The Saltburn star, 31, posted a selfie with his son, Brando, on Instagram on Sunday, Aug. 10. In the photo, he posed alongside the 2-year-old as the little boy played with toys on a table.

"He’s more of a charmer than I am. Our wee Brando ☘️🏴," the Bird actor captioned the photo.

Keoghan and ex-girlfriend Alyson Sandro welcomed Brando in August 2022. The actor told GQ in a January 2024 interview that he got a day off from filming Saltburn when Brando was born.
"They gave me a day off," the Masters of the Air star said. "Good on them! Day off, and straight on to night shoots and night feedings — boom!"
"It was probably the best time of my life, to be fair. Havin' a baby boy, and leadin' a movie. It was the best time of my life, I must say," he added.
Keoghan revealed that he named his son after Marlon Brando, whom he has long admired.

"Brando Keoghan. Imagine that, for a name!" Keoghan told GQ. "I set him up. Brando Keoghan, piano player. I obviously love Marlon Brando, but I just, yeah — for a first name I thought it was quite cool. To have Brando in your name — feckin' hell, man!"

"He's got a lot to live up to, that kid. But he'll live up to it. He has to have that leather jacket and rock-star attitude, you know what I mean? He'll have a motorbike when he's 12, I think," he joked.
Being a dad motivates Keoghan. He told the outlet he is fueled by the pressure that comes with having someone relying on him and by the joy that Brando brings him.
