Saltburn fans, eat your heart out! Barry Keoghan eats organs, bathes in a bath of blood and reads Twilight in vampire-inspired shoot as he reveals watching his nude scene boosted his confidence


The Irish actor, 31, was instructed by his Saltburn director Emerald Fennell, who took inspiration from the famous line in their film, 'Lucky for you, I'm a vampire.'

Emerald was keen not to push him into doing anything he felt uncomfortable with, explaining: 'The thing for me is, if you want to make stuff that’s close to the bone, that’s outrageous and fun and camp and silly, you need to create a space where people feel like they’re safe, that they’re not being shoved off a cliff and that we’re all doing it together. Since then he has appeared in a string of famous films including The Batman, Eternals, American Animals, the TV series Chernobyl, and the Golden Globe winning The Banshees of Inisherin, which has seen him tipped for an Oscar nomination.
