The Beatles’ Ringo Starr seems to confirm Barry Keoghan will play him in biopic

As a lifelong Beatles enthusiast who has spent countless hours poring over every detail of their lives and music, I must say the casting news for Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles films is nothing short of exhilarating! The prospect of Barry Keoghan embodying Ringo Starr, one of my all-time favorite drummers, is truly a dream come true.


For several months now, intriguing whispers have been circulating regarding the actors in Sam Mendes’s forthcoming quartet of Beatles movies, and it seems that one of these rumors may hold more substance than initially thought.

I’ve got some exciting news! It seems like I might be portraying the legendary Ringo Starr in an upcoming film, as reported. If all goes according to plan, we’re looking at a simultaneous worldwide release in 2027. Can’t wait to bring this iconic role to life!

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the renowned drummer expressed his thoughts on the reports, saying, “I find it wonderful. I suspect he’s studying drums right now, and I only hope he doesn’t overdo it.

It seems that, if Starr’s information is accurate, we can confidently expect Keoghan to be included in the cast.

Regarding who else might be playing alongside him in the remaining roles of the Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison), no official announcements have been made yet. However, there’s a lot of buzz connecting well-known actors with these parts.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the upcoming Beatles biopic, and it seems that Harris Dickinson is making a strong case for playing John Lennon. In a recent chat with Dazed, he was quizzed about the role, hinting at some exciting possibilities.
