Just days before stepping onto the set of 'The Banshees of Inisherin,' Keoghan's arm swelled alarmingly. The condition, as described by the CDC, is a merciless invader that can lead to death. "I’m going to be fine—I’ll see you on Tuesday," Keoghan bravely assured director Martin McDonagh, despite the looming threat of amputation and mortality.
Despite the scare, Keoghan graced the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards, a testament to his resilience. The scar trailing up his arm now stands as a badge of honor – a reminder of the ordeal he triumphed over as he continues to captivate audiences and critics alike.
In his latest feature for 'GQ,' you can catch a glimpse of Keoghan's distinctive arm markings.
From scene-stealer to leading man
Fresh off his harrowing experience, Keoghan took on 'Saltburn,' a tale of privilege and desire, marking his first lead role. "It's my first lead role, and the first time I had to really step up," Keoghan reflected, determined to prove his mettle as a leading man in Hollywood.
