Barry Keoghan has underpants ironed ahead of Golden Globes red carpet

Barry Keoghan apparently had his grey y-fronts ironed before taking to the Golden Globes red carpet. 

The Irish star, 31, was up for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture for his role playing Oliver Quick in the controversial movie, Saltburn. He lost out to Oppenheimer's Cillian Murphy, 47.

On the red carpet, Keoghan arrived in a smart red jacket and tailored trousers. 

Later on Sunday evening, fashion stylist Ilaria Urbinati took to Instagram to share how the Hollywood man-of-the-moment had had his pants steam ironed especially for the awards ceremony.

She captioned the post: “@louisvuitton ironing the underwear is next level service @keoghan92.”

While Irish star Murphy picked up one of the biggest gongs of the night, elsewhere the UK enjoyed modest success at this year’s Golden Globes, with wins in six of the 27 awards up for grabs: three for individual performers and three for co-productions with other countries.

The three performers were Matthew Macfadyen, who won best male supporting actor in a television series for his role in the drama Succession; Ricky Gervais, who picked up the award for best performance in stand-up comedy on television for his one-off show Armageddon; and Christopher Nolan, named best director for the biographical blockbuster Oppenheimer.

It is the first major directing award for Nolan, despite a long career in the film industry and a host of Oscar, Bafta and Golden Globe nominations for films such as Memento, Inception and Dunkirk.

Oppenheimer, which traces the life of the eponymous American physicist who played a key role in developing the atomic bomb, was also one of the UK’s three joint wins.

The film, a US-UK co-production, was named best motion picture drama.

Poor Things, a dark comic fantasy co-produced by Ireland, the UK and the US, won the award for best motion picture musical or comedy.

And the highest grossing film of 2023, Barbie – another US-UK co-production – picked up the inaugural award for cinematic and box office achievement.

The Golden Globes has long been an event dominated by the US, with British talent typically picking up fewer than half the awards on offer.

The UK’s tally of six wins this year is the highest since 10 in both 2020 and 2021 and is an improvement on last year, when the total was just two.
