Ringo Starr is ready to see Barry Keoghan play the drums… as Ringo Starr. The Beatle recently sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier, who asked Starr what he thinks of speculation that “Saltburn” star Keoghan has been cast to portray him in director Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopics .

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,
