Barry Keoghan, the Oscar-nominated star known for his roles in 'The Banshees of Inisherin' and 'Saltburn', recently opened up about his tumultuous past and the joy of fatherhood. Speaking candidly in an interview with Louis Theroux, Barry revealed how he is haunted by memories of his late mother, Debbie, who tragically died from a heroin overdose. Growing up without a father figure only added to the challenges he faced, but these experiences have shaped him into the devoted father and successful actor he is today.

However, he also made it clear that his main focus remains on being the best dad he can be, amidst the tabloids and public speculation. Barry's ability to balance all these aspects of his life showcases his resilience and dedication to his family and career.

In the realm of fame, navigating personal issues can often lead to public scrutiny, but Barry Keoghan seems to be tackling it with both humor and grit. He continues to break barriers in Hollywood, proving that rising from a troubled background doesn't have to define one’s future.
