Hollyoaks Star Shocks Fans with Hollywood Transformation
Who would have thought that a Hollyoaks actor could make such a splash in Hollywood?
Guy Burnet, known for his role in Hollyoaks, has undergone a stunning Hollywood makeover after appearing in a blockbuster alongside Cillian Murphy.
Hollyoaks icon Guy Burnet has come a long way from his days on the Channel 4 show. Fans were stunned when they saw him appear in the Hollywood film, Oppenheimer, which is tipped for an Oscar next year.
The Christopher Nolan biographical thriller film includes a stellar cast of Hollywood royalty. Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, and Josh Hartnett all star in the film, with Cillian Murphy playing “father of the atomic bomb” J Robert Oppenheimer.
Guy, 39, who played charismatic Craig Dean in Hollyoaks from 2002 to 2008 portrays the role of British physicist extraordinaire, George Eltenton in the blockbuster film and fans went wild when they saw him on the big screen.
One enthusiast raved: ‘WAIT. Craig off of John Paul & Craig from Hollyoaks is in Oppenheimer?!’ Another wrote: ‘Every Tom, Dick and Harry was in Oppenheimer. Craig from Hollyoaks in the big leagues now.’ A third enthusiastic fan added: ‘Prepare to be awestruck by Oppenheimer; it’s a true masterpiece! Here’s hoping this marks the glorious Renaissance of none other than Craig from Hollyoaks.’ Whilst another wrote: ‘My highlight of Oppenheimer. IYKYK’ [if you know, you know] accompanied by a photo of Guy in character as Craig on the series.
Craig was a beloved character in the long-standing soap and played the love interest of John Paul MacQueen. He dated Sarah Barnes, but then fell for John-Paul, which caused a big argument amongst all their friends. However, Craig and John-Paul seemed to get their happy ending when they eventually left the village together for a new life in Dublin. John-Paul later returned to the village without Craig but the two still share a son, Matthew-Jesus, leaving people to believe there is still some kind of connection.
Despite the shock from fans, Oppenheimer is not the first huge Hollywood film that Guy has appeared in since he left Hollyoaks. In 2017 he starred in Pitch Perfect 3, playing Theo while also bagging roles in Dead for a Dollar, Bed Rest, and The Feed.
Since its release, Oppenheimer, which was released at the same time as Barbie has received hugely positive reviews and achieved a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
