BARRY

It’s taken Barry Keoghan a little time to discover
why hibernation is necessary for his art. But with
rumours of up to seven on-screen projects in
the pipeline—two of which include the highly
anticipated Peaky Blinders film adaptation and
unconfirmed speculation about Sam Mendes’
biopic saga on the life of The Beatles—his happy
place has become the outdoors. It’s where he
can play his most transformative role to date:
shedding the veneer of becoming someone
else.

Covering our Spring 2025 issue, he lets us into
his fortress of solitude to chat the catharsis of
taking a step back, working with children’s
charity Barretstown and treating each movie he
undertakes like a family.
