How Barry Keoghan Feels About The Reactions To His Saltburn Nude Scene

As a gamer and film enthusiast who’s been following Barry Keoghan‘s career with great interest, I have to say that his recent interview about his nude scene in “Saltburn” has piqued my curiosity even more. It’s fascinating to hear him talk about the experience of shooting such a controversial scene and how he relates to the vulnerability and freedom of being naked.


For some time now, “Saltburn” has been making the rounds, giving many viewers a chance to witness Barry Keoghan’s chilling portrayal of Oliver Quick in the movie. This means that a significant number of people have seen him roam around a grand British mansion without any clothes on. So, what are Keoghan’s thoughts on audience reactions to the film’s climactic scene directed by Emerald Fennell? It’s a mixed bag, but he generally maintains a positive outlook on the situation.

As a gamer, I can relate to Keoghan when he mentions feeling free to act silly at home, like singing in the shower or dancing around naked. We all do it, even if we don’t share many other similarities with the people we’re comparing ourselves to. It’s just part of being human and enjoying the privacy of our own spaces. Of course, I don’t dance around a manor with anyone hanging about, but I do let loose and express myself through movement and music when I’m alone. It’s a small comfort in our everyday lives that we can all relate to.

In terms of dealing with public scrutiny, Keoghan wisely advises against getting too caught up in the negative comments and excessive information. “It’s harmful to your mental health to dwell on it or pay too much attention,” he explained. “However, I wouldn’t shy away from it if I wasn’t prepared for the criticism or if I didn’t welcome constructive feedback. I believe it demonstrates professional growth in one’s work, and if it contributes to the narrative and propels the story forward, then why not embrace it?”

Barry Keoghan thinks that there’s a cultural divide regarding Saltburn’s more risqué scenes

Barry Keoghan, who appeared nude in the film “Saltburn,” mentioned that he believes there could be a significant distinction between depictions of nudity in American productions contrasted to foreign ones. The team behind “Saltburn” is mainly composed of individuals from England, Ireland, and Australia.

The actor expressed his appreciation for European films, explaining that they often include nude scenes which he considers authentic art and a bold expression of vulnerability. By baring it all on screen, actors expose themselves in their most vulnerable state, creating a captivating visual experience. It’s not just about the body, but the liberating sensation of watching an uninhibited performance that flows seamlessly, much like a living painting.

As a film critic with a particular affinity for dark comedies, I’ve seen my fair share of eccentric and bizarre moments on screen. But none have left me quite as puzzled and amused as Oliver Keoghan’s naked dance in “Saltburn.”

So far, Barry Keoghan has had a short yet wildly successful career

Prior to his daring nudity in “Saltburn,” Barry Keoghan was already a prominent figure in Hollywood. His shocking naked scene in the film may have come as a surprise due to his previous successes. The Irish actor graced independent projects such as “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” (2017) and major productions like “Dunkirk,” which earned him Oscar nominations that same year. He also appeared in the hit HBO series “Chernobyl” just two years later. In 2021, Keoghan joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe with “The Eternals,” though his portrayal of Druig didn’t fare well at the box office. In 2022, he received an Oscar nod for playing Dominic Kearney in Martin McDonagh’s critically acclaimed film, “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

In 2022, I was fortunate enough to make a small yet impactful appearance as the Joker in Matt Reeves’ groundbreaking film, “The Batman.” Although my role is only acknowledged as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner,” it’s no secret to fans who they should imagine beneath the mask. As for whether or not I’ll reprise my role as the Joker in “The Batman 2,” we’ll have to wait and see. Regardless, the momentum of my acting career is undeniably surging forward, with that unforgettable scene in “Saltburn” continuing to leave a lasting impression on viewers.
