Movie roles followed, in particular 2017's Dunkirk and The Killing of a Sacred Deer alongside Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman, which earned him a Best Supporting Actor gong at the IFTAs.
In 2019 he was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award and featured in the mini-series Chernobyl and cemented his growing celebrity status by appearing on Virgin Media's Living With Lucy.
A cameo appearance as The Joker in 2022's The Batman preceded the role that gave him star status, playing Dominic Kearney in Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. He received an Oscar nomination in the Best Supporting Actor category, and won BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance.
His 'next big thing' status was confirmed with a scene-stealing performance - including a dance in the nip - in Emerald Fennell's drama Saltburn in the lead role of Oliver Quick. Keoghan received much critical acclaim, and was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actor.
Like many other actors, he was then drawn to the streaming world, landing the key role of Lt Curtis Biddick in Apple TV+ WWII drama Masters of the Air, released earlier this year.
And who else is starring in Masters of the Air? None other than fellow Irish actor, Anthony Boyle.
The Irish are everywhere.
