Irish actor Barry Keoghan has had opened up about having “a lot of problems with trust” after growing up in the care system in Ireland.
The Banshees of Inisherin actor has been outspoken about his events in his childhood which led to him and his brother being sent to different foster homes as their mother struggled, and later died, from drug addiction.
Appearing on the This Life Of Mine podcast with James Corden, Keoghan explained how the foster care system “starts to affect you as you grow up”.
Amid reports his relationship with singer Sabrina Carpenter had ended, Keoghan said: “I had a lot of problems with trust, never trusted love, never trusted that someone wanted to know me, or, let’s say, be a friend, for instance,”
“You don’t trust the process of anything. You have a problem with attachment and abandonment, all of these things that I’ve been working on for many years with several therapists.”
Keoghan said he always questioned those who got close to him.
He explained: “You’re hard-wired differently. You have to really be aware and be brutally honest with yourself to work on these things, and then having a child myself, these things come into play.
“What do I show my child. Usually people have something to draw from, they have a blueprint or they have some sort of experience from their father, but I have none."
