Barry Keoghan, set to play Ringo Starr in an upcoming Beatles biopic, shared his experience meeting Starr during a segment on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'. Keoghan detailed how he was starstruck yet focused on his role, aiming to humanize Starr rather than simply imitate him. The biopic, directed by Sam Mendes, will encompass four films depicting each Beatles member, set for release in April 2028. Mendes commented on the necessity to present the Beatles' stories for a contemporary audience, emphasizing the endeavor's expansive narrative scope.
I met him at his house, and he played the drums for me. He asked me to play, but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo.
My job is to observe and kinda take in mannerisms and study him. I want to humanize him and bring feelings to it and not just sort of imitate.
We're not just making one film about the Beatles - we're making four. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.
There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation.
