Barry Keoghan has shared a rare photo with his son, Brando and boy, does the toddler look just like him!
Barry took to Instagram on August 19, uploading a sweet selfie with his two-year-old, who is seen playing with a dinosaur toy. Despite sporting light, strawberry blonde hair, the baby boy is practically his dad’s mini-me, having inherited his bright blue eyes.
“He’s more of a charmer than i am. Our wee Brando ,” Barry captioned the post.
Michelle Pfieffer even acknowledged the likeness, commenting, “Has your eyes.”
Barry went viral last year when he gushed over his son in an interview with Jacob Elordi for British Vogue. At the time, he told his Saltburn co-star that “Having my boy” was his “I made it moment.” Aw!
Barry has also opened up about his son’s name in the past, confirming to GQ that he was named after iconic actor, Marlon Brando.
“Brando Keoghan. Imagine that, for a name!” he told the publication. “I set him up. Brando Keoghan, piano player. I obviously love Marlon Brando, but I just, yeah‚or a first name I thought it was quite cool. To have Brando in your name—feckin’ hell, man!”
Who Is Barry Keoghan's Ex, Alyson Sandro?
Barry Keoghan welcomed his son with ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro in August 2022. Barry and Alyson, a Scottish dental nurse and orthodontic therapist, first met at a London pub in February 2021 and started dating soon after.
The pair were together for around three years—and even attended the 2023 Oscars together—before quietly calling it quits in mid-2023, a year after Brando was born. The pair were incredibly private about their split, with the only comment coming from Barry in the aforementioned GQ article. The actor praised Alyson’s parenting, telling the magazine, “She’s done a great job and she’s an incredible mother.”
Not long after the relationship came to an end, Barry was linked to burgeoning pop star, Sabrina Carpenter in December 2023. The duo have been surrounded by breakup rumours throughout August, but are yet to confirm any news of their relationship status (more on that here).
