The 25-year-old said that the experience was "a weird one" but he remembered his mother fondly. "I've great memories of her," he said. "Very proud of her." Keoghan also said that he hoped he would be a role model for young people in Ireland who might be in a similar situation.
"What I mentioned there - 13 homes, you know? If that was on paper you'd go, 'He's destined to mess up'. "But I went against it. Didn't dwell on it and used it as ammunition almost."
Keoghan has appeared in a string of critically acclaimed films as of late including The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Dunkirk, and his latest achievement - American Animals.
He told Tubridy that he'd be back soon with a load of Oscars to show off.
"I'll put the Oscar there," he said, gesturing to Tubridy's desk. "Put the other one there, and the other one there."
American Animals is released in Irish cinemas on Friday, September 7. Explore more on these topics:
