Fans are condemning Barry Keoghan for his ‘grim’ action in a new Burberry campaign, which has left people ‘sickened’ on the internet.
The 31-year-old actor – who is involved in a romantic relationship with Sabrina Carpenter – showed off his striking blue eyes and Hollywood smile as he posed up a storm in a recent Burberry advert.
However, his good looks were overshadowed by the strange action he performed at the beginning of the commercial, getting ready to start his breakfast.
Donning a checked Burberry jacket, the Saltburn actor prepared to eat a plate full of eggs and sausage, but not before drowning the meal in barbecue sauce.
The star left jaws dropping as he tore into the bottle of sauce with his mouth – sparking outrage among people online as they called the action ‘rage bait’ and questioned why he had to ‘bite’ the seasoning.

In the clip that was posted Burberry’s Instagram On Page 2, Barry was seen at a table being served a ‘fry-up’, a traditional English meal consisting of fried eggs, sausage and bacon.
After thanking the waitress for bringing his breakfast to his table, he got ready to get started by pouring his eggs in barbecue sauce.
And while the amount of sauce the actor used was alarming enough, people on the internet couldn’t help but focus on the fact that the Irish actor had opened the bottle with his mouth.
Fans flocked to the comments section to condemn the action, which they confessed made them feel ‘sick’.
One person said: ‘It really makes me feel sick when I open the sauce like this! No Burberry, just no.’
Someone else wrote: ‘That sauce opening is pure rage bait.’
Another user added: ‘IT BITE open the sauce.’
“Why couldn’t he just open the brown sauce with his hands?!” one user wondered.

Another fan said, “I don’t know what’s worse: opening the sauce with his teeth or the bathtub scene.”
One user added: ‘Yuck.’
“If I ever go somewhere that has Barry and a sauce pot, I don’t touch the sauce. Campaign is quintessential Burberry,” someone else wrote.
Another fan added: ‘Fantastic. But a bit grim to open the bottle with [your] teeth.’
In addition to opening the bottle with his mouth, fans also shared their theories about the drink sitting next to Barry.
The actor seemed to give a nod to Sabrina by enjoying an espresso, the title of her hit song.
Although their musical and acting skills have taken them to the top of the charts, fans are obsessed with Barry and Sabrina’s relationship status.

The lovebirds made their first official red carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala in May, after first crossing paths at Paris Fashion Week in September last year before being spotted on a date a few months later.
In August, the Don’t Smile singer spoke about her husband’s talent, calling him “one of the best actors of this generation.”
It came after the singer cast her lover and the actor in the music video for her hit song Please, Please, Please.
However, their relationship is said to be ‘on and off’ after reports that the couple had split for good.
It was claimed that Sabrina dumped Barry almost three weeks ago because of the Irish star’s wild partying and because he acted like an ‘idiot’ when he was drunk.
But now according to Peopletheir relationship is ‘on and off’ after the Espresso hitmaker left their relationship undefined in an interview earlier this year.
When asked by Rolling Stone if she calls Barry her boyfriend, she said, “How can I avoid this question?”

‘The [dating] pool is the pool, and when you meet people who feel authentic and are so brilliant and amazing in every way, that’s what you do. Obviously I write songs about exactly how I feel, so I can’t be too surprised that people are interested in who and what those songs are about.’
She concluded, “That comes with the territory.”
In June, Sabrina declared that she was “in love for the first time” during her romance with the Oscar nominee.
Prior to his romance with Sabrina, Barry was in a two-year relationship with dental nurse Alyson Kierans, with whom he shares his son Brando, who was born in August 2022, while Barry was filming Saltburn.
