Episode Overview

This episode of Friends Keep Secrets is a loose, sprawling, and ultimately deeply real hangout with Irish actor Barry Keoghan. Set against the familiar, playful chaos of the hosts' LA home, the conversation veers between levity (pizza, name mispronunciations, M&Ms in odd places) and vulnerability, as Barry talks about fame, social media, addiction, acting, and his working-class upbringing. It's both an honest look at the costs of celebrity and a testament to the power of safe, genuine friendship.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mispronouncing Barry’s Name and Casual Introductions

00:02–02:09

• The group has a running joke about how to pronounce Barry's last name, riffing on “Keoghan,” “Quaggin,” etc., before Barry himself enters and sets the record straight (“You got it right, Keoghan.” — Barry, 02:11).
• They reflect on how people rarely mock others these days, with Benny insisting that making fun is still rampant (“Everyone makes fun of everyone.” — Benny, 00:40).

2. Barry on Social Media & Public Scrutiny

03:33–07:18

• Barry opens up about his struggles with online hatred and how negative comments about his appearance and a cheating rumor affected him (“There’s a lot of hatred towards negativity me for just looking like this here.” — Barry, 04:04).
• He describes avoiding social media, skipping events, and withdrawing from public exposure due to a narrative he never addressed, which “just disappeared”–even after the accuser recanted.
• His pain is evident as he relates it back to his difficult upbringing and the cruelty of the internet’s pile-on culture:

  “For someone who’s went through that... stuff I seen as a kid and stuff I seen my mom... lay on the ground after fucking injecting herself and shit that I have to fight with every day... went through addiction myself and in sobriety and battle all of that, to then want to drag that person down...”
  — Barry, 09:54–10:19

3. Dealing with Rumors and Cheating Allegations

07:18–08:14

• Jack asks what the narrative was; Barry confirms it was cheating allegations, spread through a viral but ultimately debunked video.
• He chose silence to avoid harming the accuser, highlighting his sense of responsibility even while being wrongly targeted.

4. Handling Comments and the Reality of Fame

05:41–06:33, 12:08–12:39

• The crew trade examples of strange online rumors and hate (“Benny Blanco loves the taste of human urine...” — recounted TikTok comment, 05:53)
• Benny and Jack talk about emotional resilience versus numbness to internet feedback. Barry details how both positive and negative feedback can feel numbing, but deeply personal attacks—especially those referencing his late parents—are “absolutely disgusting.”

5. Addiction, Near-Death, and Sobriety

12:31–16:56

• Barry shares a harrowing story of almost dying from necrotizing fasciitis before filming “The Banshees of Inisherin.” (13:16–14:20)

• He explains the infection resulted from a psychosis event related to drug use.

• Barry’s journey through addiction, multiple stints in rehab, and achieving sobriety two and a half years ago parallels his mother’s struggles and death:

  “It took me three attempts of rehab and I was finally [in] Malibu... there was a sudden switch... when I was 32, you know, same age my mom. I was like, that's it, I'm not doing it.” — Barry, 14:41

• He describes technically dying for a few seconds in London, sharing a vivid vision he had while unconscious:

  “It was almost like a fucking painting... fields... the wind... a girl walking away and she wouldn’t look back…”
  — Barry, 15:33

6. On Acting, Range, and Methods

20:05–34:41

• Barry is asked about pressure playing Ringo Starr in a new Beatles film series. He confirms he learned drums and draws parallels with his boxing background (“I boxed for like 15 years…” — Barry, 20:21).

• He credits his grandmother with supporting both his entry into boxing and acting.

• The group dives into the reality of nudity on film—addressing Barry’s viral nude scene in “Saltburn.” Barry emphasizes its artistic realism and cultural differences with European and French cinema:

  “I wouldn’t do something like that if it was... there was no reason. […] French cinema, and you see these things... it’s not like, settled perfectly. It’s messy and it’s very real.” — Barry, 27:01

• They discuss prosthetic vs. real nudity; Barry opted for authenticity.

7. Vulnerability, Craft, and Character Work

35:32–39:09

• Barry talks about always trying to find and play the truth in characters, often recalling difficult personal experiences to fuel his performances.
• He admits the emotional toll: “You try and get to a really vulnerable state... which is scary because we don’t do that day to day.” — Barry, 35:47
• Turning off after dark, dramatic roles isn't easy: “You can never turn off... opening the jar again…” — Barry, 36:19

8. Physical Transformations and Health

38:45–41:31

• Barry addresses weight loss for roles (58kg/127lb for Ringo) and the unintended effects of ADHD medication suppressing appetite.
• He shares his daily routine: early wake-up, boxing, chocolate cravings, and managing focus with medication (Elvance/Vyvanse), which he’s been on for six years.

9. Food, Flavor, and Candies

44:11–48:11

• The group bond over UK vs US chocolate and sweets, reminiscing about childhood favorites. Barry lists Dairy Milk, Bounty, and Cadbury as staples.
• “The chocolate in the UK is so much better than the chocolate in America. It's crazy.” — Benny, 47:26

10. Reflections on Career Trajectory

48:40–50:59

• Barry’s breakthrough: movie “’71” and then “Dunkirk.” He describes intentionally maintaining naivete on historical movies to match his character rather than striving for encyclopedic accuracy.
• On not being like his characters:

  “You’re nothing like the guy [characters]. You’re, like, the most cool down-to-earth. Like, I love that.”
  — Benny, 51:13

Tone & Atmosphere

The episode balances the show's signature playfulness (banter about food, pranking, candid sex talk) with rare, raw admissions about fame’s downsides, addiction, and childhood trauma. The hosts skillfully create a space for Barry to be emotionally open but never pushy or sensationalistic. The overall mood is warm, irreverent, and strangely healing—genuine friendship as salve for public wounds.

[Barry Keoghan]

Honestly, no. But I do go on and have a look and. Cause, you know, I'm curious.

[Benny Blanco]

But don't do it.

[Barry Keoghan]

There is a lot of hatred towards negativity me for just looking like this here.

[Chuck]

So terrible. It's so terrible. Why do you mean looking like this?

[Barry Keoghan]

I mean just looking like this. Like, just attacking my appearance.

[Benny Blanco]

You're hot.

[Jack]

Dude.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. Do you know what I mean? But, like, it's just. It's crazy. It's just crazy.

[Benny Blanco]

I want to tell you something though.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Like. Cause man to man, I'm a guy who gets. Couldn't be.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, I've seen our faces together.

[Benny Blanco]

Couldn't be talked about more.

[Barry Keoghan]

I post that 20 million fucking views being like, how ugly are they?

[Jack]

Oh, man, that's sick.

[Benny Blanco]

Honestly, dude, you're hot. You're much hotter than me.

[Jack]

So he is hotter than you, but you're both hot.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, my God. So you're like. You're like a movie star. Like you. I mean, you are a movie star, but I have never even seen a bad thing about you. Maybe like a few of my friends who are like, my friends making fun of me. They've like, sent. Like, I saw. There's this like, one really fun. I find it very funny where it's like, me, you and like, Travis, Kelsey and then like the guy who Ariana dates, and it's like, which one of these, like, ugly bastards would you want to date? And then they're like, they're girlfriends. I don't mind that. But like, yeah, yeah, I don't mind that. I'm like, these things sometimes, like, in our heads seem like so fucking huge. And it's like one. And you know what? It is huge. It's huge. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm sure it's huge if you're like, you feel sad. But like, I always tell people. Cause I'm not a comments guy. And when I do, when, like, they'll tell me. Cause they know I have like the thickest skin. Like, literally. We came across a thing yesterday.

[Chuck]

Oh, yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

She was sitting right next to me.

