Barry Keoghan’s Oscar experience didn't get off to the best start as the airline he was flying with lost his suitcase containing ‘sentimental’ items he had packed for the glittering awards.
The Irish actor, who lives in Dundee, launched a scathing rant on social media aimed at British Airways for its ‘bad customer service’ after losing his belongings en route to Los Angeles, writes The Irish Mirror.
Barry said that he had brought ‘tons of sentimental stuff’ for the event on Sunday and said the airline could not ‘seem to be helpful in one bit’.
Keoghan flew out to the states for the 95th Academy awards as he is nominated for the best-supporting actor for his role in the dark Irish comedy The Banshees Of Inisherin.
The star took to Twitter on Wednesday to express his anger. He penned: “Lost my suitcase with @British_Airways and they can’t seem to be any way helpful in one bit.
“Here In LA for the Oscars and had tons of sentimental stuff I wanted to wear and bring with me. Such bad customer service. Sent me to LAX to tell me they can’t help me. Tut tut.”
British Airways responded to his tweet with an automated message which read: "We're sorry to hear what happened. Please send us your WorldTracer bag reference number via DM along with as much information as possible so we can take a closer look. We may need to ask you a few more questions for data protection."
Keoghan’s best-supporting actor nod is his first Oscar nomination and will see him go head-to-head with Banshees co-star Brendan Gleeson in the category.
He previously won the Bafta for best supporting actor for his performance in the film, in which he plays the dim-witted Dominic Kearney.
