Crazy for Barry

Barry Keoghan becomes the latest brand ambassador for Burberry

- By AARON CABEZA

Barry Keoghan first made waves worldwide for his role in Christophe­r Nolan’s World War II film Dunkirk. He has also gained widespread recognitio­n for his performanc­e in The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Eventually, his acting prowess landed him a BAFTA for his supporting role in The Banshees of Inisherin. He also received a BAFTA nomination for his starring role in his recent project Saltburn.

As such, it’s only fitting that such a bespoke actor lands a role as the latest brand ambassador for a top-tier fashion line like Burberry.

“I’ve been a fan of Burberry for many years now. It’s such an iconic heritage brand with innovation at its heart, and a commitment to supporting arts and culture,” says the young actor. “I’m very excited to be a part of this next chapter.” Last year, Barry attended the Burberry summer 2024 show and the Met Gala as a guest of Burberry. He also wore the label at the European premiere of Apple TV+’S Masters of the Air and the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards. Keoghan was also present during the brand’s winter 2024 show.

Burberry’s chief creative officer Daniel Lee speaks highly of their newfound partnershi­p with Barry. “I’ve known Barry for over five years now and have watched him grow into one of his generation’s most talented actors. His raw, unique talent is incredibly inspiring and perfectly reflects the spirit of our brand. I am proud to welcome him to the Burberry family.”

Now you too can dress like Keoghan by visiting any of the Burberry stores nationwide. In the Philippine­s, the stores are at Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Shangri-la, Solaire Resorts and Casino, and Nustar Resort and Casino. trunc.ph.
