Golden boy! Barry Keoghan may not yet be a household name, but the Irish actor has certainly hit the big time with his Academy Award-nominated role in The Banshees of Inisherin.
Keoghan stars alongside Colin Farrell in the critically-acclaimed film, which received nine nominations — including Best Picture — at the 2023 Oscars.

Banshees is far from the only time the Dunkirk actor starred alongside Farrell on the big screen — Keoghan scored his breakout role in 2017’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer, alongside the Phone Booth star and Nicole Kidman. He and Farrell also both had critical, villainous roles in 2022’s The Batman, with the Minority Report star portraying The Penguin and Keoghan revealing himself to be the Joker at the end of the film.
“It was intimidating,” Keoghan told the New York Times in 2022 about stepping into the Joker’s clown shoes for the Robert Pattinson-led film, while noting that the old adage, “stay true to yourself,” helped him feel comfortable with what he could bring to the table.
“I’m a big believer that if I’m myself, whatever I do is going to be completely fresh and unique,” he shared, adding that he has a “totally fresh way” of portraying the infamous character.
As for his very different role in Banshees — which also earned him Golden Globe and SAG Awards nominations — the Eternals star told Collider in
