Barry Keoghan is set to fly out to the glitzy Oscars' ceremony in Hollywood later this week after being nominated for an award for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, but despite his success the actor has championed charity work in Ireland.
In March 2022, Barry was announced as an ambassador for Kildare camp Barretstown, which is for children and their families that are living with serious illness. He helped the charity to launch its new state-of-the-art Aladina Studios, which encourages children availing of its services to try acting while at camp.
Speaking about the studio launch last year, Barry said “Acting has always been an outlet for me, and I love it – which is why I’m so proud to come on board as an ambassador for Barretstown and to be a part of this incredible new studio launch. The studio will allow Barretstown children the same opportunity to express themselves creatively and have some really great fun doing it.