[Chuck]

We were sitting outside and I was just like screaming, scrolling on TikTok. And all of a sudden I got served. What did it say?

[Benny Blanco]

It said, like, Benny Blanco gets pissed in the mouth and loves it or something.

[Chuck]

Benny Blanco loves the taste of human urine.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. And they'll be like.

[Jack]

And then he was like, I didn't say that. And then he opens up the clip. It's him being like, yeah, like my friend pissed in my mouth one time.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, no, but.

[Jack]

And then he's like, that's real.

[Barry Keoghan]

The comments about the feet I've seen.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, yeah, look what someone made. Look what someone.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, wow. Wow.

[Benny Blanco]

Of my foot with dirt on.

[Barry Keoghan]

Can I get one of those?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, you can.

[Barry Keoghan]

You notice a picture of me on the Internet and I'm like that with dirt on my feet.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, yeah, Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

I mean, that was, like, years ago. Of course I love it, dude. But what I got what I. Sorry to interrupt because I will forget I've got mad ADHD and hd.

[Benny Blanco]

Welcome to the adhd. He said adhd?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. Honestly, it's.

[Jack]

Don't. Don't disrupt him. He's done it with thought.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's crazy. Now I've actually put. Yeah, forgot what I'm going to say. This is part of. It happens to all of us. But no, honestly, I have been just on a serious note, you know, I feel in a safe space to say this and, you know, but I have been avoiding stuff. I have been like, you know, I came off Instagram, you know, on social profiles. I stopped going to events. I've stopped, you know, just socializing. And again, it's. Because, you know, there was a narrative out there that was never really sort of even spoken on. A narrative that's not true. And I never confirmed or said anything about it. And, you know, I just disappeared.

[Jack]

I feel compelled to make sure I know the narrative we're even talking about. That you're talking about. Is it something about cheating?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, I cheated. Yeah. And, you know, and I don't want to ever bring anyone else into it, but, like, you know, unfortunately, you know, having a relationship in the public eye, it's. It's, you know, we all know this, you know, from. From our own stories, but it gets put out there and it's like, you. You.

[Chuck]

It's amplified.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Amplified.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

So I just never, like, again, there was, you know, if you see the narrative, you see the story. A girl made a video, and then a girl actually made the same video and went, sorry for making that up, you know, but no one seemed to latch onto that video.

[Jack]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

You know, it's unfortunate. She's seen the reaction, this girl. She. And I didn't want to come forward and put that girl under and go, hold on for a second.

[Jack]

I don't know.

[Barry Keoghan]

Because again, I don't know how she deals with.

[Jack]

Totally.

[Barry Keoghan]

So I'm aware of all of that. You know, I don't want to bring anyone else into it, but I. I

[Chuck]

would imagine it's one of those things where, like, if you just, like, kind of, like, brace for the impact and stay with it, it will, like. Like the Internet will move on. I feel like they do. I don't know my. Well, I got it. I was gonna say something.

[Benny Blanco]

We're just somebody who's very in it. I gotta be real with you. This thing, this shit Doesn't. No. It doesn't puzzle it for two years.

[Barry Keoghan]

It affect.

[Jack]

It's not gonna. Look, at the end of the day, I feel like you're aware of the facts at hand, and if you know what the facts at hand are in your heart. For me, like, when I see a comment that feels like they're saying something that I just patentedly or patently disagree with, I don't take it seriously because I'm like, well, that person has no basis because they're just wrong and they don't know me. Or patently, I don't know.

[Benny Blanco]

Blatantly.

[Chuck]

Blatantly, yeah.

[Jack]

Patently is not right. But it could be right.

[Chuck]

But it is what patently was. I don't think, like, you've patented the idea.

[Jack]

Yeah, something like that.

[Benny Blanco]

I thought you meant blatantly.

[Jack]

No, blatantly is wrong.

[Benny Blanco]

Blatantly is right.

[Jack]

But I'm just saying, for me.

[Benny Blanco]

For me. That's right.

[Jack]

I'm the same way. And I get a lot of positive comments, but I am numb to them. But if they're the right, positive comments that really speak to, like, oh, you're appreciating me in the fullest way.

[Barry Keoghan]

I want to be, that's lovely.

[Jack]

That's the best.

[Barry Keoghan]

And I'm not asking for people to become my fan and like me, because that's not normal either, but I'm asking for people to stop assuming and also stop jumping on this narrative and attacking me and dragging me down in any way you can involving my. My parents who are no longer with me and my parents. Fine, whatever. But just absolutely disgusting. Vile. Like, there's videos on. On TikTok, literally going, I hate him. Because for someone who's went through that. And I'm not saying this for a pity card or. Pity me.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Why is it cool to. To hop on and beat someone who's come from a lot.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Jack]

You know, kick somebody when they're down.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, but like, someone like myself or kids like myself to survive and stuff I seen as a kid and stuff. I seen my mom, you know, lay on the ground after fucking injecting herself and shit that I have to fight with every day and do a lot of therapy. Went through addiction myself and in sobriety and to battle all of that, to then want to drag that person down.

[Benny Blanco]

It's a terrible culture, and it's sad

[Chuck]

because it takes away somebody like you who's had a lot of life experience. And you can probably connect with a lot of people if you felt like you had a safer space to Be yourself publicly. It's sad that I know this is.

[Jack]

I feel like I'm being naive for even phrasing it this way, but don't even take it seriously. They have no idea of the facts at hand, so it totally discredits whatever they're saying. I can't take anyone seriously who has a passionate opinion without having the facts at hand. So whenever I receive that information, I'm like, oh, it's meaningless now. If they're saying something that really. I'm like, fuck that.

[Benny Blanco]

That's what I'm saying. Or if it's someone you know, it's hard for people. Like, Selena will come to me, and she'll be like, I can't believe how well you can. Like, she's like, oh, I'll see things, and I'll wanna, like, write back in the comments about things. And I have a very unique perspective. And, you know, for me, I became really big in a certain field when I was, like, 17, 18 years old. And I'd been doing it publicly since I was a kid. And then I got to help all these other stars get their thing going. I didn't become famous until 2020, so it's only been, like, six years for me.

[Jack]

And it's like, that's when you met me, right?

[Benny Blanco]

I met him, right? Nope. I met you in 2014.

[Jack]

Oh, right.

[Benny Blanco]

What am I talking about?

[Barry Keoghan]

2014?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Wow.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

And then I got famous, and then I was like, ooh, I don't like this.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's a hard one, because I never want to speak on behalf of other people and also never want to. Never want to, you know, mention other people are involved. And even if it is those people that I was in a relationship with, it's not my place or it's not their place to come forward and speak on my behalf. It's unfair to them.

[Jack]

Yes, absolutely.

[Barry Keoghan]

They're also in a relationship. It's also both of us being out there for, like, you know, so. I'm very aware of that.

[Benny Blanco]

I have a question.

[Jack]

Before you ask your question, I would just like to say, patently is an adverb, meaning clearly, obviously, or plainly often used to emphasize that something is unmistakably true or evident. You guys want to hang out outside for a little bit?

[Chuck]

You have such a good vocabulary.

[Benny Blanco]

I have a question.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Is this thing a happy story?

[Barry Keoghan]

It's a story.

[Benny Blanco]

What is that?

[Barry Keoghan]

I've never used necrotizing fasciitis. Here's one for you. Type that in your necroside effect. Your big machine Your patently, your patent lean machine.

[Benny Blanco]

Your patently.

[Jack]

What is it called?

[Barry Keoghan]

The Robert Patton. My Robert Patton. This is a flesh eating, the bacteria infection that I and almost died.

