Despite the memes and speculation, British news outlet The Guardian reported on Wednesday (Dec 11) that the zombie in question isn’t Murphy and is, in fact, played by a model named Angus Neill.
Neill, who is also an art dealer, told The Guardian that he was spotted by the movie’s director Danny Boyle.
“Danny told me he’d always had me in mind for the role,” said Neill. “So we met up, hit it off, and I agreed to take part.
“On set, he has an extraordinary ability to hypnotise you, and working with him on the film was a very, very intense experience.”
