The Irish actor, who is playing Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles tetralogy, told SiriusXM host Ben Harlum that though he left social media in 2024 due to online abuse, it was still so bad that he was “shying away” from the public eye – and it was making him want to retreat from acting.
“There’s a lot of hate online. There’s a lot of abuse of how I look, and it’s kind of past the point of: ‘Everyone goes through that.’ And everyone does, but it’s made me shy away. It’s made me really go inside myself, not want to attend places, not want to go outside. And I say this being absolute pure and honest to you – it’s becoming a problem,” he said.
Keoghan said he is now “hiding away” due the abuse.
“I actually don’t go to places because of these things,” he added. “But when that starts leaking into your art, it becomes a problem, because then you don’t want to even be on screen any more.”
