Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan has spoken candidly about the devastating effects of online abuse over his appearance, revealing it has become so severe that he now avoids going outside. The Irish star, who portrays Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes' highly anticipated Beatles tetralogy, told SiriusXM host Ben Harlum that although he left social media in 2024, the criticism persists and is taking a real toll on both his personal life and career.
Keoghan explained that stepping away from social media did not entirely shield him from the harsh scrutiny of the public. He admitted that curiosity about how his work is received still draws him in, often exposing him to negativity.
