Barry Keoghan Confesses He Doesn't Have "Normal" Relationship With Son

As an ardent admirer of Barry Keoghan, it’s truly astounding to witness the depth and complexity that his life experiences have woven into his artistry. His unconventional journey, marked by a tumultuous childhood and a unique family dynamic, has undeniably shaped him into an exceptionally nuanced actor.


Life doesn’t exactly imitate art for Barry Keoghan.

Saltburn openly discussed how his unique parenting situation with his 2-year-old son Brando (who he co-parents with Alyson Kierans) sometimes made it challenging for him to rely on his own experiences when getting ready to play a father role in his latest drama, Bird.

Keoghan, aged 31, shared in an interview with Entertainment Weekly (September 12) that he didn’t grow up with a father figure, which makes his relationship with his son different from the typical father-son bond. Since he lacks personal experience to draw upon for this relationship, it is not quite like the usual one. However, love, being pure and universal, is not an issue, but rather, it’s about the smaller details, such as teaching your son or daughter specific things.

In terms of assuming his role, this Academy Award-nominated actor, who made their relationship with Sabrina Carpenter official in February 2024, opted for an unconventional method when preparing for character development.

At the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, I shared with Francesca Amiker from TopMob News that my on-screen relationship felt more akin to brother and sister. In truth, I portrayed it as such, and I believe there are modern fathers who share a bond similar to that of siblings with their children.

As a lifestyle guide, I’d like to share a personal aspect of my life that has shaped my perspective significantly. Back in 2018, I opened up about my challenging childhood. My brother Eric and I found ourselves moving between 13 diverse foster homes while our mother, who tragically passed away when I was just 12, struggled with drug addiction. This journey taught me resilience, empathy, and an unwavering appreciation for the love and support that can come from unexpected places.

He mentioned on “The Late Late Show” in Ireland that every family was kind to us. As a child, you’re unaware of the bigger picture. You form bonds and then, suddenly, it’s time to move somewhere else… I don’t really have a hometown, I guess that’s my point.

Regarding his approach towards romantic love, it’s clear that Keoghan has been nothing but supportive of Carpenter during their relationship. In fact, the actor recently expressed enthusiasm for Carpenter when she unveiled her album “Short ‘N Sweet”.

In a post on his Instagram Story dated August 29th, Keoghan shared a link for streaming the record, and casually mentioned, “My favorite one, BED CHEM, I’m just saying it to you, my dear.