[Benny Blanco]

How were you?

[Barry Keoghan]

I got it right before I filmed the movie Banshees. Banshees of Inisherin. And literally I got it three weeks beforehand. And I got it because I went through psychosis. An event happened and I got hit with a bottle and something happened to my arm. But if you type in Google, it doesn't even let you look at the images.

[Chuck]

It's like you got hit by a person threw a bottle at you.

[Barry Keoghan]

A bottle. And it went to my blood system and whatever. It's a very rare infection.

[Benny Blanco]

Is that what happened here?

[Barry Keoghan]

Necrotizing. That's a separate one.

[Jack]

But like what year was that? When did this happen?

[Barry Keoghan]

I want you to type this in when you see. But this basically it eats your limbs and they have to remove it.

[Benny Blanco]

They can't write more negative comment about you.

[Barry Keoghan]

You got too much N E, C C T R I, Z I G

[Jack]

I, N Z I, Z I.

[Barry Keoghan]

When there's a zed there, you know it's bad. Nectarizing fascia is fa.

[Benny Blanco]

It's got to know by now what you're. What you're saying.

[Jack]

Here you go.

[Barry Keoghan]

All right. Look at the images. Right, Images.

[Jack]

Oh, look, it's blurry.

[Barry Keoghan]

It doesn't even show you. Right?

[Benny Blanco]

Is it blurry?

[Jack]

I'm getting shown images but they're absolutely disgusting. I think I have my like adult mode on.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Oh, it's completely disgusting. What this has to.

[Chuck]

So this is what, it goes into your body. Oh my God. Oh, wow. It looks unreal.

[Barry Keoghan]

So yeah, basically these bubbles form and they have to remove whatever limb it goes on and if they don't remove

[Benny Blanco]

it and tomorrow, well, you still have a limb.

[Barry Keoghan]

I know they caught it. So they brought over doctors from Liverpool to catch it. They caught it and then I filmed the movie three weeks later.

[Jack]

Oh my God.

[Benny Blanco]

What happened to the other arm?

[Barry Keoghan]

This was psychosis as well.

[Benny Blanco]

What do you mean when you're saying psychosis for both of these.

[Barry Keoghan]

Psychosis event, like from drugs, you know.

[Benny Blanco]

Did you used to do drugs?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, yeah, I'm clean now. I'm clean like two and a half years ago.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, that's good.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, good for you. But I had to almost like, you know, paper. My mom died at torture too, of heroin. My dad passed away. But the curiosity of still wanting to do this for me, of course, like it took me three attempts of rehab and I was finally Malibu the point. And there was a sudden switch. And it was when I was 32, you know, same age my mom. I was like, that's it. I'm not doing it.

[Chuck]

Like, do you not like, drink, do anything?

[Barry Keoghan]

I don't do anything.

[Chuck]

Did you used to do, like, drink

[Barry Keoghan]

animals to try to justify it by going, maybe I'll be off to drink for a while. But now I'm like, I'd like to think I'm allergic to alcohol because my reaction is cocaine. Yeah, that reaction can make me die.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

I don't want to ever even. Yeah, I. I technically did die for a few seconds.

[Jack]

Now that you don't because you have like a moment of post death vision.

[Barry Keoghan]

I did. And it feels like now.

[Benny Blanco]

What'd you see?

[Barry Keoghan]

I swear to you, it was almost like a fucking painting. It happened in London. And, you know, I went for a few seconds and there was this sort of image, the fields, and it was the wind, but there was this girl walking away and she wouldn't look back and she had blonde hair, but she was walking away. And I kept calling her and she just kept walking. I wanted to see who it was, you know, and it was almost like she was walking away to get me to follow. And on this side was like, council flats. Where are those? Like, council flats is like council flats. Flats, like apartment council, like city council flat.

[Jack]

Oh, you mean like,

[Benny Blanco]

like public housing?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, like projects. And it's sort of where I grew up, you know, and it was black and white, and this side was in color. And on this side, there was loads of lads stabbing me and trying to push me over. And obviously was the doctors doing the work on me, you know, is what I was feeling. But in this vision, they were. They were stabbing me and pushing me, and I was holding onto them and they were trying to push me over to this side. And I swear, I shit you not, I was begging them that I could stay. I was like, please let me stay. And they were like, all right, let them stay. And literally then, yeah, wow.

[Benny Blanco]

Let's go outside and talk about something fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, Olipop cream soda. You know, when I was a kid, I used to drink cream soda at all the delis with my mother. And I used to put ice cream in it. And it was so unhealthy. But this thing's like, has fiber. And, you know, the more fiber you eat or drink, you're gonna be pooping like Niagara Falls. And this. This little puppy right here packs a punch. We got 9 grams of fiber in this thing.

[Jack]

Buy any two cans of Ollipop in store and they'll pay you back for one. Any flavor, any retailer.

[Benny Blanco]

Go to drinkolipop.com

[Jack]

tell me about Canva.

[Benny Blanco]

You know what? I am gonna tell you something about Canva because I have a date coming up. I wanna make it really special and I'm gonna cook a whole meal. But what I really wanna do is have like the sweetest like menu written out and I need like a flyer. You can give it. It's so easy. You can give it just like very simple tasks and then it makes you a whole thing.

[Jack]

Do you write like appetizer? Then it's like the lobster. Way better.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, it's going to be amazing.

[Jack]

Have you thought of the ideas?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, I've thought a lot of them. But with Canva it makes design easy for anyone.

[Jack]

[Benny Blanco]

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, this is always a deep conversation.

[Chuck]

I love deep conversations.

[Benny Blanco]

This is right. This is right during the flight.

[Chuck]

I live for the deep.

[Benny Blanco]

There's a flight path over there, Santa Monica.

[Chuck]

Do you fly?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Chuck]

You're not scared of flying?

[Barry Keoghan]

So you don't fly?

[Benny Blanco]

I don't. I don't, no.

[Chuck]

But you're going to.

[Benny Blanco]

I'm gonna fly.

[Barry Keoghan]

So wait, you get to England on a boat?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

No way.

[Benny Blanco]

Me and Ed Sheeran actually made an album on it one time.

[Jack]

He did?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. We made like one of his, I think his biggest album ever.

[Barry Keoghan]

I know. I know Ed quite well.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a good friend of mine. When you said the thing earlier, the movie you were in, it sounded like you said like Banshees of Ed Sheeran. Is that what you said? Oh, it's called Banshees of Ed Sheeran. I didn't want to interrupt. You were saying something so serious about it.

[Chuck]

I can't believe he's doing a movie called like Bunches of you.

[Barry Keoghan]

Almost lost my arm. A bunch of Ed Sheeran.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Chuck, I thought he was saying bunchies of Ed Sheeran.

[Jack]

Orange flavored.

[Barry Keoghan]

Thanks, Moon.

[Benny Blanco]

But I thought it was.

[Jack]

I couldn't find another plane.

[Benny Blanco]

I thought you were going to say I really like you.

[Chuck]

I really like you too. And I really like you.

[Benny Blanco]

This is our most serious episode ever. I like it. No, it's cool.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's great to.

[Benny Blanco]

This is cool.

[Chuck]

I love any conversation about struggle and the Mind?

[Barry Keoghan]

No. You know what? I feel like it just feels safe to chat like that. And open and dare. Yeah, we're open.

[Chuck]

And you're going through a lot.

[Jack]

There's some sort of construction going on that the noise might be too.

[Benny Blanco]

Should we go inside? Sit on the couch? Okay, let's just go sit on the couch. I love how he talks, man. I would like to see you on the Internet a little more. I love your personality.

[Barry Keoghan]

Thanks, Mush.

