Barry Keoghan’s young son is already showing signs of following in his father’s footsteps, both in looks and charm.
The 31-year-old actor, known for his role in "Saltburn," took to Instagram on Sunday, August 10, to share a heartwarming selfie with his 2-year-old son, Brando. In the snapshot, the duo can be seen spending time together, with Brando playing with toys on a table.
Although Brando’s hair is a lighter strawberry-blond shade compared to Keoghan’s, the resemblance between the two is unmistakable. They share the same striking blue eyes and rosy cheeks, making Brando a mini version of the Irish star.
Keoghan gave fans a glimpse into his son's personality through the caption, expressing the traits they share. "He’s more of a charmer than I am. Our wee Brando ☘️🏴," wrote the "Bird" actor, showing his pride in his son.
Brando was welcomed into the world in August 2022 by Keoghan and his former partner, Alyson Sandro. The actor reflected on this life-changing moment during a January 2024 interview with GQ, revealing that he was given a day off from filming "Saltburn" when Brando was born.
"They gave me a day off," Keoghan shared. "Good on them! Day off, and straight on to night shoots and night feedings — boom!"
Naming his son after the legendary Marlon Brando, Keoghan expressed his admiration for the iconic actor. "Brando Keoghan. Imagine that, for a name!" he told GQ, adding that he thought the name was "quite cool" and envisioned his son growing up with a "rock-star attitude."
Fatherhood has profoundly impacted Keoghan, motivating him both personally and professionally. He shared with GQ, "I feel a responsibility, I feel an enormous amount of pressure, which is good. And I can't get the little boy off my mind."
Keoghan emphasized the joy his son brings him, saying, "Y'know, it's crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world."
