Keoghan revealed that he named his son afterMarlon Brando, whom he has long admired.

“Brando Keoghan. Imagine that, for a name!” Keoghan toldGQ. “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!”

The Oscar nominee admitted that being named for such an iconic Hollywood star could potentially come with a lot of pressure, but he believes his son is up to the challenge.

“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.
