Jacob Elordi Unveils Barry Keoghan Wasn’t the Initial Pick for ‘Saltburn’ Film

In a recent interview with Vogue UK, Jacob Elordi, star of the Emerald Fennell-directed film “Saltburn,” dropped a surprising revelation about the casting decisions for the movie. Elordi disclosed that Barry Keoghan wasn’t the initial choice for his co-starring role in the captivating British tale of excess.

During the conversation with Vogue, Elordi and Keoghan delved into their roles in “Saltburn,” where Keoghan played the role of Oxford University student Oliver Quick, mentored by Elordi’s character, Felix Catton, for a summer of indulgence on a luxurious estate.

When asked about what drew him to “Saltburn,” Keoghan shared, “When I met Emerald Fennell, she told me that she had you kind of down to do it. So, Emerald, yourself, and the script… what about you?” Elordi responded, confirming it was indeed Fennell who initially approached him for the role.

Elordi then dropped a surprising tidbit, stating, “Then she (Emerald) said she wanted Timothée Chalamet for it. And I said, have you thought about Barry Keoghan?” The revelation sheds light on the intricate casting decisions that take place behind the scenes of a major film production.

Emerald Fennell’s “Saltburn” has been described as a very British tale of excess, with some scenes earning praise in reviews, particularly for Keoghan’s “full-tilt performance” characterized as “pure bravery” by Awards Watch founder Erik Anderson. Despite mixed reactions to the film upon its release, both Keoghan and Rosamund Pike, who played a supporting role, received Golden Globe nominations earlier this month.

For those intrigued by the revelations and eager to witness Keoghan’s acclaimed performance, “Saltburn” is currently available for viewing on Prime Video.

Jacob Elordi’s candid revelation about the casting choices for “Saltburn” adds an intriguing layer to the film’s narrative. As audiences continue to explore this British tale of excess, the alternate casting possibilities offer a fascinating glimpse into the dynamic decision-making process behind the scenes of a major cinematic production.
