Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan has slammed claims he is a 'deadbeat dad' and 'absent' in his two-year-old son's life as he hit out at social media users 'judging' him
The Oscar-nominee, 32, shares his two-year-old son Brando with ex-partner Alyson Kierans, a dentist from London. He tends to keep his son away from the spotlight, but has previously claimed people assume he's absent in his life and a "lazy" father. Barry has been open about his own childhood and the impact of his mother's death from a drug addiction.
Barry insisted his son "isn't a talking point" because he doesn't "give the internet what they want". The actor believes it isn't his place to share photos of Brando "in this day and age" with how "sick" the internet can be. "People are so feckin' quick to judge," he told Hunger magazine. However, the pair split in July 2023 after two and a half years together. Following their split, Barry has been in a high-profile romance with singer Sabrina Carpenter. He recently addressed the claims about his parenting while on Spotify’s The Louis Theroux Podcast. He said: "If I didn’t have tough skin or the strength to have, I wouldn’t be sitting here. Of course, going to affect me being a father when I had no blueprint to take from.
