Barry Keoghan has attracted attention this year for several reasons, in particular, his whirlwind romance with singer Sabrina Carpenter, best known for her hit song «Espresso». While both were brilliantly advancing in their careers, building their successful paths, their relationship was marked by ups and downs. From co-starring in the music video «Please Please Please» of the 25-year-old performer to spending time apart, a source told People: «They are both young and focused on their careers, so they decided to take a break».
So, who is Barry Keoghan? He has been a rising star for many years with roles in films such as «Dunkirk», «The Killing of a Sacred Deer», «The Green Knight» and others. HollywoodLife presents 5 key things to know about Barry.
Barry appears in the film «The Batman» towards the end in a short but memorable scene. His name is listed as «Unseen Arkham Prisoner» in the credits, but it is clear that he is playing the Joker. In the scene, Barry starts a conversation with the Riddler after being thrown into Arkham. «One day you’re on top, the next you’re a clown», - Barry says. You don’t see his face fully, but you see that it is disfigured. The scene ends with Barry laughing in the style of the Joker, and the Riddler joining him.
Director Matt Reeves confirmed that Barry is a «proto-Joker» in his recent interview with IGN. He added that all the characters are «at their beginning» and «we have a Joker who is not yet the Joker». If there is a sequel, it seems that this scene was setting up the confrontation between the Joker and Batman.
Barry grew up in Summerhill, Dublin, Ireland. He spent years in foster homes with his brother. His mother was a drug addict who died when he was 12 years old. From ages 5 to 12, Barry was in 13 foster homes.
«I remember it, it was unpleasant», - the actor told Dionne Fanning. «It's never nice when children are taken away from their parents. We were brought… there was an office on Mountjoy Square, and you went there and waited. I remember a little toy corner downstairs and a little play area».
Barry is one of the few people in Hollywood who is part of both the DC Comics universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Irish actor plays the superhero Druig in the film «Eternals». The film was released in 2021. At the end of the credits, it is confirmed that there will be a sequel to «Eternals», but, like with «The Batman», there have been no updates on the sequel.
Barry is an amateur boxer. During an interview with Off the Ball, the actor said that he loves to «do as much boxing as possible». He incorporated his love for boxing into his training program for «Eternals». He noted that it is important not only to «look good, but also to feel good psychologically»