[Benny Blanco]

Is your hair always this long?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, I had long hair growing up as a kid. You know, it's rough.

[Chuck]

We kind of all have the hair.

[Barry Keoghan]

Ringo?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. You're playing a Beatle. Yeah.

[Jack]

Do you feel a lot of pressure to do the Beatles thing? Are you like. No, I'm looking for this.

[Benny Blanco]

Isn't it four movies?

[Barry Keoghan]

Four movies.

[Chuck]

Oh my God.

[Benny Blanco]

And then they come out a week after each other.

[Barry Keoghan]

I think it's like two weeks after.

[Jack]

Who's directing this movie?

[Barry Keoghan]

Samantha's.

[Jack]

Okay.

[Benny Blanco]

You learn how to play drums?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, for this? Yeah. But I boxed for like 15 years, so, like, hand, eye coordination sort of helps.

[Benny Blanco]

Are you good fighter?

[Jack]

Yeah, it's probably better than you.

[Chuck]

You guys want to try?

[Benny Blanco]

Could you. Do you think you could beat up all three of us at once?

[Chuck]

I don't at once.

[Barry Keoghan]

I'm gonna sit on the floor.

[Jack]

I like sitting on the floor.

[Benny Blanco]

I thought you were about to do it, right?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, of course.

[Benny Blanco]

You look like you could be like shifty. Can you guys?

[Chuck]

I've never. Can you guys? I've seen you fight your brother. Can you fight? Mochi, do it.

[Jack]

Can I fight?

[Benny Blanco]

I think I can. I think. I think I can fight better than everyone here except him.

[Barry Keoghan]

Do you know, weirdly like boxing, though, you know, when I started boxing and it was my granny who stuck me in and this is where I. I found acting, you know, because it was a street cast and there's a notice, like for kids who never acted on. I rang the number and it said.

[Benny Blanco]

It said kids who've never acted.

[Barry Keoghan]

It didn't say that. Be kind of weird.

[Benny Blanco]

But like I said, we're looking for kids who never acted.

[Barry Keoghan]

Like an open audition, like Streetcast. And it was from in the. In around the boxing club. But when I got into boxing, I stopped, you know, you didn't want to fight Wordy.

[Benny Blanco]

You know what I mean?

[Barry Keoghan]

You get an appreciation for. And it's. It's.

[Benny Blanco]

Is your granny still living?

[Barry Keoghan]

She is.

[Benny Blanco]

Is she just like losing it for, like how, like, you're like the ultimate success story?

[Barry Keoghan]

No, no, like kind of. She raised 10 kids.

[Chuck]

Oh, wow.

[Benny Blanco]

Wow.

[Barry Keoghan]

In this project, as you call it, this like two bedroom.

[Benny Blanco]

And when you got on, did you like, like, set her up in a cool house? Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, no, no, she's still there. No, she's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She said she won't move.

[Benny Blanco]

She won't.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, no, she's.

[Benny Blanco]

It took me. I understand. It took me a while to get my mom to move. Like, at first she would only. My mom would only let me get. Buy her things for the house. Like, she was like, would you please buy me a dishwasher? Yeah.

[Jack]

Right.

[Benny Blanco]

And I Like a washing machine. Yeah, washing machine. That was the second one. Yeah. She wanted a dishwasher, a washing machine. And then I asked my mom, I said, mom, I'll buy. This was, you know, 15 years ago. I said, let me buy you your dream car.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

And like, my mom's dream car was

[Barry Keoghan]

like a Toyota Crow.

[Benny Blanco]

No, it was the lowest end Mercedes. Like a. Like a C200. Like. And she still has it to this day. And she's so appreciative.

[Barry Keoghan]

She's very appreciative. It's the meaning and the.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, she's. She's so appreciate. And I'll let you.

[Chuck]

How do you say appreciative?

[Benny Blanco]

Appreciative.

[Chuck]

Appreciative.

[Barry Keoghan]

Appreciative.

[Jack]

I'm from, like, respective.

[Chuck]

Had you.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, I'm from Virginia. Yeah.

[Chuck]

Say it again.

[Benny Blanco]

I think you're supposed to say appreciative.

[Chuck]

It's like the only word I've ever heard you say.

[Benny Blanco]

No, I say a few things. Interesting.

[Barry Keoghan]

Appreciative.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, I say a few things.

[Chuck]

Appreciative.

[Benny Blanco]

Now they want a good tone. I'd love to ask you something. Okay. And it's just.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's inappropriate and I have nothing to do with it.

[Benny Blanco]

It could be. Go on. It could be really inappropriate. But I have a few questions about the thing because, you know, you're ass naked in a movie. Okay.

[Jack]

Now you know what he said?

[Benny Blanco]

And I got some questions and I want to know, like, first of all, that's your real dick.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, it is. Okay.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, yeah. Good dick.

[Benny Blanco]

Good dick. Yeah. Okay.

[Chuck]

I haven't seen Salt.

[Benny Blanco]

No. Oh, Want me to pull it up?

[Barry Keoghan]

No, go watch it. No, that. That was my. I actually spoke about yesterday. That was. That scene was. It started cloth, like the, the dance scene. It started with clothes, you know, in the script. And I just wanted to kind of an emerald. Wanted to make it more sort of like ownership, you know, when you dance around your place and you get out of the shower. Like, you listen to music and you're naked and we all do it. You do it in a place that's yours. You know what I'm saying? You do it.

[Benny Blanco]

So you. You were just like. Yeah.

[Chuck]

You weren't nervous?

[Barry Keoghan]

No, because I think even we just threw in there randomly. And I think this is thing where,

[Benny Blanco]

you know, make the movie. Yeah, it's like the most important everyone. It's like the most viral thing. I remember when it came out.

[Barry Keoghan]

It is, but it's like, I think this is a thing where even French cinema and like, just European cinema, that you're just normalized. Yeah, it's normalized. You know, and sex scenes.

[Chuck]

But there's not a lot of people on set when you're doing it right or.

[Barry Keoghan]

Well, that's the thing. Like, I mean, the bed was an 800-year-old bed that some king owned it. And, you know, they were like, you know, you can't lay on this bed. But I was like, well, I have to step into frame. So they let me lay on the bed with a hot water bottle, you know, to kind of keep like the

[Jack]

blood flowing to your penis.

[Benny Blanco]

I have to ask. I need. Wait. Okay.

[Jack]

So you make your dick as big as it could be.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, no, no.

[Jack]

Okay.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Barry Keoghan]

You can't do that. But like, to, like, to, you know, so you don't go, you know, so.

[Jack]

Oh, to be as small as.

[Barry Keoghan]

You can hear that?

[Chuck]

Because I was gonna say, I thought cold air makes.

[Benny Blanco]

No, this is hot water.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, but he's saying, well, not too hot because it was like, you know, scaldy. But also I'm on an 800-year-old bed and I'm like, yeah, ready? And then I step into frame.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay, so I need to know. So, like, are you. I don't even know how to ask.

[Jack]

I know what you want to ask.

[Benny Blanco]

Is that a good.

[Jack]

Are you trying to get a little bit of blood flowing to your dick and thinking about something that turns you on to have like the ideal soft, but kind of like quarter bone?

[Barry Keoghan]

I know what you mean.

[Benny Blanco]

Is that your best soft dick?

[Barry Keoghan]

That's a great question.

[Benny Blanco]

That's what I want to know. You want to know.

[Jack]

I think he was pleased with the outfit.

[Benny Blanco]

Were you pleased with the outfit?

[Jack]

You were pleased with your eyes?

[Benny Blanco]

It could have been better there. Could have been better. There could have been that perfect level of blood where she was hanging.

