The One Iconic 'Peaky Blinders' Line Barry Keoghan Honestly Didn't Feel He 'Earned'

Cinema Blend

When I think about "Peaky Blinders," I think about their suits that are tailored to perfection, that iconic haircut, and the gang’s cutthroat mentality. These guys have an unmistakable signature style, and their saying “By order of the Peaky Blinders” has become part of it. So, with the "Peaky Blinders" movie, "The Immortal Man," set to release on Netflix’s 2026 schedule soon, I had to ask the newest addition to the cast, Barry Keoghan, what it was like to suit up and say one of the series’ most iconic lines. His response surprised me, as he recalled why he felt he hadn’t earned it.  In "The Immortal Man’s" trailer, it’s revealed that Tommy’s “gypsy son,” Duke, is “running the Peaky Blinders.” Then, in a clip from the movie, which will be available with a Netflix subscription on March 20, we got to see Duke leading the gang on a job. Keoghan plays this character, and as you can see in the clip below, he was one of two men to say that iconic "Peaky Blinders" line.

00:26Um, I felt, you know, it's, uh, it's a, it's a way of trying to sound and be like my
