A passion project for the actor, he lined up the movie after his recent Oscar nomination

"I remember reading about him as a kid, but as we were digging into the project, there were so many things we discovered about his life," The Banshees of Inisherin star told the outlet.

"There are so many eyewitness accounts, and lots of different versions of his story that didn’t add up but that contributed to the legend. "I wanted to step outside of the legend that was built up by the papers and tackle the pressure he must have felt from those early days. He was running his whole life.

"I felt related to Billy in the sense of him being a mummy’s boy, but obviously, I took a different path, turning my circumstances into something positive rather than rebelling against them. "Nevertheless, there’s a soul and a vulnerability to Billy that I think it’s important to bring, to understand him as a real person rather than the myth that he has become.”Among the producers of the movie is Element Pictures , with Deadline reporting that Keoghan pitched the project to the Irish studio.
