Cillian Murphy was nearly a Cork Batman... it's The Dredge
EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt – from the top to the very bottom.
#DOWTCHA BOY: Cillian Murphy was almost Batman instead of Christian Bale. Yes, Cork nearly had its very own Batman. To call our own, like.
He was so close to becoming the Caped Crusader during the casting process for Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins that they let him try on the Batsuit. What was it like?
According to 28 Days Later director Danny Boyle, Murphy was down to the last two in casting the movie – in which he eventually played The Scarecrow.
Murphy says he’s blacked out the casting process, saying: “Weirdly, I can’t even remember doing that screen test. Maybe it was too overwhelming.” (The Times via ONTD)
#NIALL SCORAN: Niall Horan is the best kisser in One Direction. Yes, even better than Harry Styles.
That’s according to Louis Tomlinson, who (presumably) added fuel to the fire of his fans’ fantasies by rating his bandmates’ shifting skill. “Niall’s the best kisser in the band,” he said.
Horan is also a “secret ladies’ man”, his bandmates said. Liam Payne concluded:
G’wan the lad from Mullingar. (EntertainmentWise)

#OFF ON ONE: Lee Ryan from Blue went on a mad Twitter rant and predicted the apocalypse. Why? Well, it’s to do with badgers. Yes, badgers.
A little context: the UK government has organised a cull of the badger population in some areas in an attempt to control tuberculosis in cattle. Lee Ryan from Blue is not happy.
So now.
And the rest of the day’s dirt…
Yesterday’s Dredge: ‘Brezanna’ is now officially a thing>
