Barry Keoghan is opening up about how being labeled “ugly” affected him while he was dating Sabrina Carpenter.
In a clip posted to TikTok from the Louis Theroux podcast on November 5, the actor shared that some of the comments directed at him about his appearance were “disgusting.”
“Some of the comments about my appearance were completely out of character and completely disgusting,” Keoghan began.
That’s when Theroux interjected and said he read nothing but good things about the actor’s appearance.
“Do you feel like you’re being trolled,” Theroux asked Keoghan.
Keoghan replied: “In general, everyone is on the Internet and you’d be worse off going ahead and searching. I don’t know. What a sad way to differentiate someone’s appearance.”
“People can sit there, take a video and say ‘I don’t like his face. He looks weird or evil looking’ and pick you apart.”
Keoghan then concluded by saying that he shouldn’t go online, but sometimes his curiosity gets the best of him.
Keoghan and Carpenter dated since July 2023 before going public with their romance in February 2024. The actor starred in Carpenter’s music video for “Please Please”, here becoming her first number one single on the chart Billboard Hot100 chart.
Since going public, the pair have complimented each other, with Keoghan recently sharing his excitement for Carpenter and her Grammy Award nominations.
“I don’t know anyone who works that hard, you know, I just admire watching her work and her dedication and the standards that she sets. Especially being in that music video , she knows the vision and what she wants.” “, he told SiriusXM.
Before dating Carpenter, Keoghan broke up with Alyson Kierans, with whom he shares a son.
