Barry Keoghan, the actor who is set to play Ringo in Sam Mendes’ forthcoming set of Beatles biopics, has revealed that he met the man himself and has seen his drumming technique up close. Appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Keoghan – looking impossibly boyish, even at 32 - talked about the encounter.

Barry Keoghan finally got to meet Ringo Starr, who he is set to portray in the upcoming Beatles biopics, and the two “just sat in the garden chatting away” during the meeting.

Ever since he was announced as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’s Fab Four biopics, the Irish actor has been in full-on Sgt. Pepper mode.
