Barry Keoghan opens up on addiction battles and reveals rehab stint
Barry Keoghan has opened up on his battle with addiction for the first time – and revealed he attended a rehab clinic in England to get help. The Dublin actor's profile has gone stratospheric in recent years, from an Oscar nomination and the lead turn in the cult smash Saltburn in 2023, to spending most of 2024 in a relationship with one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Sabrina Carpenter. However, during a recent trip back to his hometown, the 32-year-old spoke of the private struggles behind his success for the first time. Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter.

'Niall literally drove me and put me on a plane himself, came with me and brought me to the rehab in England,' Keoghan said. The BAFTA-winning actor lost his mother to drug addiction when he was just 12, and revealed he had also 'lost two uncles and a cousin to drugs'. 'That should be enough to go, 'OK, if I dabble here, I'm f***ed,'' he said. 'But your curiosity is a powerful thing. Sometimes it's beneficial and sometimes it's detrimental. For me, it was detrimental.' Barry Keoghan.

'You go to LA, you go to Hollywood, wherever the big scene is. There's an enormous amount of pressure, and a different lifestyle that is good and bad for you. 'You're around the scene. You just happen to be the one that ends up doing it.' Showing interviewer Greg Williams marks on his arm from injuries incurred while high, Keoghan said he has 'scars here to literally prove it'. 'They're a result of using.' But the star insists he is 'at peace now, and responsible for everything that I do'. Barry Keoghan with son Brando. Pic: Instagram/Barry Keoghan. 'I'm accepting. I'm present. I'm content. I'm a father. I'm getting to just see that haze that was once there – it's just a bit sharper now and colourful.' The acclaimed actor did not reveal the specifics of his addiction, but revealed he has since gone back to visit the rehab facility in sobriety. 'It was nice to see the staff again, and for them to see the change in me,' he said. 'They were quite emotional about it. I'm forever grateful. 'When I say that [his driver] Niall is the best, I mean it, because no one else put me on the plane, by the hand, literally got on the plane with me.' Elsewhere, Keoghan revealed he has a trusted confidant in Banshees co-star Colin Farrell, a fellow Dubliner in recovery from substance issues who has 'always been there' for the younger star. 'Even now, through the tough times and good times. And so has Cillian [Murphy – with whom he starred in Dunkirk]'. Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan.

He was eventually caught and barred but recalls the day he came back for the Dunkirk premiere and had to explain he was now a Hollywood actor. 'They were like, 'You're not allowed in.' I said, 'It's my movie, though.' They were like, 'No, no. You're not allowed in.' It was a whole thing. It was just a turning point for me.' The ambitious actor, and now producer, spoke at length about his excitement at being cast as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes's upcoming four-part Beatles biopic, which also stars Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney. He said he is growing his hair out for the role and has been learning the drums for five months. Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan and Harris Dickinson. Pic:'I've got a lot of similarities to Ringo,' he said. 'You know, his story is absolutely beautiful. I felt he was always an outsider trying to get in, even with the lads. I can resonate with that. He always wanted approval, and – almost – to be loved. 'It's heartbreaking, the script that I read. It's gorgeous.' Describing the moment he, Mescal, Harris Dickinson (who will play John Lennon) and Joseph Quinn (who will play George Harrison) were officially presented to the world, Keoghan recalls: 'We all had a moment backstage and it was so, so beautiful. 'It was such an exciting thing, to step out and be announced as The Beatles.' Keoghan said that, growing up without a father, he looked to movie stars for guidance on being a man. Barry Keoghan. Pic:'I'd watch these movies at my nannie's at night-time like Cool Hand Luke and Marlon Brando movies. 'That was my way of learning behaviour from men. Because I didn't have a father figure. I was looking at these men, and how they behaved. I was very fixated on how they just moved and had composure. 'I didn't have someone in the house showing me how to shave, or saying, 'Don't punch someone in the balls'.' The actor said his uncle Alan 'was very present for us for a good few years', but tragically also lost his life to heroin, aged just 40. During the interview, Keoghan returns to the shop where he saw an ad for inexperienced local actors that led to his first break, the low-budget crime drama Between The Canals, which came out in 2011. Director Mark O'Connor previously told 'Barry was a kid and he was ringing me for three years every couple of weeks saying 'Here, are you doing that film?' When O'Connor cast him in his next two films, Keoghan was noticed and cast in Love/Hate, from where his star continued to soar. Visiting the bedroom he slept in before it all began in his grandmother's flat, Keoghan said he would 'always leave that window open, because I loved the noise of all the fighting outside, and all the windows going through, and the f***ing arguments you hear. That, for me, would be peaceful. 'I remember being kids here and hearing my mum scream through the letterbox, asking for us, while she's battling addiction, while she's looking for money to score. And we were just told to stay in bed. We weren't to go down and hug her.' As his interviewer becomes emotional at the image, Keoghan says he is 'not in denial anymore'. 'I understand that I do have an addiction, and I am an addict. You know, when you accept that, you finally can move on, and learn to work with it.' He will soon star in the upcoming Hurry Up Tomorrow alongside Jenna Ortega and Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye. And his extraordinary portrayals onscreen could be about to get even more memorable, if he is true to his work. 'Now that I'm in a healthy place I can constructively go to places, creatively and artistically, in a way that I couldn't before,' he said. 'I always say the only person that stands in my way – and this is for everything, not only acting or performances – is myself, when self-doubt creeps in. 'I put my own obstacles in place. No one else is responsible for me achieving or getting to a place of contentedness or success. The only person that is responsible for that is me, and I've learned that in the course of sobriety.'

