And it\u2019s not nice. There\u2019s a lot of hate online. It\u2019s a lot of abuse of how I look. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say this being absolute pure and honest to you: It\u2019s becoming a problem. So yeah, I don\u2019t have to hide away because I am hiding away. I don\u2019t have to go to places because I actually don\u2019t go to places because of these things. But when that starts leaking into your art, it becomes a problem because then you don\u2019t even want to be on screen anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barry is also worried about his three-year-old son Brando growing up and reading the comments.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cIt is disappointing for the fans, but it\u2019s also disappointing that my little boy has to read all of this stuff when he gets older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBack in 2024, Keoghan deactivated his Instagram account due to \u201clies, hatred and disgusting commentary\u201d over his split from Sabrina Carpenter.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe wrote on X: \u201cI can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don&#8217;t respond to.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI have to respond now because it&#8217;s getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work. The messages I have received \u2013 no person should ever have to read them.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAbsolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/barry-keoghan-lot-hate-online-lot-abuse-look-1439524.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 March 2026 Barry Keoghan has considered quitting acting due to abuse over his looks.
