Barry Keoghan Was Arrested In Dublin For Public Intoxication
29-year-old Barry Keoghan, who is in Eternals, Dunkirk, and played the Joker in a deleted scene from The Batman, got into some trouble in northern Ireland and was busted for allegedly being a drunken annoying mess. People says that Barry was arrested earlier this month by Irish police after they got calls about him causing a scene on a balcony. Basically, he’s allegedly the drunken Evita of Ireland.
Last August, Barry was taken to the hospital after he was attacked in Galway. He was found with “serious facial injuries” and was taken to hospital before being later released. Back then, Barry cryptically wrote on Instagram: “Note to self, I told you so. Sincerely, Your Intuition.” Barry hasn’t written anything on Instagram about his drunken arrest yet, but if he did, maybe he’d say something like: “Note to self, don’t get drunk on balconies. Sincerely, The Irish Police, The Laws of Gravity, And Common Sense.” Here’s more info from People about Barry’s booze bust:
The 29-year-old Irish actor… was arrested at about 6:45 a.m. on Sunday, April 10, according to local news outlet independent.ie.
He was later released without charge and issued with a fixed charged notice, authorities told the outlet and The Wrap.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána, the Republic of Ireland’s national police service, declined to comment.Reps for Keoghan did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
A source told independent.ie that officers responded to calls about a “man on a balcony in an intoxicated state” at an apartment building near where one of Keoghan’s relatives lives. Per the outlet’s source: “When [officers] arrived, [Keoghan] wasn’t threatening in any way but was arrested and brought to the … station, where he was dealt with before being released. The matter is finalized and nothing more will come of it.”
Well, it looks like Barry’s only option for DC-slash-Marvel crossover appeal isn’t just in his acting roles. If he ever goes out with fellow superhero actor, The Flash’s Ezra Miller who was just arrested in Hawaii for being messy at a bar, the two can get drunkenly arrested together! The Flash getting arrested with Druig?! The Wattpad fan-fictions would have content for weeks!
