Barry Keoghan’s impressive acting credentials, rather than his relationship with Sabrina Carpenter, were the deciding factors for casting him in her “Please Please Please” music video.

The chemistry between them in that moment clearly played a crucial role in her decision, showcasing her admiration for his talent while also highlighting their comfortable rapport.
