Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan says social media claims about his relationship with his son are being used as "ammunition" against him.

The Irish actor, 32, has one child, Brando, with a former partner and has been outspoken about his difficult childhood, which saw him grow up in foster care and his mother die after struggling with drug addiction.
