Barry Keoghan – Six Degrees Of Separation!

Barry Keoghan

He’s widely recognised as one of the finest acting talents in the land, has scored acclaimed turns on big and small screen, and is even set to dive into the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year with The Eternals; not bad for a fella who only just turned 27! Life it pretty sweet for Dublin’s own Barry Keoghan…

 

And though youth might be on his side, he’s already assembling the CV of a legit Hollywood heavyweight – and his network of co-stars and collaborators is proof of that! Join us as we run through his resumé, and check out the tangled web he’s already woven…

 

AMERICAN ANIMALS

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies, from €2.99

 

 

A black comedy based on the true story of a college library heist – honestly, it’s far more exciting than it sounds! – was a departure from Keoghan’s usual fare, but proved to be one of the sleeper hits of 2018. It saw him strutting his stuff alongside partner-in-crime Evan Peters, well known from his lycra-clad efforts as Quicksilver in…

 

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies, from €2.99

 

 

The first film in the franchise to be nominated for an Oscar saw Peters make his superhero bow as Peter Maximoff, he of the spectacular speed. It’s generally considered one of the finest outings for the motley mutant crew, and when you consider the talent on show, that’s saying something; co-stars included Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry – the last of whom was recently seen in…

 

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 3 – PARABELLUM

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies, from €4.99

 

 

Even the most heroic hitman can’t always go it alone – so thank goodness our John had brilliant backup to call on in the form of Sofia, a pal who combines hotel management with high kicks! Her all-action efforts drew praise from star Keanu Reeves in the recent issue of PLAY Magazine, who we’re guessing was himself in need of a break, since he was next spotted as part of…

 

TOY STORY 4

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies, from €4.99

 

 

OK, so Duke Caboom might have been a stuntman – but at least Keanu got to do all his business from the comfort of a recording studio! The latest dose of Pixar perfection is another magical blend of awesome animation, hilarious humour, mega music and emotional heft. Even in 2019, you can still bank on Disney to produce the goods – as was well demonstrated with…

 

DUMBO

Showing on Sky Cinema from November 29th

 

 

The flying elephant won hearts and minds for the first time nearly 80 years ago – so it says something about the power of the story that it’s just as charming today! The success of the latest incarnation, of course, isn’t just about the terrific tale; it’s also the vision of director Tim Burton, the spectacular CGI, and the perfomance of our own Colin Farrell – who shared scenes with compatriot Barry Keoghan in…

 

THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER

Available to rent now on Virgin Movies, from €2.99

 

 

Take the irreverent ingenuity of Yorgos Lanthinos, a star-studded cast which sees the likes of Nicole Kidman alongside our Irish lads, and a story that will have you captivated from start to finish, and you’ve got a recipe for success! This dark and mysterious dramedy is as unnerving as it is unique, and a reminder of just why the Greek director – and his young Irish star! – are the toast of Hollywood…
