In an interview on March 1 with Amelia Dimoldenberg at a luncheon for Oscar nominees, singer Billie Eilish talked about the reason why she had to break up with her boyfriend.

Chicken Shop Date host Dimoldenberg (30) asked Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell if Cillian Murphy was the inspiration behind their 2016 song Ocean Eyes .

ADVERTISEMENTSinger/songwriter and music producer Finneas O’Connell (26 years old) joked that he “probably” wrote the song about Murphy because he admired the actor’s “eyes” when he played in the movie Dunkirk . Afterwards, singer Bad Guy (22 years old) admitted: “However, Batman is the one I like.”

Dimoldenberg asked Billie Eilish if her favorite Christian Bale superhero Batman was the only one, and she replied: “I don’t really know much about superheroes. To be honest a few years ago, I dreamed about Christian Bale at a small, sunny cafe. That made me realize that I had to break up with my boyfriend.”

Finneas laughed at his sister’s comment and Dimoldenberg gasped in shock.

“I woke up and was awake,” she said when the host asked further, “It’s over.”
