have to learn 30,000 words of Dutch. Have a nice time.' But that's the nature of the ask," Downey Jr. said.
