Dublin actor Barry Keoghan has continued a remarkable year by securing a place among the rising stars on US entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen Talent 2017 list.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dunkirk actor is included alongside Stranger Things' Millie Bobbie Brown, Game of Thrones' Nathalie Emmanuel, Manchester by the Sea Oscar nominee Lucas Hedges, Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya and Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Kelly Marie Tran on the 20-strong list.
When asked by The Hollywood Reporter why he had chosen acting as a career, Keoghan replied in typically prosaic style: "I was like, 'I'll get paid? Sure, I can do this s***'."
The 25-year-old chose Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio as the people he most wants to work with, and said he would love to have starred in Batman and Robin as Robin.
