Barry Keoghan is known for his versatile characters as he explained his approach to the roles he takes.
During an interview with Hello! Magazine, the Batman star opened up about doing storylines, which he did not have much idea about.
“It’s going to affect me on a human level, but also elevate me as an actor,” he said, admitting he never understand his 2024’s Bird’s plot.
“There wasn’t a script. Still never seen a script,” adding, “I didn’t know what this movie was about until I saw it at Cannes.”
“I was like, ‘It’s about a bird though – right?’ he quipped. “And I hadn’t seen any birds in it. I was like, ‘Where the **** does this bird come in?’”
Elsewhere in the interview, he reflected on doing a naked scene in Saltuburn, saying he trusted his director Emerald Fennell despite having trust issues.
“I’ve got massive trust issues, but I remember meeting Emerald and being so excited.”
“It took a lot for me to think about, because on paper you’re like, ‘This is the role of a lifetime’. You go from that to, ‘I’m going to show so much of myself – literally. There was a lot going on – and I’d never had a leading role,” he concluded.
