I don\u2019t have to go to places because I actually don\u2019t go to places because of these things. But when that starts leaking into your art, it becomes a problem because then you don\u2019t even want to be on screen anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barry Keoghan is getting vulnerable about the effects of cyberbullying.