[Barry Keoghan]

Could have been.

[Chuck]

So you want to know about his hanging dick? No, I'm just curious. So you don't want it to be you have to, like, straddle the line.

[Benny Blanco]

Well, you don't want it to be too big because then you're starting to.

[Barry Keoghan]

You can't have an erection on screen. It's just like. And you don't want that, you know?

[Chuck]

But if you're thinking that you can't have one, don't you just get one? Because you're thinking. Thinking you can't have.

[Barry Keoghan]

But you're also, like, nervous and, like, really, like, not embarrassed, but, like, there's a whole crew, and it's also awkward for them. Yeah, yeah. Everyone thinks it's just awkward. It's awkward for everyone because everyone's sort of like, okay looking away and, like, you know, but as you're dancing in the scene and doing everything, it's.

[Benny Blanco]

It's a powerful scene, but it's also.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's getting cold as I go along those corridors and, like, does your.

[Benny Blanco]

I gotta rewatch it. Does your penis change size throughout the day?

[Barry Keoghan]

Continuity.

[Benny Blanco]

Then it's continuity. And how many times did you have to. To do that?

[Barry Keoghan]

Like, 12 times.

[Chuck]

Oh, my.

[Benny Blanco]

12 times.

[Jack]

Cause wasn't it like, one. Was it one shot or. No, no, one shot.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Now was like, Jacob allure. Was he like, oh, my God, I'm so happy I didn't have to do that scene?

[Barry Keoghan]

No, Jacob was. Where was he?

[Benny Blanco]

He's like, nah, my cock's huge. Exact.

[Jack]

What?

[Benny Blanco]

What?

[Chuck]

Jacob.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, that's a great.

[Benny Blanco]

Dave. Oh, Dave.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, yeah, that's it. You thought it was you or Jacob.

[Barry Keoghan]

I thought it was Ringo.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, no, no, no, it's not. But I see what you're saying. Wait, so was he like, whoa, man. Like, good on you for doing.

[Barry Keoghan]

He was like, fair play, you know. Fair play. Fair play.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

But, like, you know, it just added to again, you know, I wouldn't do something like that if it was.

[Benny Blanco]

There was no reason.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. And I think in what European cinema is, especially, as I said, French cinema, and you see these things and it's like, you know, it's not glamorized sex scenes. It's not like, settled perfectly. It's. It's messy and it's very easy.

[Benny Blanco]

When I saw it, I was like, oh, like, this made this. Knowing that it would have been clothed. Yeah, it does make it, like, it was funny. I was talking about, like, my friend has a TV show. And I said the most believable part was where she was just, like, changing and talking at the same time as she was changing, because it's like, it's real. Yeah. It's real. It's one thing. Like. Yeah, I hate when you watch movies and there's, like, sexy, sexy.

[Barry Keoghan]

There's a dick scene with Lady Gaga.

[Chuck]

Can you tell if it's a process? Like, do a lot of men do fake dicks?

[Benny Blanco]

What's his name? My friend did a fake dick. Yeah.

[Jack]

Did they ask you, did you do a fake dick?

[Benny Blanco]

They said, you want a fake dick? And you were like, nah, I'm.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, I'm good to do it like this, if that's good. But, like, you know, damn right I'm even. We have handshakes. Yeah, yeah, we have good handshakes.

[Jack]

Yeah, you guys have good chemistry.

[Chuck]

You're getting a fake dick. Is it like, prosthetics?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chuck]

There's sitting in a chair.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, there's. There's prosthetics.

[Barry Keoghan]

Like, we can work on that.

[Chuck]

It's like.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, they're like, putting. I feel like getting a present.

[Chuck]

Oh, that was, like, doing this or just slapping everyone.

[Barry Keoghan]

See who's the best chemistry with.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, Like, Mark. Like, ow. Mark Wahlberg had a fake dick and Boogie Nights.

[Jack]

I had to. For the Met gala episode in my TV show. I wanted, because I was hiding in the bathroom the whole episode to be

[Barry Keoghan]

in the selfie as you do in the Met.

[Jack]

And then I wanted the joke to be like, someone walked in and, like, they start peeing, but I see through, like, the little thing like, that they have, like, the biggest dick of all time, and I didn't know who I was gonna get. So then Machine Gun Kelly came, and he was the guy who was gonna have the dick. And he was so, like. He was like, this is so funny. And he loved it. And the dick's so big, but it's so hyper real.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Like, I gave so many notes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gave so many notes about, like, too thick too, like, all he was. I've never seen a situation like, his team was like, you have to leave right now. He was, like, headlining a festival that required him to get on a flight at, like, X time or he would not be able to do it. And this man pushed the boundaries of, like, he literally stayed for, like, 14 more minutes than was there. Absolute drop there. Like, you're not gonna make it.

[Benny Blanco]

Like, there's no way. Just so he could hold the dick.

[Jack]

Just so he could hold the dick. And then the whole thing ended up getting cut from the episode.

[Barry Keoghan]

Ah.

[Chuck]

Not, ah.

[Benny Blanco]

Let's put it. Enter it right here. Can you do that?

[Jack]

I'd have to.

[Barry Keoghan]

I watch once. Yeah, you watch once. Yeah.

[Chuck]

And then you never watch it again.

[Jack]

Aren't you so I can't imagine. Cause I'm the. Cause usually I write what I'm in. I couldn't imagine the feeling of being a star in a movie, going to this thing and seeing it for the first time with everyone else not knowing how you even feel about it again.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's like, you know, with you on this, you know, and we all relate to this. I think once you do it and once. For me, it's like always telling the truth. The closest I can get to telling the truth on screen, you know, because for a lot of my parts, I recall a lot of stuff. It's exhausting. And I go back to places and bring it forward. I use music to get me to a state of emotion and stay in it. And if the story is a bit far fetched or seen from my own truth, I'll try and match it somehow and use my imagination. But if I'm. If I can just tell the truth of the closest to it, then I'm happy. Yeah, I'm not looking for anything else, really. Like, I'm not looking at. I'm just looking at, you know, when you're telling the truth in the eyes. And that's all I'm looking for.

[Chuck]

Do you ever do a take or you do like a couple takes and you're like, man, I really hope they don't use that one take. And then you see in the premiere, they use the one take or no.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, you do.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

The thing that does happen. Yeah.

[Chuck]

You can't ever be like, after you shoot it, like, hey, man, just so you know, don't use that one. Hey, girl.

[Jack]

Yeah, I'd be like, I have to

[Benny Blanco]

use the best table. So I'm so controlling of the edit that's in everything. I do. I'm so, like, I sit.

[Jack]

I know, but it'd be so nice to not be in control and know that you're in, like, the hands of the directors you work with. You know that everything you do pretty much is going to come out looking,

[Barry Keoghan]

having a good relationship with them and being like, look, let's add. I think I can get deeper with this one, you know? And I know when I know it, and I know when I can. I know when I'm. I have to put it on, and I hate that. And I know when I'm telling the truth because my tone and pitch changes or, you know, people. People want you to chat to people like this, you know, on screen. I'm like, we don't do that. I chat like this. I chat like that. And it's like, that's true. So when I'm forced to do something like that, I'm like, I can't find the truth in that, you know? Oh, sorry.

[Benny Blanco]

You play, like, such different types of, like. We always talk about it, like, Dave's like, he could. He could. There's, like, only so many types of guys he can't play. Guy, like, aren't you in, like, Peaky Blinders and stuff? You're like a man. Aren't you?

[Chuck]

Like a guy.

[Barry Keoghan]

Shout out to Peaky Blinders, what's up?

[Benny Blanco]

But, like, can't. You're, like, playing guys and, like, sometimes you're playing, like, aren't you, like, playing the joker, too?

