Barry Keoghanis opening up about the dynamic between him and his son, Brando.
Barry shares Brando, 2, with his ex-girlfriendAlyson Sandro.
In aninterviewwith Entertainment Weekly, Barry discussed his experience growing up without a father, his life now as a dad — and how that impacted his role inBird, an upcoming film about a man’s rocky relationship with his daughter.
“I’ll just say this — I didn’t have a father figure growing up, so even my relationship with my son isn’t quite of the normal father-son relationship,” Barry said.
“Because I don’t have that figure to draw experience from and to base it on,” he added.
That said, Barry seems to be figuring it out in his own way — by leading with love. “Love, you don’t need anything to draw from,” he shared. “Love is pure, and so I’m not on about that, but I’m on about stuff like teaching your son this or teaching your daughter that.”
In August, Barry shared a rare glimpse into his life with his son, posting an Instagrampicnext to him as his son played with toys. “He’s more of a charmer than i am,” Barry captioned the post. “Our wee Brando ☘️🏴.”