Zendaya Reached Out To Anna Sawai After Matching At The 2025 Met Gala
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 05: Zendaya attends the 2025 Met Gala Celebrating 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' on May 05, 2025 in New York City. (Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Zendaya and Anna Sawai generated many a fashion headline last week when they both appeared at the 2025 Met Gala in near-identical outfits. While Zendaya appeared at the event in a sleek white suit and wide-brimmed hat ensemble by Louis Vuitton, first-time Met attendee Sawai made her appearance not long after in an uncannily similar look by Christian Dior. Cameras captured Law Roach—Zendaya's stylist and frequent collaborator—reacting to Sawai's entrance in real time at the gala. 'I am dying 'cause she's got on Zendaya's look,' he said to an interviewer. 'I'm so glad we came early.' A week later, Roach revealed that there was no ill will on either side and provided some insight into the inspiration behind both looks.

(Photo by Jason Howard/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) 'I think people thought there was some kind of disappointment on our end,' said the stylist. 'It was two people paying homage to two different people: Yoko [Ono] being Anna's inspiration and Diana [Ross] and Bianca [Jagger] being ours.' He went on to express disappointment at the two women being pitted against each other by some commentators. 'It just happened,' he noted. 'They both looked great, and they're both beautiful women. I mean, I hate the way that people try to pin women or stylists [against each other]. It was just all great.'

(Photo byfor The Met Museum/Vogue) Zendaya hasn't commented on the accidental twinning. However, Roach confirmed that she sent flowers to Sawai to congratulate her on her first Met. Sawai was just as gracious about the matter, taking to her Instagram stories to playfully comment, 'Celebrating the spirit of Black dandyism and Zendaya.' She later added in a post, 'I know a lot of people have a lot to say, and trust me, I admire her too 🤣🤍 But most importantly, I'm so happy with my look, so please be happy for me too.'

With Zendaya's fit and flare pants as well as the addition of a vest, different from Sawai's wide-legged trousers and white gloves, fans are sure to appreciate the ingredients that went into creating two equally chic end results. topics: Zendaya, law roach, anna sawai, Met Gala, Met Gala 2025, celebrity, fashion, celebrity news, celebrity fashion, Red Carpet, Trending

Zendaya's Stylist, Law Roach, Looked Seriously Uncomfortable When He Realized That She And Anna Sawai Had Very Similar Met Gala Looks
As you probably know, the Met Gala is widely considered to be one of the biggest nights in fashion, with A-list celebrities often going all out to meet the theme and accompanying dress code, which changes every year. Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images This year's Met Gala took place on Monday night, and the celebs were out in force for the 'Tailored for You' dress code in association with the Met's Superfine: Tailoring Black Style theme. And while not every attendee hits the mark with their outfit choices, one guest who regularly delivers is Zendaya, who you can always depend on to serve a Best Dressed look. Savion Washington / Getty Images Of course, Monday was no exception, and Zendaya wowed fans when she stepped onto the blue carpet in a white custom Louis Vuitton suit and hat, which seemingly paid homage to Diana Ross's look in the 1975 movie Mahogany.

This year marked Anna's first time at the Met, and she looked sensational in a white Dior suit, with a collared shirt and — you guessed it — matching hat.

