Barry Keoghan spoke out against criticism of him being an absent father on an episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, expressing frustration over online allegations impacting his reputation as a parent. “I’m not an absent father,” he insisted. The actor believes the allegations stem from him posting fewer photos of 2-year-old Brando due to the increased public attention. “Because I reigned that in, people draw a narrative and go, ‘Absent father, s—, deadbeat dad,’ and more disgusting things I wouldn’t even repeat. Just the audacity of some people, man, it sickens me. It makes me furious.” He added that “these people have no indication” of what he’s like as a dad. (People)
