Barry Keoghan wants to put the “deadbeat dad” allegations to rest.
The 27-year-old actor spoke about the criticism he’s received online for being an alleged absent father to two-year-old Brando on Tuesday’s episode of the Louis Theroux Podcast.
“There’s a lot online. If I didn’t have tough skin or the strength I have, I wouldn’t be sitting here,” the Saltburn star said at the 44:07 mark at the link above. “Of course it’s going to affect me being a father when I had no blueprint to take from. And people just read that laziness and go, ‘Oh, that’s no excuse to be an absent father.’ I’m not an absent father, you know what I mean? People love to use my son as… like an ammunition.”
He continued, noting that reigning in content about his son enabled his detractors online to say “more disgusting things” that sicken him.
“The more attention I’ve got lately and the more in the public have become, the less I’ve posted about my child because I don’t think it’s fair to put my child online to sick people out there,” Keoghan added.
The Oscar nominee also mentioned that he’s been staying away from the comments sections, especially when preparing for a role. However, he admits his curiosity has gotten the best of him from time-to-time.
“Less of my phone is best, you know? I’m in the zone, and that’s a therapeutic kind of process for me and a relief and an excuse not to be near it. But again, when I’ve got a bit of time, I am a curious being like all of us. And you want to kind of sometimes know what, especially when it’s slander and when it’s bad comments attacking my parents or attacking me as a father,” Keoghan said.
“I’ve even blocked out certain words because I don’t want to read that. Just like stuff like my son and I just, people don’t deserve to put that in a sentence. Anything. I’m just trying to make a living, trying to get some good body of work and create a safety for my child.”
Keoghan shares his son with ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro. According to People, the couple first met in February 2021 and became parents to Brando in August 2022. They reportedly split in the summer of 2023, but Keoghan referred to Sandro as “an incredible mother” in an interview with GQ in January.
The actor, who is currently dating 25-year-old Sabrina Carpenter, reportedly first crossed paths with the pop singer last September during a Paris Fashion Week event. As noted by People, their relationship became increasingly public with outings, a Grammys afterparty, and shared kisses. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in March, followed by appearances at Coachella and the Met Gala.
Keoghan also attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Singapore to catch Carpenter serve as the opening act and later starred in her “Please Please Please” music video in June.
Rumors of Keoghan’s alleged absence as a father were seemingly intensified after Sandro liked a number of Instagram comments about raising a child “practically” by herself, as noted by BuzzFeed.
The actor shared a snapshot of his son to his Instagram account in August, captioned, “He’s more of a charmer than i am. Our wee Brando ☘️🏴.”
