Yeah, this is a worst-nightmare kind of thing.
Barry Keoghanis very much the moment right now.
I feel like the man has been everywhere the past few weeks, especially sinceSaltburnhit streaming.
And now, an excerpt from aGQ cover storyis going viral.
Apparently, Barry recently had a life-threatening flesh-eating disease.
A souvenir from a case of necrotizing fasciitisa.k.a.
flesh-eating diseasehe caught a few years ago, right beforeThe Banshees of Inisherinstarted shooting."
“One in five cases are fatal; amputation, he says, was on the table.
He remembers saying to the doctors, But Im not gonna die, right?
and the doctors saying, Well, we dont know.
McDonagh (the director ofBanshees)remembers coming to see him just before shooting was set to begin.”
We were only about four days out from shooting, and his arm was puffed up.
But he was like, Yeah, no, Im going to be fineIll see you on Tuesday.
I went to the hospital thinking, Shitis he going to die?
Let alone, is he going to make the movie.
But I came out of there energized and looking forward to it."
It’s wild because he WAS nominated for an Oscar after that.
Someone on X or Twitter, or whatever, took a screenshot of the scar inSaltburn.
