A lock of hair from Oscar nominee Cillian Murphy goes on sale

A lock of hair from the successful actor Cillian Murphy, who rose to stardom with the film Oppenheimer, has gone on sale.

The hair, which was collected while he was on the set of Peaky Blinders, is expected to sell for 6 thousand pounds (approximately 238 thousand Turkish lira).

A lock of hair was taken from the famous actor by a wig maker to ensure that the wig Murphy used in the series would perfectly match his own hair. The hair sample is now being sold by Paul Fraser Collectibles for 6 thousand pounds.

Murphy, one of the strongest contenders for the 'Best Actor' award at the Oscars for his role in Oppenheimer, portrayed J. Robert Oppenheimer in the film that left its mark on this summer.

The Irish actor is among the most notable Oscar candidates after winning the 'Best Actor' award at the BAFTAs and a Golden Globe.

'A QUITE LARGE MARKET FOR HAIR'

A memorabilia expert told The Sun:

"Cillian's stock is rising and he is now a global star, especially after the BAFTAs and likely the Oscars. So, while it is a strange thing to collect, its value is likely to increase. There is actually a quite large market for the hair of famous people."
