In the latter half of 2023, Barry Keoghan was seen with fellow upcoming star Jacob Elordi in their filmSaltburn, which has, since its release, been making the rounds in critic circles as one of the best films of the year. The success of the film is being credited to filmmaker Emerald Fennell, and the two lead stars, of course.
In fact, the performances of the leading actors have enamored the audience as well as the critics, who have all hailed Keoghan for arguably his best performance yet. But contrary to assumptions, the star was never the first pick for the lead as Timothée Chalamet was the first choice for the role of Oliver Quick, but Elordi suggested that Keoghan be given a chance as well.
Jacob Elordi Suggested Barry Keoghan Instead Of Timothée Chalamet For The Lead Role InSaltburn
While the stars may have been making names for themselves for a while in the industry through different projects,Jacob ElordiandBarry Keoghanhave been making the rounds recently in conversation circles for their amazing performances in the equally well-received filmSaltburn. With such recognition for their roles, it seems like the casting of the leads was perfect from the start.
In the recent video byBritish Vogue, we can see theEternalsstar with Elordi, where they were having conversations on different topics as well as the things they had in common. Here, theEuphoriastar revealed that filmmaker Emerald Fennell had asked for Timothée Chalamet for the role as the main lead.
But when Elordi heard the director’s wish, he suggested that Keoghan should be kept in consideration as well. He said:
“It was Emerald. Then, she said she wanted Timothée Chalamet for it, and I said “have you though of Barry Keoghan?'”
In the same video, when asked what drew Keoghan to their latest film, he said that the script, the filmmaker, and his co-star were the reason why he became part of the film.
What IsSaltburnAbout?
Explained by many as a grotesque yet equally engaging piece of cinema,Saltburntells the tale of greed. lust and envy with a twisted angle that many from the audience would be shocked to witness.
The film tells the tale of a scholarship student at Oxford named Oliver Quick, who has a very rough family background along with traumatizing experiences, who befriends Felix Catton, a popular student coming from an affluent family. Empathizing with Quick’s situation, he invites him to live at his family estate named Saltburn.
But as soon as Quick enters the estate, the entire landscape of the property as well as Felix’s life changes, especially after the revelation that all is not what it seems to be.
