Barry Keoghan's fans were given a treat as he stripped naked for a magazine shoot in a nod to the famous Saltburn ending.

The 31-year-old Irish star had the internet in a chokehold when Emerald Fennell's jaw-dropping movie Saltburn was released last year. The shocking movie saw Barry's character, Oliver Quick, slurp dirty water and bodily fluids out of the plughole of a bathtub, get freaky with a grave and dance naked around a mansion to Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor.

Unsurprisingly, the movie greatly impacted fans as many scenes went viral and endless memes were created. Barry recently joined a number of stars for the cover of Vanity Fair. At first, the star posed in a normal suit alongside the likes of Bradley Cooper, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Lily Gladstone and more.

In the video version of the cover, the camera panned across each A-list celebrity. After what seemed like the final star, there was a short pause before a naked Barry appeared on screen and confidently wandered off camera. He protected his modesty with his hands as he spun around and walked away.

Fans were quick to rush to the comment section of Vanity Fair's Instagram page, with one user writing: "Barry said let’s break the internet," while another urged fans to watch the entire video: "Definitely worth watching until the end!" One follower said: "Yall ate that. The way my jaw dropped at Barry."

Barry discussed the final scene with the publication and admitted he was more concerned about his dancing abilities than stripping down to his birthday suit. He said: "I was afraid to move my hips and move my body in a certain way, but the set was made quite comfortable for me.

"Once the camera goes up, I always feel a bit safe, and I have the license to kind of waltz in that environment." He previously told The Wrap he worked with movement coach Polly Bennett for the film's raunchy moments, telling the outlet: "Polly was like, 'I want you to do this, that and that,' [but] then she was like, 'I want you to do it as you.' She's so good at what she does that she makes you just feel that you’re not dancing. It [was] a move through the house rather than a dance sequence."

The Irish heartthrob previously talked about the grave scene and said it was completely unscripted and he went with the flow during filming. He said: "I mean, I shagged a grave in Saltburn, right? Can't get closer to death or getting mud diseases in your... I should get that checked."
