Barry Keoghan Pays Touching Tribute to Late Mother at New York Premiere

Dublin actor Barry Keoghan honoured his late mother at the New York premiere of his latest film, Hurry Up Tomorrow.

Walking the red carpet, Keoghan wore a silver bracelet engraved with the name "Debbie," a touching nod to his mother, who passed away when he was 12.

The psychological thriller, in which Keoghan stars alongside Jenna Ortega and Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd), is set to hit Irish cinemas this Friday. The film delves into the life of an insomniac musician, offering audiences a gripping narrative.

Keoghan has previously spoken about the significance of the bracelet, sharing that he initially chose it as a costume piece for a film, only to realise it bore his mother's name. "That’s a sign. That is a feckin sign!" he remarked, deciding to keep the bracelet as a personal keepsake.

Growing up in Dublin's Summerhill, Keoghan and his brother experienced time in foster care before being raised by their grandmother and aunt. His journey from those early challenges to international acclaim serves as an inspiration, and his tribute at the premiere underscores the enduring bond he shares with his mother.
