PIC: Barry Keoghan is the spitting image of a young Ian McKellen

Uncanny...

We love a good lookalike here at JOE. Most recently, we've seen PJ Gallagher being the absolute image of Ryan Reynolds' dad... And now we've an even better one for you. Legendary actor Ian McKellen tweeted a picture of himself when he was just a whippersnapper. There's no exact date on the picture, but McKellen does state that the picture was taken in the 60s. This would make him in his 20s in the picture, and dare we say he looks quite handsome... https://twitter.com/IanMcKellen/status/1022327884814278658 But there's something about the picture that is worth noting. He is the bloody image of Barry Keoghan. Just look at the similarities. Keoghan even took to Twitter to voice his agreement with the idea that the two look eerily similar. https://twitter.com/BarryKeoghan/status/1022776897762152448 He's not wrong. If there's ever a biopic to be made about McKellen's life, we know who should play him... The 25-year-old has a movie set during the famine that comes out on 7 September, and we can't bloody wait.
