Barry Keoghan Says He “Never Trusted Love” After Growing Up In Foster Care

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the narratives of various video games, I can empathize with Barry Keoghan‘s journey in a unique way. Just like he navigated through the complexities of his real-life story, I’ve often found myself guiding characters through their own trials and tribulations.

As a fervent admirer, I’d like to share Barry Keoghan’s personal account of his journey through the foster care system and its lasting impact on his life.

The actor who received an Oscar nomination dropped by This Life of Mine with James Corden, during the filming of the upcoming Peaky Blinders project where he co-stars with Cillian Murphy. During his conversation with the ex-late night show host, he openly discussed the challenges he and his brother faced when their mother was unable to look after them due to her battles with addiction.

He explained, “When you’re young, you’re unaware of the bigger picture; there’s no sense of progression or moving from one home to another. Each new place feels like a fresh start, ‘Here it is.’ Over time, this constant change impacts you and influences your relationships with attachment and abandonment.

He shared that he’s tackled numerous aspects of it through various counselors throughout the years, emphasizing that significant life events such as becoming a parent or attending his film premieres have particularly resonated with him.

It keeps returning and taps at the door,” said the actor from The Banshees of Inisherin. “I’ve never trusted love, nor believed that someone truly wanted to know me or, for example, be a friend. I’ve always had my doubts about it. You seem to be differently programmed. You must really stay alert, be truthful and brutally honest with yourself, and work on these aspects.

Keoghan is a dad to a 2-year-old boy named Brando, who he shares with ex Alyson Sandro. Since he didn’t grow up with his own father, who wasn’t present in his life, being a parent is a new experience for him, as he doesn’t have a guide or prior knowledge to rely on. “I had no model,” he admitted.

Previously, the individual known as Saltburn shared details about his past experiences on The Louis Theroux Podcast in November. During this period, from ages 5 to 8, he and his brother moved through fourteen different foster homes, which were cared for by thirteen distinct families. At one time, he also resided with his grandmother.

Due to increased public scrutiny stemming from his high-profile relationship with Sabrina Carpenter and prominent roles in various projects, the actor has faced criticism for allegedly neglecting his paternal duties as he seldom discusses or shares pictures of his child on social media.

As my public profile has grown, I’ve shared fewer details about my child online because I believe it’s unfair to expose them to the internet. There’s a significant amount of negativity and abuse online, and without a thick skin or strong resolve, I wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing such matters publicly.
