The Dubliner walked the red carpet at the world debut of Hurry Up Tomorrow on Tuesday.
His brand new film, a psychological thriller which follows an insomniac musician, is set to be released in Irish cinemas on Friday.
‘Wednesday’ actor Jenna Ortega and Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, also star in the flick as a fictionalised version of himself.
The movie is a companion to his sixth album of the same name.
Keoghan, who grew up in Dublin’s inner city, kept his beloved mother close as he wore a silver bracelet engraved with her name: ‘Debbie.’
He has been spotted wearing the piece at numerous events and premieres.
The actor was 12 years old when she tragically died following a heroin overdose.
He previously told Esquire how he randomly selected the bracelet when picking a costume for a movie he was working on.
“I said, ‘That’s my mother’s name. Debbie.’ That’s crazy, isn’t it? That’s a sign. That is a fecking sign! That day alone is like… So I kept it. They were like, ‘Where’s the bracelet?’ I was like, ‘I’m keeping that’.”
The 32-year-old spoke about losing his mother on The Late Late Show back in 2018.
“It was a new thing and people didn’t know the effects,” he told then-host Ryan Tubridy.
“The drugs hit the area and it affected all the families and she was one of them that got caught.
“I was living with my nanny at that stage. I was 12. She was very young. She was 31. I have great memories of her and I’m very proud of her.”
The actor also opened up about how he and his brother Eric were moved around 13 different foster homes between the ages of five and 12 before moving in with their Nanny Patricia, aunt Lorraine, and older sister Gemma in the inner-city area of Summerhill.
“We went into foster care and the families we went to were good to us. We went to a few of them. They kept us together, which was great.
“Every family was good to us. As a kid, you don’t know what’s happening; you get attached and then boom – let’s move over here.
“It’s a weird one. It’s only when you get older, you can look back and get a bit of perspective on it.
“So, I don’t have a hometown,” he joked before adding: “I’m only messing, I do. Summerhill”.
