Barry Keoghan posts less about his son on social media since trolls started calling him a ‘deadbeat dad’<\/p>\n
The ‘Saltburn’ star became a father two years ago to his and ex-partner Alyson Kierans’ son Brando, and the 32-year-old actor recently opened up about his own absent father and how he doesn’t have a \u201cnormal father-son relationship\u201d with his little boy because he didn’t have a “blueprint” to take from his own dad.<\/p>\n
And he admits that if he didn’t have a “tough skin”, he wouldn’t be able to cope with the number of nasty comments he gets on social media, particularly the ones accusing him of being an “absent father”.<\/p>\n
Appearing on ‘The Louis Theroux Podcast’, he said: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot online. If I didn\u2019t have tough skin or the strength to have, I wouldn\u2019t be sitting here.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, [his childhood is] going to affect me being a father when I had no blueprint to take from. People just read that [as] laziness and go, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s no excuse to be an absent father.\u2019 I\u2019m not an absent father. But it\u2019s just, again, people love to use my son as ammunition or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe continued: \u201cAnd it kind of leads me to stop, the more attention I\u2019ve [gotten] lately and the more in the public I\u2019ve become, the less I\u2019ve posted about my child, because I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to put my child online. And because I reigned that in, people draw a narrative and go, \u2018Absent father, s***, deadbeat dad,\u2019 and more disgusting things I wouldn\u2019t even repeat. Just the audacity of some people, man. It sickens me, makes me furious.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWhen Louis suggested Barry should stop going on social media, he insisted he’s “curious” about the “slander” being spread about his character and his appearance.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he has used the blocked words feature so he doesn’t see the comments that affect him the most.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cWhen I\u2019ve got a bit of time, I am a curious being like all of us, and you want to know what [people are saying online], especially when it\u2019s slander and when it\u2019s bad comments attacking my appearance or attacking me as a father. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019ve even blocked out certain words because I don\u2019t want to read that. Stuff like my son \u2013 people don\u2019t deserve to put that in a sentence, anything. I\u2019m just trying to make a living, trying to get a good body of work and create safety for my child.\u201d<\/p>\n
