Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan's first ever director has opened up about the "humble and kind-hearted" Oscar nominee and shared a precious photo of the pair from 13 years ago.
Barry attended Belvedere Youth Club as a teenager and landed his first ever acting role in their production of Hairspray in 2010. After "smashing" his audition, Barry landed the part of Link Larkin and went on to give an incredible performance during the live shows.
The 30-year-old has been nominated for best supporting actor at this weekend's Academy Awards for his performance as Dominic Kearney in the Banshees of Inisherin.
