0:00.0	1212. Are we rolling?
0:04.2	Hello, Louis Theroux here. Welcome to my podcast. It's called the Louis Theroux podcast,
0:08.9	because I'm Louis Theroux. Today's guest is Irish actor and man of the moment, Barry Keogan.
0:20.7	Yes, that's how he pronounce his name.
0:23.0	I asked him. Barry had a tumultuous upbringing. His mother struggled with addiction to heroin,

1:21.1	Sabrina Carpenter, the internet reached a frenzied level when he appeared in the music video for her song.

1:29.6	Am I going to sing it?
