We see how Cillian Murphy aka Thomas Shelby envisages his son to take over the dark side of the business, but why&#039;d he trust his anonymous son

&#8220;It&#8217;s amazing to see how he embodies his character&#8221;: Conrad Khan Praises Cillian Murphy For His Talent

The 10-year-old journey of Peaky Blinders came to an end on April 3rd, 2022.
Watching the last episode of season 6, we were both happy and sad to bid goodbye
to the vicious gang. And oh boy, the impression Cillian Murphy has made! His
attire, his lapel collar coat, and that sexy Brummie accent, we cannot help but
try to mimic him all the time. And it’s not just us who are crushing over his
charming persona; his son, Duke Shelby (Conrad Khan) is amazed to see the way he
moves and handles his work.

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Khan, who is a theatre practitioner and
student himself, talked about how Cillian Murphy would actually become Tommy on
the sets.


CONRAD ON HIS ON-SCREEN FATHER- THOMAS SHELBY AKA CILLIAN MURPHY

One thing we are in love with is Cillian Murphy’s eyes. They are so capturing
and expressive that they perfectly suit his character. Seemingly, his long-lost
son, Duke Shelby
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-a-lost-son-an-untreated-disease-and-lurking-shadows-everything-that-tommy-shelby-encountered-in-peaky-blinders-season-6-episode-4/]
aka Conrad Khan [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/conrad-khan], is not so far away
as well. His green-ish eyes are enough to beguile the audience.

Further, we see Duke Shelby as decisive and as witty as his father. In episode 5
of Peaky Blinders season 6, we see Tommy offering a cigarette to Duke. And he,
just like his father, puts the cigarette along his bottom lip. However, he
explains to Digital Spy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1XyZ0BUpWk] he does
not imitate Tommy consciously. “I think maybe, naturally, there are certain
things that I emulate about him; I might mimic just out of an instinct, but
nothing consciously.”

We also see how Cillian’s character envisages his son handling the dark side of
the business

We know that it’s because Duke made it pretty clear that he wouldn’t want to
play with the guns. But it’s kind of strange to see Tommy allowing his anonymous
son this significant part of the Shelby empire. Conrad explains, “the kind of
darkness Tommy sees in himself, he probably sees that in his son Duke. And Tommy
is having all his parameters set, so when he becomes incapable of leading his
family, he is making sure that something in place is ready.”

accordingly. As for his character, he does not know. Did you like Conrad’s
