Actor Barry Keoghan, perhaps best known as the cat killer on RTÉ's gangland drama Love/Hate, has landed some impressive roles as of late.
Not only has he starred in '71 (2013), Standby (2014) and Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (2017) but now he has landed himself a spot in front of the catwalk.
The Dublin man was kitted out by the French label to attend the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2018 show as part of Paris Fashion Week in France this year.
Dior's creative director Kris Van Assche made Keoghan part of his legendary 'style squad' which currently includes Twilight actor Robert Pattinson and Mr Robot actor Rami Malek.
Kris Van Assche spoke to Vogue about his latest collection, saying:
"The first chunk of the collection is about the DNA of Dior, which is the black suit and the white shirt. How do I go about it, how do I reinvent it, make it for the future, and deconstruct it? There’s a lot being said about the suit being over, but I’m totally convinced it’s not. It’s just a question of making the right proposals."
Women's Wear Daily reported that the Spring 2018 show was the actor's first ever fashion show.
"It’s weird, it takes getting used to. But it’s nice, all the different styles," said Barry.
In March of this year, The Hollywood Reporter named Barry Keoghan as "Hollywood's next big thing". In the article, the actor told the journalist that despite his rising stardom, nothing changes when he goes home to his Granny in Dublin 1.
"I'll come home off a film set where I'm getting pampered, and I'll get a slap in the head if I don't make my bed. That's what I love about her."
It looks like we can expect great things from this Dublin man both on and off screen. Stay tuned!
