Barry Keoghan Is Joining the Cast of the New ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie: Everything We Know
10 days ago
If you’ve spent any time on the internet over the last year, then you’ve probably heard of Barry Keoghan. Whether it be for his semi-unsettling performance in Saltburn (2023) or for his connection to rising pop-star Sabrina Carpenter, he’s a name we’ve seen circulating quite a lot in the last several months.
While his career began years prior (perhaps you’ve seen him in some of his other notable films, such as The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), Dunkirk (2017), The Banshees of Inisherin (2022) or even Marvel’s Eternals in 2021), it seems as though these days, he’s all anyone can talk about — and as far as his career goes, his resume is only building.
It was recently announced that the 31-year-old actor would be joining the cast of the Peaky Blinders feature film, with a cast that is also set to include the lead actor in the original Peaky Blinders series, Cillian Murphy, as well as actress Rebecca Ferguson.
