The actor, who has been cast as Ringo Starr, has been enjoying his time in Liverpool away from filming
Barry Keoghan issued an emotional update as he opened up about filming in Liverpool. The 33-year-old has been cast as Ringo Starr in the eagerly anticipated Beatles cinematic event series.
Sir Sam Mendes is adapting the Fab Four's story in what promises to be the definitive account of how the lads from Liverpool conquered the world. The upcoming films are particularly exciting as it is the first time The Beatles and Apple Corps Ltd. have authorised the use of the band members’ life stories and music to be used in a scripted movie.
In addition to Barry, Paul Mescal has been cast as Sir Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. Barry has been pictured in character as the legendary drummer as filming for the upcoming movies has taken over the city over recent weeks.
The actor said it has been special to be on location in the city where it all started for The Beatles. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said: "It's an absolute joy. We're up in Liverpool filming now so that's sort of a thing in itself.
