Barry Keoghan reveals right way to pronounce his name after being among 2024’s 'most mispronounced words'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Barry Keoghan, the Irish actor known for his roles in 'Saltburn', 'The Banshees of Inisherin', and 'Dunkirk', has officially set the record straight on how to pronounce his last name.

The 32-year-old, whose rise to fame brought newfound attention and confusion to his surname, revealed the proper pronunciation during a 2023 interview with Esquire.

Barry Keoghan finally clarifies correct pronunciation of his name

In the clip, Barry Keoghan introduces himself, pronouncing his name as "Barry Keoh-Gan." For fans still grappling with it: Keoh-Gan is the definitive way to say it—at least according to the actor himself.

Despite his clarification, Keoghan has admitted that even he isn’t entirely sure about his surname’s accuracy. At Dublin Comic Con in 2022, the actor joked, “Maybe I’ve just been pronouncing it wrong all these years, but yeah, the G sound is in there—Keo-Gan.”

Keoghan lightheartedly noted the potential perks of having a tricky-to-pronounce name. “It’s almost like a rite of passage in this industry,” he quipped, referencing fellow Irish star Saoirse Ronan, who famously educated the world on saying her name.

Keoghan isn’t alone in the quest for name accuracy. Other actors, like Daniel Craig, had also addressed mispronunciations. Craig, often referred to as "Daniel Creg," corrected TV host Stephen Colbert, confirming it’s pronounced “Cray-g.”
