Jacob Elordi & Barry Keoghan on Hollywood, Future Films & ‘Making It’ | In Conversation

“BAFTA-winning Barry Keoghan - that sounds good!” Jacob Elordi booms as he sits down with his award-winning Saltburn co-star for Vogue. The leading men (and good friends) agree that it’s Emerald Fennell (or “Em” as they call her) who drew them to the project following Promising Young Woman’s history-making success at the Oscars, but they have more than a deep respect for the auteur in common; they’re both Power Rangers and Game Boy Advance fans as well.

Barry has never played a boring character. I love everything this man does

[@stabcitySB]

Agree completely. The irony is that he was cast in a gangland drama tv show here in Dublin called Love/Hate and shortly after got himself into a bit of trouble with the law, all over the rag papers and I thought to myself, “what a pity, he showed real raw talent and he’s off down the wrong path”. Little did I know, and I’m thrilled for the man.

[@BreeAnaPrieto-wv6mt]

Very much so!!

[@chriswyatt9869]

Dunkirk he wasn’t anything special. Also in eternals, he was decent and probably one of the best characters but the screenplay was still so dull that he couldn’t save it

[@mehmeetzengin]

Jacob is such a talented actor, I’m glad he’s being recognized for his acting ability along with being so handsome, he has so much charisma as well. Jacob and Barry seem like they’re good mates as well.

[@link-so9wn]

Bad actor his height saves him

[@jaja-wg3si]

I think the casting of Jacob Elordi for saltburn was so brilliant. As we all know his previous characters have been this horrible people and I think it contributed to the surprise effect(? that in a way saltburn had regarding the plot

[@silviaetna9874]

Watch the movie again: he is not a really good guy in this one either. But I really enjoyed his performance like every other actor by the way…

[@birdchurch9488]

@@birdchurch9488 you see him through Barry’s character’s eyes… He is the sun for him so yes he might not be the worst of the bunch but he isn’t much different from his mom. Picking up strays to feel good…strange relationship with his sister and so on..

[@akirebara]

I just got out of the theatre after watching Saltburn. Oooooh baby. I'm so glad nothing got sppiled for me. It's a riot. Dark, DARK comedy. Another brilliant performance from Barry Keoghan. He is my Roman Empire now.

Emperor?

I’ve been such a massive Jacob fan for a while now (for more than just his good looks of course!) and I’m so happy to have been introduced to Barry! These two are magic together. I really love to know that the actors really enjoy each other outside of the film, it always adds an extra air of chemistry! Such a great film that I will watch again and again❤️❤️

What else? He’s not talented and only tall.

[@kaseyshea]

@@ellobo4290 he’s very talented! Have you watched Priscilla or Saltburn? I think the work speaks for itself I don’t feel the need to divulge further

[@ellobo4290]

@@kaseyshea I’ve seen Priscilla and Sweet East and there wasn’t nothing remarkable. I think you only find him a good actor if you were a fan of his before. He doesn’t come close to say Barry or his peers. But you stated you’ve been a fan for a long time so you’re biased.

[@kaseyshea]

@@ellobo4290 Well I’d suggest giving Saltburn a watch and even Euphoria. I had to have reasons to become a fan in the first place so I don’t believe that disqualifies my opinion. Respectfully agree to disagree

[@ACinDorset]

Saltburn #1 in both the UK and USA today on Amazon Prime. Well done on creating a brilliant film. I am not sure if the cast and all involved have yet realised that they have created a genuinely classic movie.
