The actor shares his son, Brando with his former partner, Alyson Kierans.Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Barry opened up about his his difficult childhood, which saw him grow up in foster care and his mother die after struggling with drug addiction.“If I didn’t have tough skin or the strength to have, I wouldn’t be sitting here,” he admitted.Continuing on he said: “People just read that laziness and go, ‘Oh, that’s no excuse to be an absent father.’ I’m not an absent father.
Barry went on to say that since he’s refrained from sharing his son on social media, people have made up a narrative about how he’s a “deadbeat” dad.“I’m just trying to make a living, trying to get a good body of work and create safety for my child.”
