Ulrika Jonsson has crush on Barry Keoghan and was 'stirred inappropriately'

Saltburn star Barry Keoghan has a very famous fan who was 'stirred inappropriately' during the film.

The movie has set social media alight after it was released on Amazon Prime, with many watching it in the cinema feeling uncomfortable. In one scene, Irish actor Barry - who plays Oliver Quick - attempts to get to know his best friend Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi) on a much more personal level.

Saltburn focuses on Oxford University scholarship holder Oliver and his best friend Felix. Throughout the movie, Oliver struggles to fit in with his wealthy peers before becoming infatuated with Felix. Jacob's character is seen pleasuring himself in the bath of his luxury home before hopping out once he's done, all while Oliver watches on. Moments later, Oliver dives into the bathtub and instantly begins slurping up the water and Felix's bodily fluids.

Later in the movie, viewers saw Barry's character having sex with Felix's grave, which he has since admitted was completely unscripted. At the end of the Emerald Fennell movie, Oliver is seen completely naked, dancing to Sophie Ellis Bextor's Murder On The Dancefloor. And now, Ulrika Jonsson has shared her views and branded his looks "beguiling, exciting and captivating".

Writing in The Sun, the former Gladiators host penned: "His looks, to me, are nothing short of beguiling, exciting and captivating, and I can't deny being stirred inappropriately by his presence on screen. In fact, I already fell for the 31-year-old in the 2022 film The Banshees Of Inisherin. Like, I'm talking in a big way."

But while she claims that Barry has "heavily hooded, stern eyes," that aren't too welcoming and offer a sense of "meanness", she admits "his whole get-up is a bit of a turn-on". Following the response to the infamous grave scene, director Emerald has since explained she had to clear the set for Barry.

The actress and director allowed Barry to "let his body lead the way". He told Entertainment Weekly: "She plants seeds, Emerald, you know what I mean? She knows that they're going to grow, these seeds, especially when she plants them with me. But it is a testament to Emerald having that idea and me meeting it with... to be honest, no questions. I was totally on board for it."

He previously stated: "On paper, he (Oliver) wasn't written to do that. But I wanted to see what actually happened, and where I would take it. I wanted to be confused and let my body lead the way. What am I doing? How can I get closer?"
