Irish actor Barry Keoghan (b. 1992) was in foster & kinship care as a child.

In this episode (S3 Ep7) of the Louis Theroux Podcast, Keoghan talks about his childhood – the reasons for being in foster care, visits with his mother, living with his grandmother after his mother died.

Keoghan stresses that he speaks about his background not for sympathy or pity, but as encouragement for children from similarly difficult backgrounds.
