Ringo Starr Has A Brilliant Reaction To Barry Keoghan Playing Him In New Beatles Biopic

It was first reported in June that Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes was working on four separate films that would tell the story of The Beatles, each focusing on a different member of the group.

At the time, it was reported that the Saltburn star would play Ringo, and while this is yet to be confirmed, the man himself appeared to let the cat out of the bag during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I think it’s great,” the Grammy-nominated musician said when asked about Barry playing him on screen.

He also joked: “I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.”

Sam Mendes – best known for helming films like 1917, Spectre and American Beauty – said in a statement that he was “honoured to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies”.

The Beatles have previously been depicted in numerous films and shows over the years, most notably 2009’s Nowhere Boy – a biopic about John Lennon, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the Imagine singer – and 1994’s Backbeat, which depicted the Beatles’ early days.

Sabrina Carpenter Ends Coachella Set With Racy Shout-Out For Barry Keoghan

Sabrina ended her performance on Saturday with a rendition of her hit Nonsense – including a rewritten version of the song’s outro with new lyrics that reference Barry’s film Saltburn.

“Made his knees so weak he had to spread mine, he’s drinking my bath water like it’s red wine,” she said.

The new lyric, of course, references one of Barry’s most iconic Saltburn scenes, in which his character Oliver Quick drinks the remnants of his friend Felix Catton’s bath water from a drain, after spotting him masturbating in the tub.

Sabrina and Barry were first rumoured to be an item at the end of last year.

Back in January, it was reported in the press that they had been planning to “hard launch” their relationship at the Golden Globes, where he was a nominee.

Before his rumoured romance with Sabrina, Barry was in a relationship with orthodontic therapist Alyson Kierans, with whom he shares a one-year-old son, Brando.

As well as Barry-related lyrics, Sabrina’s rewritten Nonsense outro ended: “Coachella see you back here when I headline.”

BBC Comes Under Fire Over Uncomfortable Andrew Scott Interview On Baftas Red Carpet

An uncomfortable clip of Andrew Scott being interviewed about Barry Keoghan’s Saltburn nude scene on the Baftas red carpet has been met with criticism on social media.

On Sunday night, the Fleabag star was a guest at this year’s Baftas, where his latest movie All Of Us Strangers was nominated for six awards, including Outstanding British Film and an acting nod for co-star Paul Mescal.

As he made his way into the event, Andrew spoke briefly to the BBC, where things took an awkward turn after he was asked about his friendship with Saltburn star and fellow Irish performer Barry Keoghan.

“I know Barry, yeah!” Andrew said when asked about the Saltburn star, prompting the BBC’s reporter to immediately ask for his “reaction when you first saw the naked dance scene at the end of Saltburn”.

After attempting to brush off the question, the BBC’s red carpet reporter then continued: “There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?”

At that point, Andrew tried to laugh off the question before walking on to speak to another journalist on the red carpet.

However, when a clip of the exchange began doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), racking up almost 100,000 views in just a few hours, many users took issue with the BBC’s dubious line of questioning:

HuffPost UK has contacted the BBC for comment.

During the ceremony, Andrew and his fellow All Of Us Strangers actor Paul Mescal presented the award for Best Animated Feature to the latest offering from Studio Ghibli, The Boy And The Heron.
