According to Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan himself, heimprovisedmuch of the grave scene. “I just wanted to explore and grow with the character, and figure him out,” he said.
“I asked for a closed set. I said ‘I want to try something’. And I just wanted to see what I’d do as Oliver when action happens and where I went,” he continued. “And to me, he just went to a place of being totally heart-broken, and lost, and confused.”
