Barry Keoghan made a heartfelt tribute to his late mother at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, wearing a silver bracelet engraved with her name. The 31-year-old Irish actor attended the festival for a second day to promote his latest film, Bird.
Keoghan dressed in a simple white T-shirt tucked into pinstriped tailored trousers, accessorised with black sunglasses and dress shoes. The bracelet, bearing his mother's name, was a poignant addition as he walked the red carpet.
His mother died over 19 years ago from a heroin overdose. Keoghan and his brother subsequently spent time in over 13 foster homes before being taken in by their grandmother and aunt. The actor has spoken openly about his mother's addiction and death, telling GQ magazine: 'My mother, always. She’s many years passed now, but I always think about her anyway. It’s always just in and around achievements that it’s really prominent cause you’d like to celebrate that with her you know?'
Earlier in the festival, Keoghan posed with young co-star Jackie Mellor on the red carpet, wearing a smart grey blazer with a black collar and tailored black trousers, paired with a pleated white shirt.
