Cillian Murphy's Sudden Claustrophobia

Cillian Murphy had a bout of claustrophobia while filming new movie 'Sunshine'. The 'Red Eye' actor plays an astronaut in the sci-fi adventure but found the restrictive spacesuit he had to wear suffocating.

Cillian said: "It was not pleasant getting inside that suit. It was big, it was cumbersome, it was intensely claustrophobic and very sweaty. To move at all was one hell of an effort. And this was all during the summer heatwave of last year. It's not an experience I would want to repeat."

The 30-year-old Irish star shot to fame in '28 Days Later' in 2002, before going on to feature in a host hit films, including 'Cold Mountain' and 'Batman Begins'.

'Sunshine' also stars Australian beauty Rose Byrne and 'Fantastic Four' actor Chris Evans.
