Barry Keoghan has "work to do" if he's going to pull off a convincing Ringo Starr. According to the Beatles alum himself, Keoghan has been cast as Starr in the four-part film series directed by Sam Mendes.

Barry Keoghan is set to portray Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes' Beatles movies, according to the Beatle himself. "I think it's great," said Starr to Entertainment Tonight when asked about his reaction to Keoghan's rumored casting.

I think he’s great, and I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons,” Starr told Entertainment Tonight. “And I hope not too many,” he continued to the seemingly shocked interviewer. Keoghan has long been rumored to have been Mendes’ choice for Starr,
