Barry Keoghan Shares Adorable Selfie with Look-a-Like Son Brando: ‘He’s More a Charmer Than I Am’

The 'Saltburn' star welcomed his son with ex Alyson Sandro in August 2022

Barry Keoghan's son is already taking after his father in more ways than one!

The Saltburn star, 31, posted a selfie with his son, Brando, on Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 10. In the photo, he posed alongside the 2-year-old as the little boy played with toys on a table.

Although Brando has strawberry-blond hair that is lighter than his dad's, he is clearly a mini version of the Irish actor. The pair share the same bright blue eyes and rosy cheeks.

Keoghan gave insight into his son's personality in the caption, and it seems the duo have some irresistible traits in common.

"He’s more of a charmer than I am. Our wee Brando ????????????????," the Bird actor captioned the photo.

Keoghan and ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro welcomed Brando in August 2022. The actor told GQ in a January 2024 interview that he got a day off from filming Saltburn when Brando was born.

"They gave me a day off," the Masters of the Air star said. "Good on them! Day off, and straight on to night shoots and night feedings — boom!"

"It was probably the best time of my life, to be fair. Havin' a baby boy, and leadin' a movie. It was the best time of my life, I must say," he added.

Keoghan revealed that he named his son after Marlon Brando, whom he has long admired.

"Brando Keoghan. Imagine that, for a name!" Keoghan told GQ. "I set him up. Brando Keoghan, piano player. I obviously love Marlon Brando, but I just, yeah — for a first name I thought it was quite cool. To have Brando in your name — feckin' hell, man!"

The Oscar nominee admitted that being named for such an iconic Hollywood star could potentially come with a lot of pressure, but he believes his son is up to the challenge.

"He's got a lot to live up to, that kid. But he'll live up to it. He has to have that leather jacket and rock-star attitude, you know what I mean? He'll have a motorbike when he's 12, I think," he joked.

Being a dad motivates Keoghan. He told the outlet he is fueled by the pressure that comes with having someone relying on him and by the joy that Brando brings him.

"I feel a responsibility, I feel an enormous amount of pressure, which is good. And I can't get the little boy off my mind," he explained.

"Y'know, it's crazy, but when he looks at you, you feel like the most important person in the world. That's the effect he has on me," he continued. "He smiles at you and you're like, 'Wow. You're smiling at me like that? I don't deserve that, but anyways, thanks.' "
