Barry Keoghan Earns Ringo Starr’s Stamp Of Approval To Play Him In The Beatles Biopic Helmed By Sam Mendes: ‘I Think It’s Great’

by

As a devoted Beatles enthusiast who grew up with their music echoing through my formative years, I am beyond ecstatic about the upcoming biopic! The idea of Barry Keoghan embodying Ringo Starr is a dream come true for me, and if his performance is even half as brilliant as he was in “The Banshees of Inisherin,” it’s going to be a spectacle to behold.

As an overjoyed fan, I can hardly contain my excitement hearing that Barry Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr in the upcoming Beatles biopic! I’ve been eagerly awaiting this news, and it’s finally here. The Saltburn-born actor is said to be part of Sam Mendes’ four-part masterpiece, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it!

However, no official casting announcement has been made yet. The iconic drummer himself feels that Keoghan would simply slay his part as Starr. The veteran artist told Entertainment Tonight, “Well, I think it’s great. I think he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.”

Starr suggested that in order for The Banshees of Inisherin’s actor to convincingly portray a musician, they should discover their unique rhythm and style rather than just mastering the basics. He put it simply: “Give them space to develop their own vibe.

Starr clarified, “I completed a MasterClass, and during the discussion, I emphasized that it’s not about playing like me, but rather about mastering a certain movement so you can execute these skills effectively.

From my over-the-moon enthusiasm as a diehard fan, I can’t help but share the exciting news about Mendes’ upcoming biopic! This four-part masterpiece will delve into the unique stories of each Beatle – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr – allowing us to experience their journeys from their own personal vantage points.

As a die-heart fan, I can’t help but be thrilled by the whispers that Paul Mescal, the captivating star of Gladiator II, is being considered for the role of music legend Paul McCartney! In an exclusive chat with GQ, he hinted, “I’d jump at the chance, but right now, it’s all just talk.” Now, Harris Dickinson, a name that could potentially bring John Lennon to life, is keeping his cards close to his chest. He’s left us guessing, neither confirming nor denying his role in these biopics. The anticipation is killing me!

Although specifics about the four upcoming Sony Pictures Entertainment films on The Beatles aren’t fully disclosed yet, they’ve assured us that we’re in store for an exciting collection of movies. Each film will offer a deep dive into the personal lives and accomplishments of the Fab Four, while also interweaving their individual storylines. Excitingly, all four features are planned for a synchronized release in 2027.
