A gold wrap has been placed around a post box outside Ballintemple Post Office in Cork near the family home of Oscar winner Cillian Murphy.
An Post decided to spruce up the traditional green post box in honour of the 47 year old actor who last Sunday scooped the Best Actor Oscar. He scooped the Oscar for his role as theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer in the film “Oppenheimer.”
Locals are already stopping to take selfies next to the post box which reads “Cillian Murphy —Best Actor Oppenheimer.”
An Post has also put a gold wrap around a post box on O’Connell Street in Dublin to mark the achievement of Element Pictures which produced “Poor Things.” The film won four Oscars including the Best Actress award for Emma Stone.
An Post said that Cillian and Element Pictures have brought gold into our lives.
