Fresh from his Oscars nomination for 'The Banshees of Inisherin', Irish actor Barry Keoghan is turning his attention back towards a dream assignment: a new feature retelling of the story of Billy the Kid
. “This approach is something new, and it’s a version of the tale we hope the world will want to see.”
Keoghan, who lost his own mother when he was just 12 years old and grew up in the foster system, says he understood the pressures McCarty faced that edged him toward a life of crime and the desperate choices he made that resulted. What he found in the margins was what intrigued him. “I wanted to step outside of the legend that was built up by the papers and tackle the pressure he must have felt from those early days. He was running his whole life. I felt related to Billy in the sense of him being a mummy’s boy, but obviously, I took a different path, turning my circumstances into something positive rather than rebelling against them.