Taylor Hill / Getty Images As always, Law styled Zendaya for this year's Met, and he couldn't hide his discomfort when he saw that Anna was also wearing a tailored white suit and hat. Law was speaking to the outlet Hello Beautiful when Anna arrived, and appeared distracted after they asked him: 'Who helped you tailor your sense of style growing up?' Hello Beautiful / Via 'You know what, I really got it from the church, my grandmother and my grandfather really did…' Law began before trailing off and laughing to himself as he noted: 'I am dying coz she got on Zendaya's look.' Hello Beautiful / Via 'I'm so glad we came early,' he then added while looking visibly awkward and at a loss for words, with the video abruptly ending. Needless to say, fans were excited to see Law's response in real time, and they understood his disappointment in the moment. Commenting on the video, one person wrote: '😭😂 he pissed about his baby.' Another added: 'He don't play about zendaya 😂' While somebody else observed: 'couldn't even finish his thought 😭' You can watch the video below — let me know your thoughts in the comments!

After Attending The Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter And Jenna Ortega's Afterparty Looks Have Everyone Obsessed
The 2025 Met Gala happened last night, with the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller's 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The theme was also reflected in the dress code, "Tailored for You," which encouraged guests to interpret the concept of dandyism and tailoring in their outfits this year. Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum / Vogue The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit that is tied to this year's Met Gala will organize "12 sections, each representing a characteristic that defines dandy style: Ownership, Presence, Distinction, Disguise, Freedom, Champion, Respectability, Jook, Heritage, Beauty, Cool, and Cosmopolitanism," according to Vogue. There were so many great looks at this year's gala — from women rocking incredible suits to some of the men showing up in stellar outfits (and leaving the plain, back suits behind) to just some jaw-dropping red carpet moments, like Diana Ross's time on the famous Met Gala stairs, and more. Theo Wargo / FilmMagic / Getty Images, Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum / Vogue While there are so many Met Gala looks to discuss, the internet could not get enough of Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter. Not only did people love their actual Met Gala outfits, but their afterparty looks were what everyone was really talking about. Axelle / Bauer-Griffin / FilmMagic / Getty Images, Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for AEG For the actual event, Jenna wore a metallic dress made out of rulers by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain. Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images She paired the metallic dress with Old Hollywood-inspired waves in her hair by hair stylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez, a deep burgundy lip color, smoky gray eyeshadow, a silver necklace from Grown Brilliance, and earrings and rings by Hearts On Fire. Taylor Hill / Getty Images Meanwhile, Sabrina wore a burgundy bodysuit by Louis Vuitton and Pharrell, who is the brand's men's creative director, paired with a pair of very high burgundy heels. Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum / Vogue Speaking of the pantsless look, she told Vogue on the red carpet, "[Pharrell] was like, 'You're quite short so no pants for you.' So here we are. Here we are." Jamie McCarthy / Getty Images Related: 18 Times Celebs Spent An Embarrassing Amount Of Money On Something That Wound Up Totally Useless After they each walked the red carpet, the duo met up inside the exclusive event, with photos of them quickly going viral on social media.

After Nasty Criticism About Bebe Rexha's Weight At The Met Gala, She Said She'd Recently Lost A Pregnancy
Warning: Discussion of pregnancy loss. In case y'all needed a millionth reason why commenting on someone's weight is not okay, let's look at what Bebe Rexha had to say after the Met Gala. Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images Related: 28 Celebs Who Never Seem To Get Canceled Despite Some Pretty Awful Behavior The singer made her Met Gala debut last night in a Christian Siriano gown. Unfortunately, some took that as an opportunity to talk about her body yet again. Taylor Hill / Getty Images Occasional musician and frequent troll Azealia Banks wrote on X that Bebe's look was giving "hormonal birth control implant" — a jab at her weight. Related: 15 Celebs Who Went From 'Wait, They Did WHAT?!' Normal Jobs To Massive Fame In a now-deleted post, Bebe wrote, "I'm so tired of people commenting on my weight. I have PCOS and struggle with infertility. I got pregnant, and it didn't work out and I've been carrying that pain in silence. I never owed anyone that truth, but maybe now you'll think twice before commenting on anyone's body.' Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Bebe further responded to Azealia directly, writing, "You might want to jump on some type of therapy sis, lexapro worked great for me." Bebe has been candid over the past few years about having PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. It's a hormonal disorder that can affect your sensitivity to insulin, leading many people who have it to gain weight regardless of lifestyle. ANGELA WEISS / AFP via Getty Images But, regardless of someone's health status, it is profoundly uncool to shame someone for their weight.