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, but here's the thing. And this is range.

[Jack]

I played the Joker, too.

[Barry Keoghan]

This is Range, you know, like.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, you got right.

[Barry Keoghan]

With Banshees of Ed Sheeran. Yeah, you know, Banshees. But, like, I play, like, a character so far from what I've played.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

I play an innocent, like, you know, such a lovely kid.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

And that's the one I was nominated for an Oscar for. And that was to show vulnerability and show such a soft side. And then I'd go and play villains and wherever, but, like, I can play both.

[Jack]

And Killing of the Sacred Deer.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

You know, he played the joker, too.

[Jack]

Did you? I made a music video in Lithuania, like, two years ago.

[Barry Keoghan]

Did you?

[Jack]

Yeah. And it's true. I basically think I can act really well as myself.

[Barry Keoghan]

You'd be a great joker.

[Jack]

Do you want me to show. Can I show you my performance?

[Barry Keoghan]

I thought you did tv, but it's a tv.

[Benny Blanco]

No, Chuck, I'd like you to do it in person.

[Barry Keoghan]

No.

[Chuck]

Or show the.

[Jack]

I don't even have my hair. And makeup on.

[Barry Keoghan]

I knew that was a tv, because I've seen.

[Jack]

I'm so proud of this.

[Chuck]

I actually love this music video. It's the production value. It's incredible.

[Barry Keoghan]

In Lithuania, you show.

[Benny Blanco]

I'm not showing the whole music video. No, I'm just gonna show your entrance.

[Jack]

So you guys keep talking YouTube.

[Benny Blanco]

No, don't you gotta be in the convo?

[Jack]

I'm here. I'm right here.

[Chuck]

Wait. I was gonna ask you about character when you're playing a different well, but I just feel like it's gonna get interrupted instantly by you playing this.

[Jack]

Not at all. I'm far away. I have to do a whole mode issue.

[Chuck]

Oh, I was gonna say when you said that you, like, you always try to find truth in the characters. Do you always try to find, like, a little bit like you're playing a role, Obviously it's not you, but you try to, like, find a little bit of yourself.

[Barry Keoghan]

Definite always.

[Chuck]

But does that scare you if you're gonna, like, play the joke?

[Barry Keoghan]

Because you have to get. You have to get to a vulnerable state. And, you know, we constantly walk around putting ourself on guard and, like, putting this image on for people and whether we like it or not. But I always try and get to a really vulnerable state and an honest state, which is scary because we don't do that day to day.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

You're like, yeah, but I'm doing it for my art.

[Chuck]

But when you are done filming, can you turn off at night? Like, if you're gonna. Like, when you do the Joker and it's, like, darker, are you gonna be. Do you, like. Do you have any anxiety about, like.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, you can never turn off about coping. You know, it's like opening the jar Again, you don't do for every scene, like, picking up a glass, but you'll do it for those scenes that require, like, you know, the emotion.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Wow.

[Jack]

I love that.

[Benny Blanco]

You want to be an artist. Yes,

[Jack]

I am an artist. I'm very talented. Love this.

[Barry Keoghan]

I love the framing.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Thank you.

[Chuck]

It's such a good video.

[Benny Blanco]

He clearly did not absorb the material.

[Jack]

I just want to take things in a bit more unconventional direction.

[Barry Keoghan]

He's got a Charlie Chapman, sort of

[Jack]

the perfect 10 seconds aren't real,

[Benny Blanco]

but

[Jack]

the reveal was 10 seconds. Iron.

[Barry Keoghan]

Perfect.

[Benny Blanco]

Love that.

[Barry Keoghan]

I love that. It's class, man.

[Jack]

I love that.

[Chuck]

It's so good.

[Jack]

Thank you.

[Barry Keoghan]

So good, man.

[Jack]

I'm really proud of it, honestly.

[Benny Blanco]

I love that.

[Chuck]

I haven't seen it since you did it. I loved it.

[Jack]

Thank you so. Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

I like when Dave does the serious, like, humans. Super emotional humans.

[Jack]

I could only do two things. Me, act like I am now in any situation.

[Barry Keoghan]

That's the hardest.

[Jack]

I'm lucky to feel like it's the easiest, but then maybe I can do that, and then I can't do anything else. I don't think.

[Barry Keoghan]

Boy, I don't know.

[Jack]

And maybe I'm just limiting myself unnecessarily.

[Benny Blanco]

But, like, if I feel like you can.

[Jack]

Only if they were like, hey, you gotta be in, like, Dunkirk and you're, like, from London and you're in, like, a different time. I just don't. I guess I could work my.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, but he's like, you're like a special case. You're like a date. Daniel Day Lewitt, like most people, like, Seth Rogen is playing himself in different iterations. And it's like. Yeah, it's like you're like a real deal, and Seth is a real deal actor.

[Jack]

No, I know what you're saying, and

[Benny Blanco]

so are you, but you're like a thing. It's like a different thing. You can transform into another human being.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. Thank you. That means Daniel David was my favorite.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Like, Christian Bale can be like a different.

[Barry Keoghan]

Keep talking, Benny.

[Jack]

Keep talking.

[Benny Blanco]

Would you ever do one of those where you were. You lost, like. Where you lost, like, a million pounds for.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, I mean, I've lost so much weight on this movie. You know, not to put it to this movie, but just because.

[Benny Blanco]

How much?

[Barry Keoghan]

I mean, I was like, 65. 66 kilo, dude.

[Chuck]

I can see how much.

[Barry Keoghan]

58 kilo.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay.

[Barry Keoghan]

Which is like.

[Benny Blanco]

What's 65 kilos? What's 66. What's 66 kilos in pounds? What's 66 kilos in pounds, 145 pounds. And now what are you.

[Barry Keoghan]

Now I'm like 58.

[Benny Blanco]

58 kilos in pounds.

[Chuck]

Just do the.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, yeah, just do the math. What are you talking. He's. You're £127 right now.

[Barry Keoghan]

But it's because of my ADHD meds as well. Like, you know.

[Benny Blanco]

But did you. Did they tell you to lose weight first?

[Chuck]

No.

[Barry Keoghan]

No one ever tells you to lose weight. And you don't need to lose it for, like, Ringo either. You know, it's. It's. It's just more.

[Jack]

The anxiety.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, the more of the.

[Benny Blanco]

To get into character.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. And the stamina of working wasn't skinny like that. No, it's just that I think, you know, movies usually last six, seven weeks or two. Three months. And by the time. I always lose weight towards the end, but by that time, I'm gone.

[Jack]

You're withering away due to the production. Not. You're not making a choice to lose weight for the role.

[Benny Blanco]

Are you, like, actively. Are you actively being like. Oh, I'm.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, I eat, like, so much chocolate and so much.

[Benny Blanco]

Are you a health.

[Barry Keoghan]

I'm health. I'm healthy.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, you're healthy.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

What'd you eat yesterday? Wait, yesterday? Oh, wait, she has a question.

[Barry Keoghan]

I have a sea bass from rice.

[Chuck]

Wait, no. I was gonna ask you about your ADHD meds, because do you. Do you take what? I take them. I've been on them since I was 13. You take them too, but do you take them when you act?

[Barry Keoghan]

I take them every day. I'm on, like, 100 milligrams of, like, Elvance.

[Chuck]

Oh, a Vyvans.

[Barry Keoghan]

That's what you call avoidance. Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Chuck]

Well, no, I call it.

[Barry Keoghan]

I've been on concert.

[Chuck]

Oh, yeah, I used to take concert.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, I was on that.

[Chuck]

I feel like it's harder for boys to take it. Like, when boys get on the medication, like, young boys, they don't like it

[Benny Blanco]

because it represses your personality, sense of self.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. Did it?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. I didn't. I. My mom even agreed when she. I went to, like, I was doing a concert and I was like. And I couldn't. I couldn't.

[Chuck]

But you can take all different kinds. Like, they can find the right one.

[Benny Blanco]

I just didn't. Eventually, I grew to. And some people. It works great.

[Barry Keoghan]

For me, I was so scatty without it.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

You know, I've been on it, like, six years now. Longer, probably. And, you know, it's long release, slow release throughout the day. I take it every. Like, when I wasn't taking it, I was like, you know, and then I'd be impulsive and, you know, and now I'm like. I can focus on. On what I'm doing and don't feel it's kind of affected me. But it suppresses your appetite. So I have to eat a lot in the morning.

[Benny Blanco]

So yesterday you only had sea bass?

[Barry Keoghan]

No, I had cba.

[Benny Blanco]

Tell me, where'd you wake up? What time did you wake up? I wake up at 5am every day, no matter what. Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. I'm run.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay, so you're like 4K. 5K.

[Barry Keoghan]

And then I spot.

[Benny Blanco]

So you woke up at 5am no, not yesterday.

[Barry Keoghan]

Cause I'm in the States. I woke up at, like, 7 and went boxing.

[Benny Blanco]

You have to do Physical stuff every day, literally. I don't know what happened after. So you boxed at seven.

[Chuck]

You went and ate the seven.

[Benny Blanco]

And are you, like, really, like, going,

[Jack]

who are you boxing with?

[Barry Keoghan]

Boxing in Fortune's gym.

[Benny Blanco]

Gym.

[Barry Keoghan]

Okay, Melrose.

[Jack]

But like, it's like a public gym.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, you'd be a member. Yeah, I go there every time, but I'm in boxing club at home in London.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay, so you box.

[Jack]

Do you box random men there? No, you just, you can.

[Benny Blanco]

What if someone hits you in the face, though?

[Barry Keoghan]

I mean, they can because it's illegal.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, you're good.

[Chuck]

But otherwise you can't just get knocked in the face.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, you got a milk guard. You got.

[Chuck]

Yeah, but I thought boxing, when I did it once, it was like, you have to like, choreographed.

[Benny Blanco]

Would you ever get in the ring? Oh, that's like training with Mike Tyson right now. Okay, you get in the ring, not Mike Tyson. No, you get in the ring with Mike Tyson for, for one round, you're guaranteed to win an Oscar. But you have the feeling you, you, you get to do your best role and you would have known that you were going to get it and you know you're getting the opportunity of a lifetime, but you have to go in for one round and there is a chance you could die. Yeah, but like, it's not like a high chance. Would you do it?

[Barry Keoghan]

Would I go in?

[Benny Blanco]

Nah, you wouldn't. Even at his age right now I

[Barry Keoghan]

want to earn that.

[Benny Blanco]

No, no, you're earning it. You're earning it. You have the sense of earning it, but it just guarantees that it happens in your life.

[Jack]

First off, would you be just absolutely terrified to get in the ring with Mike Tyson, for one? Yeah, definitely.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, definitely. I wouldn't get in with allegedly.

[Benny Blanco]

Would you get in the. You'd get in the ring with, like, Jake Paul, right? Yeah, you would.

[Barry Keoghan]

Which this is going to be lined up?

[Benny Blanco]

I don't know. I don't know. Jake Paul's huge, Huge weight is a real thing. Okay, so you woke up, you boxed.

[Barry Keoghan]

Boxed.

[Benny Blanco]

What'd you do after you boxed?

[Barry Keoghan]

I've done some press, done some, like, radio and things.

[Benny Blanco]

Did you eat yet?

[Barry Keoghan]

Did I eat. That's all. I don't eat in the morning usually. I. I mean, yesterday I had M and Ms. Waking up.

[Chuck]

Do you want some? I just pulled some out of the bathroom.

[Barry Keoghan]

Those are mint ones.

[Jack]

We have mint ones.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, peanut mint.

[Chuck]

We do mint M&M's.

[Jack]

They're not M&Ms. They're shaped like M&M's.

[Benny Blanco]

They're delicious, but they're awesome.

[Barry Keoghan]

My eat is good, though.

[Benny Blanco]

Okay, so you do.

[Chuck]

But the ADHD medication does suppress your appetite.

[Barry Keoghan]

Does.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

So, like, you know, especially when you're walking as well. You're, like, so focused on. And then by the time, like, you know, dinner comes, it's like I end up having, like, sea bass or, like a dairy milk.

[Chuck]

Dairy milk.

[Benny Blanco]

Dairy milk or sea bass. Is there a milk? Dairy milk?

[Chuck]

You mean just a glass of milk?

[Benny Blanco]

You like miso sea bass?

[Barry Keoghan]

I've not tasted it.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, my God. Have you? Like, I make it all the time.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, it's like a. It's like Japanese. Like miso. Have you have miso cod?

[Barry Keoghan]

No. Miso cod? No. Miso horny, sticky cod?

[Benny Blanco]

No. Like, it's like a. Do you cook at all or. No.

[Barry Keoghan]

I'm so bad at cooking. Wa.

[Chuck]

Can we just talk about dairy milk? Did you just say dairy.

[Barry Keoghan]

Dairy milk?

[Chuck]

Right.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, dairy milk is like chocolate.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Dairy milk. The. The UK Chocolate.

[Barry Keoghan]

Such a sweet tooth. So good.

[Benny Blanco]

You know, Dairy milk is crunchy or crunch. Crunchy, I think is my favorite one.

[Barry Keoghan]

Crunchy dairy milk.

[Jack]

Do you always have a TV in your trailer?

[Barry Keoghan]

I do, but I don't watch it.

[Benny Blanco]

What do you do? I do it for fun or you don't have fun?

[Barry Keoghan]

What do I do for fun? I like the box, you know, like the boxing. And I moved outside of London into Henley. Gorgeous place.

[Chuck]

But all because of the online stuff.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Jack]

It's just. It's gonna go away.

[Benny Blanco]

It's not gonna go away.

[Barry Keoghan]

It's not.

[Benny Blanco]

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not lying to you. It's gonna be a part of a thing. But you will do more things that will push it to this point.

[Jack]

It's not gonna affect your work.

[Barry Keoghan]

Like today.

[Benny Blanco]

No.

[Barry Keoghan]

I had to address it.

[Chuck]

I have never been served one thing about it.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. I didn't even know I had a lot.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. I didn't know if you're looking on the Internet.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. I didn't even know.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

And also, like, I. The funny thing is. Yeah. Like, my. My, like, explore page. Like, I never get one thing of myself.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Like, and she said. She said she gets so much. Yeah. And I. Yeah. I don't get, like, mine's like food and architecture.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. If you're looking for it. Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. I don't look.

[Chuck]

I'm not looking for Benny. He just always pops up.

[Benny Blanco]

Chuck, do you like summer camp?

[Jack]

Yeah. Favorite part of life.

[Benny Blanco]

It was one of my favorite. Favorite times in my entire life, and I just reconnected with a few of our friends that I hadn't connected with. Meeting up and renting a home on Airbnb and just, like, doing a whole Color wars thing and having, like, the best time.

[Jack]

Airbnb is something that I haven't really spoken about how Airbnb connected us early on in our relationship.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, it did.

[Jack]

Yeah. If you hadn't booked that home on Airbnb's platform that day, you wouldn't have given me that ride home. We wouldn't have connected maybe at the length I think we would have connected at anyways, but it was a gift.

