'Saltburn' Star Barry Keoghan on Flirting With Jacob Elordi: 'It Ain't Just for the Cameras'

If it seems like you could cut the on-screen sexual tension between Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan with a Knife, it's because you can. Well, at least according to Keoghan in his new interview with GQ.

When asked about why he and his "Saltburn" co-star seemed so flirty on-screen and off-screen during their press tour, Keoghan said it's because he is actively flirting with Elordi.

"I'm really flirtin', " Keoghan told GQ. "We were constantly close."

He added, "It ain't just for the cameras and the premiere[s]. Me and Jacob-he's like a brother to me, honestly. I think when you're comfortable with someone, you can be as close as you want, you know what I mean?"

And when Keoghan is comfortable, "I'm comfy." And according to him, he didn't have that relationship with any guys growing up.

"Yeah, no," Keoghan said. "But I'm comfortable with Jacob. Messin' about. Havin' a laugh. We're bein' lads. We've just done a movie where we had to kiss, man. Look at the scenes we've done. You have to be comfortable with yourself."

Additionally, the actor opened up about raising his son and being a leading man. Read more at GQ.
