Barry Keoghan has confirmed that it was all him in the eye-opening nude scene in Saltburn, which is now available to watch on Amazon Prime.
A dramatic and controversial way to close out cinema for the year, Saltburn has been the film on majority of lips the past couple of weeks.
Released on November 17, the movie is centres around Oxford scholarship holder, Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan) and his infatuation with his upper-class friend Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi).
Oliver struggles to fit in with the super wealthy crowd that study at the elite university, however Felix soon takes him under his wing.
Sought after Felix eventually invites down on his luck Oliver to stay at his illustrious Saltburn mansion for the Summer, igniting a season of eccentricity, partying and down right chaos.

The film has its fair share of controversial scenes, and the closing one is no different, but best be warned – there are spoilers ahead.
In a disturbing twist, we see seemingly innocent Oliver turn out to be a vengeful mastermind who has killed off Felix and his family, over the course of a few years in a bid to gain their fortune – and Saltburn mansion.
Celebrating that he has finally pulled off his masterplan we see Oliver busting a move around the manor – completely in the nude.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in November, Barry described the scene as embracing ‘full confidence’.
He said: ‘It’s ownership. This is my place. It’s full confidence in, “I can do what I want in this manor. I can strip to my barest and waltz around because this is mine”.’
Barry added that he didn’t feel comfortable from the get go, but he eventually came to grips with the scene, doing 11 takes.
‘After take one, I was ready to go. I was like, “Let’s go again. Let’s go again.”
