When he was little, Barry Keoghan and his brother, Eric, bounced around from one foster home to another. During an appearance on “Ireland Unfiltered with Dion Fanning,” the actor revealed that they were rehomed due to their mother’s struggles with drug addiction. Keoghan recalled the moment he was first put in foster care, sharing, “It wasn’t nice. It’s not ever nice, kids being taken from their parents.” He added, “There was an office in Mountjoy Square and you’d go and wait there. I remember a little toy section down the back and a little play area.”
The “Dunkirk” star lived in 13 foster homes from the age of five to 12. Fortunately, Keoghan confirmed on “The Late Late Show” that every family he and his brother were a part of treated them well which, if anything, made it more difficult when they had to leave. “As a kid, you don’t know what’s happening. You get attached […] and then boom. Let’s move over here. I don’t have a hometown, that’s what I’m saying,” he explained. Sadly, being moved around various foster homes only scratched the surface of the actor’s difficult childhood.
