Barry Keoghan unveiled his new Beatles-inspired look at the European premiere of Crime 101 at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old Irish actor stepped out with a distinctly mid-Sixties Merseybeat hairstyle, bearing a striking resemblance to Ringo Starr's iconic early-era haircut. Keoghan appeared fully aware of the transformation, frequently adjusting his hair for the cameras and at one point wrapping a scarf around his face as he hurried onto the carpet straight from filming.
At the screening, the Saltburn star was joined by his Crime 101 co-stars Monica Barbaro, Halle Berry, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. The heist thriller lands in cinemas next month.
Keoghan's transformation into Starr is part of an ambitious four-film project directed by Sam Mendes, telling the story of each Beatles member from their own perspective. The biopic is not expected to arrive until April 2028 and has been described by Mendes as the 'first bingeable theatrical experience'.
Casting was officially confirmed in 2025, with Keoghan as Starr, Paul Mescal as McCartney, Joseph Quinn as Harrison and Harris Dickinson as Lennon. Speaking ahead of the announcement, Starr said he was excited about the project and added, regarding Keoghan's potential casting, 'I believe he's somewhere taking drum lessons. I hope not too many.'
