Barry Keoghan ramps up security after landing Beatles movie and Hollywood success

The 33-year-old Irish actor, who portrays Ringo Starr in a four-part Beatles film series, has acquired an Alsatian for personal protection. Keoghan has spoken about dealing with intense public attention, especially following his breakup with American pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter, 26. Social media clips show him engaging Duke with a blue chew toy.

A trainer from Lawless K9 shared, "During a recent visit, we got to get some great bonding in with Barry and Duke, and they got the opportunity to work together, which was really nice to see. Barry naturally picked it up fast.  "Plenty more to come from Duke, lots of training and development.  

He has been nurtured and trained by us to make sure he is a well-rounded dog, and his protection training is done correctly over time and not forced.", reports the Irish Mirror.

Keoghan, known for his role in the thriller Saltburn and a Bafta winner for The Banshees of Inisherin, recently flaunted the mop-top hairstyle he's sporting to play Ringo at a red carpet event.

All four Beatles films, each spotlighting a different band member, are set to be released simultaneously in 2028. Paul Mescal will portray Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn will take on the role of George Harrison.