[Chuck]

Airbnb connected us because I got to give you the ride home and I got to spend extra time with you and I got to know you.

[Benny Blanco]

We respect you.

[Chuck]

We love you, Airbnb.

[Jack]

We love Airbnb, and we love you. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp, which is great.

[Chuck]

I texted my therapist today. I just thought to myself, why am I trying to figure it all out?

[Jack]

It's good to have help. And by the way, you can tell me anything, but it's probably stuff we've already talked about.

[Chuck]

You already know about all of it, but I think she's really great at helping me talk through it. And also, it's better probably to like, like, outsource some of it so you don't have to take that burden.

[Jack]

But I'm happy to sign up and get 10% [e-mail] that's betterhelp h lp.comfks

[Chuck]

I actually feel like you are a really good person to go to therapy. Yeah.

[Jack]

Why don't I get on BetterHelp and check it out? Let's work together to improve. And I love you. I love you, too.

[Chuck]

Moshi.

[Barry Keoghan]

At the same time, it's like you still want it.

[Benny Blanco]

What's that like? You know, Mr. M M's?

[Jack]

No. I think they might.

[Chuck]

I found them in the bathroom.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, yeah? What, in the bedroom?

[Benny Blanco]

Let me see. I don't want to eat food found in the bath. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see it.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, they are.

[Benny Blanco]

Oh, those actually are. Those aren't my favorite food. No, I don't. I like the peanut.

[Jack]

I'm interested.

[Barry Keoghan]

I'll have one.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Here you go. I like peanuts. Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

The chocolate in the UK is so much better than the chocolate in America. It's crazy.

[Barry Keoghan]

The milk, isn't it?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. The chocolate is unbelievable. But you guys have terrible sour candy.

[Chuck]

I love Cadbury.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, we're not as good as usual, sour candy.

[Chuck]

You know what I recently heard on the news?

[Barry Keoghan]

What?

[Chuck]

You know Reese's Cups?

[Barry Keoghan]

I love it.

[Chuck]

Well, have you noticed that the inside of it tastes different?

[Barry Keoghan]

A bit like fish, right?

[Chuck]

Yeah. They've changed.

[Benny Blanco]

Fish.

[Chuck]

They've changed.

[Barry Keoghan]

No, the formula. Honestly, they taste a bit like fish. I had one the other night.

[Chuck]

They've changed, like, the stuff inside, and the, like, son of the guy or the grandson of the guy who invented Reese's, like, came out and said to. Is it Hershey's? Who? Whatever the company is. They were like, how dare you? Yeah, they're like, go back to the Hershey and Reese's.

[Jack]

Hershey could be old friends.

[Barry Keoghan]

Reese's I love.

[Chuck]

Yeah, yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Absolutely love it.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Reese's I love.

[Barry Keoghan]

I used to melt bounty on a plate. No. Bounty chocolate in the microwave here.

[Jack]

It's like, fabric soft.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Bounty I used to melt in the microwave and just like.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. The English candies. I always. When I go there, I bring so many back.

[Barry Keoghan]

See, I think you are kind of, like, used to it. It. Used to it. Well, you do junk food, like.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, we do.

[Chuck]

Yeah.

[Benny Blanco]

But you guys have your ingredients. Your crisps are great, too. Oh, yeah, you're crisp. You have, like, the best crisps.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, we've. Good.

[Jack]

Did you have a phase in your career where you were, like, a struggling working actor or, like. I don't. Did you have, like, a long chunk before you had a big moment, or did you have a big moment early? I. I don't know. The.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah. Sort of a moment where I was going from just going from stuff to stuff. You know, I didn't ever really have a moment of. Only until I chose to have the moments of not working, you know, from choosing and picking. Yeah.

[Jack]

So you've always.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Jack]

What was your first role?

[Barry Keoghan]

Big one.

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Big one would be a movie called 71 and then Dunkirk.

[Jack]

Oh, you were. Oh, yeah, I said Dunkirk.

[Barry Keoghan]

Oh, I thought you were just saying it. No. Yeah, I was. Dunkirk.

[Jack]

I wasn't saying it because I didn't

[Barry Keoghan]

even know you were. That's nice.

[Chuck]

I thought Dunkirk was a great movie.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah, it was my.

[Chuck]

You were great in it.

[Jack]

Can I be honest about Dunkirk?

[Chuck]

Haven't seen a while.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Tell us your. Honest.

[Barry Keoghan]

I know.

[Jack]

It's my fault. I had trouble understanding it.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah.

[Barry Keoghan]

Cause the time.

[Chuck]

You mean that?

[Jack]

I just had trouble understanding, like, the plot, like, the.

[Chuck]

Like the historical moment of Dunk.

[Jack]

Like, who was who and what people. Like, I just didn't quite. I couldn't. And I like movies that don't spell out, like, this is the plot. So, like. And I. It was Christopher Nolan, right?

[Barry Keoghan]

That's it.

[Jack]

The best director ever. I just, like, couldn't. And maybe sue me if you want, but maybe I have trouble sometimes with accents. Sometimes I really have trouble hearing.

[Barry Keoghan]

Yeah.

[Jack]

And then I. And then I feel like. Because in that movie, am I right, that everybody was uniformed, wearing kind of similar clothing. Maybe it was hard for me to, like, they were.

[Chuck]

You know what the movie's about?

[Benny Blanco]

War.

[Jack]

I know it's about war. There were soldiers in a war. But I didn't. And I don't know.

[Benny Blanco]

I don't know the history of it.

[Jack]

So I don't know the facts. Like, I'm not a good history guy. So I kind of need.

[Benny Blanco]

I know nothing about history.

[Jack]

So I just couldn't work.

[Barry Keoghan]

I'm guilty of that as well. And I wanted to stay naive to it all because my character was. I was like, I don't want to know a whole lot.

[Benny Blanco]

I don't know anything about.

[Chuck]

You learned a lot. Did you learn a lot shooting it?

[Barry Keoghan]

I did. I learned a lot. But I also didn't want to be. I'm not one of those, you know, actors who want to surround myself with all of that information. I've never finished school. I was kicked out of school. So I don't have that background of academic, you know. So I'm not gonna pretend to go and know all about the war and everything else. And it sort of lends itself to me as well. But I chose on that one to really stay naive to it. Cause the character was really naive to it.

[Benny Blanco]

The crazy thing is, I respect you so much more now because you're nothing like any of the people you ever play. Like, most of the time you meet an actor. A lot of the actors we meet,

[Barry Keoghan]

they're carrying a novel. They're like. Like, so, like, you know, to read.

[Benny Blanco]

You're nothing like the guy. You're, like, the most cool down to earth. Like, I love that. Like, you're. You're.

[Chuck]

You're one of us. You're an alien.

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah. Like, I'm like, you know, sometimes we want to hang out with the people. Like, after. Like, I want to keep this thing going. Like, don't you want to keep it going? Oh, my God. I'm going to be in the uk. Will you hang out with me? Or you're just pretending?

[Barry Keoghan]

No. Take my number.

[Benny Blanco]

All of you. Okay. Well, not on air.

Are you standing up to hug?

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, I think.

[Barry Keoghan]

[Benny Blanco]

Yeah, that was so much fun.

[Barry Keoghan]

I was nervous.

[Benny Blanco]

I was a little.

[Barry Keoghan]

We were a little.

[Benny Blanco]

I was.

[Jack]

I wasn't nervous, but he was just.

[Barry Keoghan]

Let me. It was so chill and talk, and it was like. It was really.

[Benny Blanco]

Is this the most fun you've ever

[Jack]

had on a podcast? It's not a podcast.

[Barry Keoghan]

In general. On an interview, podcast, anything.
