If Barry Keoghan had gone down the wrong path, nobody around him would have been surprised. But the Irishman made it out of a problem area in north Dublin and onto the international Hollywood stage. Now he’s nominated for an Oscar for the first time.
Barry Keoghan’s story sounds as if Hollywood’s screenwriters hit the keys themselves. In fact, it was written in Dublin, more precisely in the problem area of Summerhill. Battered by poverty and hopelessness, the borough has been in the headlines of Irish newspapers for some time. The violence that emanates from youth gangs there is particularly dramatic. One of Summerhill’s sons managed to get out of the neighborhood and into a Hollywood career. And that under the most adverse circumstances.
