That’s what winning an Oscar does for you.

And that’s surely what awaits the Irish actor on Sunday March 10.

Cillian Murphy - primed for the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of J Robert Oppenheimer

There’s an 83% likelihood Murphy’s performance in Oppenheimer will win him Best Actor at the Academy Awards. That’s according to British bookmakers. And they’re rarely wrong.

He won the British equivalent, the Baftas, on Sunday.

30 years in preparation, Cillian Murphy is about to step from the shadows.

And that’s why you should buy this astonishing item now.

Because in 19 days from now on Oscars night, interest in this extraordinary object will reach new heights.

And the worth of this object will soar.

It is this:

A substantial lock of Cillian Murphy’s hair.

An estimated £50,000-worth of Cillian Murphy's hair - available for a lot less

This lock is unique on the market. No other lock or strand of Cillian Murphy’s hair has ever been offered for sale before to our knowledge.

Murphy’s Peaky Blinders haircut started a trend for the “undercut crop”. Here you can own the hair that started the craze.

Incredible provenance

The hair comes directly from a wigmaker who has worked on several major recent films and TV programmes.

The wigmaker takes hair samples from actors to ensure the wigs exactly match their hair. 99% of TV and film stars use wigs or hair extensions on screen.

The wigmaker has written Cillian Murphy's name on the backing card

Good company

Although owning a lock of hair might sound unusual, there is actually a big market for it.

And prices are strong:

Top 10 celebrity hair lock sales

2: Elvis Presley: $115,000
3: Michael Jackson: $100,000

9: Justin Bieber: $44,000
10: Abraham Lincoln: $38,837

This lock of Cillian Murphy’s hair is yours for just £6,000 ($7,600).

I should probably have priced it higher.

Particularly when you consider the lock’s individual strands have a total retail value of around £50,000.

And that in November, a cap Murphy wore on screen in Peaky Blinders auctioned for £20,000. More than doubling its £8,000 estimate.

Once he wins the Oscar, I will probably re-evaluate the price. But there’s a strong chance I won’t own it any more.

I think this is going to sell fast.

PPS. I’ll leave you with an extract from a recent Daily Telegraph article about Murphy:

A journalist one asked Murphy how he handles fame. “It’s never been a problem for me,” he replied. “I think the boat has sailed for me in terms of becoming a celebrity. And I’m quite happy with that.”

That was in 2011. Cillian – Bafta and Oscar-winner in waiting – we’ve bad news for you. The ship has only just set off.
