Barry Keoghan recently revealed that the graveyard scene in the film ‘Saltburn’ pushed himself to the limit.
In a recent interview with ‘Hot Ones’, Keoghan was asked if there was any particular scene that pushed his boundary and if he ever felt unsafe or close to the feeling while filming. He revealed it was the graveyard humping scene.
“I mean, I shagged a grave in ‘Saltburn’, right? Can’t get to closer to death or getting mud diseases in your…” he said. “I should get that checked.” He furthered that ‘Saltburn’ “really pushed it,” but he still liked it because he enjoys going to extremes when filming.
“Every role pushes it,” he said, “and I like to be pushed. I don’t want something comfy.”
“I want to really artistically go there and there’s moments on sets and movies where you lose sight of camera and you kind of get this, it’s only for two seconds or so, but it’s like this nauseous feeling, when you’re just so present and it’s what we chase. We, as actors, chase it every time we go on set.”
