Squarespace, a company that specializes in website design and hosting, has unveiled an advertisement set to be shown during the 2025 Super Bowl. Entitled “A Saga as Timeless as Websites,” it showcases actor Barry Keoghan traversing rural Ireland on a donkey, shouting “Squarespace” while seemingly tossing laptops like newspapers to the townsfolk – farmers, blacksmiths, and tavern keepers. The ad concludes with him riding his donkey off a cliff, transforming into an extraordinary scene of a levitating mule, all while the text “A website brings it to life” appears. A longer version on YouTube, titled “Barry and Mosley,” connects to the Super Bowl commercial and depicts Keoghan creating a website for his equine co-star, Don Mosley.
Barry Keoghan may not be commonly recognized by everyone, but if you’ve been following films over the last ten years, you’ve likely seen him before. At 32 years old, the Irish actor has graced both independent film winners and blockbuster franchises, earning an Oscar nomination along the way. If you’re curious about his personal life, take a look at Looper’s article on Barry Keoghan’s real-life story for more details. Here are some highlights of this up-and-coming talent’s notable past and upcoming roles.
Movies you’ve seen Barry Keoghan in
2011 marked the beginning of Barry Keoghan’s acting career, with his first role in the crime film “Between the Canals.” However, it was in 2017 when his career truly took flight. He portrayed the heroic civilian George Mills in Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” and the enigmatic Martin Lang in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Killing of a Sacred Deer.” These two contrasting characters highlight Keoghan’s versatility, demonstrating his ability to convincingly play both innocent and malevolent characters.
In Keoghan’s Oscar-nominated role as the jovial character Dominic Kearney in Martin McDonagh’s 2022 film “The Banshees of Inisherin,” he delivers an innocent portrayal. This movie serves as a significant inspiration for the Squarespace ads, even though another donkey was needed due to Jenny, Keoghan’s co-star in “Banshees,” being unavailable because she is fully booked.
Keoghan has played soldiers in two TV miniseries: Soviet conscript Pavel Gremov in HBO’s “Chernobyl” and American pilot Lt. Curtis Biddick in Apple TV+’s “Masters of the Air.” But most ofthe actor’s other big roles have leaned into his ability to play things creepy. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, his “Eternals” character, Druig, is technically a hero, but one whose mind-control powers are decidedly unnerving. Keoghan’s cameo in “The Batman” is credited as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner,” but come on — everyone knows he’s The Joker. Thirsty fans got to see ALL of Keoghan in Emerald Fennell’s 2023 drama “Saltburn,” where he memorably terrorized a wealthy family as scheming student Oliver Quick.
Barry Keoghan’s latest and upcoming projects
Over the past year, Barry Keoghan took on several notable roles. He played Lt. Curtis Biddick in the Apple TV+ miniseries “Masters of the Air,” and also starred in two movies: “Bird” directed by Andrea Arnold and “Bring Them Down” directed by Christopher Andrews. “Bird,” now available on MUBI, showcases one of Keoghan’s intricate characters – Bug, an irresponsible drug dealer who is a single father. On the other hand, “Bring Them Down,” set to open in theaters on February 7 after its premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, showcases a fierce rivalry between Keoghan’s character Jack and Christopher Abbott’s Michael in a gritty revenge drama.
In the upcoming days, Keoghan will make his appearance in “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” an intriguing new movie helmed by Trey Edward Shults. This film also stars Jenna Ortega and Abel Tesfaye (known as The Weeknd), and is set to hit theaters on May 16. Additionally, you can catch Keoghan in “The Immortal Man,” a sequel to “Peaky Blinders,” as well as in “Crime 101,” a film adaptation of Don Winslow’s novella of the same name, which features Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo alongside him.
