Saltburn star Barry Keoghan quits acting and launches a fashion company.
The actor, 31, founded Rarewolf, which aims to get his luxury outfits into high-end stores.
Barry has been labeled a style icon after pulling off a number of avant-garde looks during awards season.
The actor sported cropped cardigans from Dolce & Gabbana, daring suits from Louis Vuitton and raised eyebrows as he danced naked to Sophie Ellis Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor in Saltburn.
Barry, who has been nominated for a BAFTA for his role in the hit film, registered the company and said it will focus on ‘Retail of clothing in specialist stores’.

The fashion enthusiast has enlisted the help of lawyers Stephen Craig, as co-director, and Oliver Craig, as shareholder, to set up the Scottish-registered company.
They have yet to set up a website or give any hint about their fashion direction after registering the company in October.
Trendy father-of-one Barry has been singled out as a style icon by Vogue, which said he was part of the so-called ‘Babygirl’ movement of stars that also includes Harry Styles, Lewis Hamilton and his co-star Jacob Elordi.
He said: ‘I love fashion. I see it as a way to be brave, it’s another form of expressing yourself.
‘I always didn’t want to adhere to the dress codes.
“I felt comfortable wearing the denim jacket while everyone else was wearing sweatpants.”
Barry has had major roles in Inisherin’s Banshees, Top Boy and Chernobyl, as well as Saltburn, which is his biggest leading role to date.
He was nominated for an Oscar for Banshees, but Saltburn didn’t get a single nomination at the Oscars this year, surprising many critics.

Yet Barry appeared to have gotten over the criticism as he set pulses racing on Tuesday with a candid clip dancing shirtless in his dressing room.
The Banshees of Inisherin hunk turned heads as he bit his lip and showed off his seriously ripped physique in a video he uploaded to Instagram Stories.
He gave his 1.8 million followers a cheeky smile before continuing to wave his hands in the air to a trendy hip-hop rap.
Sporting a gold chain, silver bracelet and black belt, the 6-foot-2 sculpted beefcake left little to the imagination as he flexed his muscular arms and six-pack.
