RICHARD JOHNSON: ‘Saltburn’ fans mimicking Barry Koghan’s infamous nude dance

“Dunkirk” star Barry Keoghan, who posed unclothed for Vanity Fair’s video cover, also made a big impression when he danced naked in the hit movie “Saltburn.” Very big.

The hard-bodied heartthrob has inspired thousands of fans to descend upon the film’s location in a tiny village in North Hampshire, England. The hunk’s admirers have been stripping down and dancing naked in front of the 700-year-old mansion where the movie was shot.

The streakers have been videoing themselves dancing to “Murder on the Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, just like Keoghan did in the film, which features several murders and lots of kinky sex scenes. The most infamous one being where he drinks the bathwater of “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi’s character.

The estate and the 150-room mansion are not open to the public, but the movie’s devotees have discovered a public trail through the property that allows them to Instagram photos of themselves in front of the stately home.

The country house’s owner, Charles Stopford Sackville, has called in security to keep the trespassers off his property, but because of the public trail, he can’t stop them. The hoards have only increased since “Saltburn” was released on Amazon.

The film has been a huge hit with audiences, but received zero Oscar nods for director Emerald Fennell, who won an Academy Award for the “Promising Young Woman” screenplay in 2023.

French fashion designer Claude Montana, who died last month at the age of 76, wasn’t mourned by those who loved his wife Wallis Franken.

In 1996, the fashion model jumped out the kitchen window of the second-floor Left Bank apartment she shared with her husband and fatally landed on her head.

“It was the most upsetting story I have ever reported,” said Dana Thomas, who wrote up the tragedy for The New Yorker.

“Claude Montana was a drug-addled, physically violent monster who drove his American fashion model wife to kill herself.”

Thomas posted her story on The Style Files on Substack. “I’m not putting it behind the paywall, because Wallis deserves to have her story told to as many people as possible,” Thomas said.

A portrait of Pierre Toussaint has been placed on permanent display inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Toussaint (1766-1853) was born a slave in Haiti and died a free man in New York, after raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage and founding the city’s first school for black children.

The Toussaint portrait by Hunt Slonem was donated to St. Patrick’s by the artist and it was blessed by Cardinal Timothy Dolan after a mass at the cathedral.

Toussaint’s remains were moved in the late 20th century from the cemetery of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral on Mulberry St. to the crypt below the main altar of St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Ave. He is the first layperson to be buried in this special place normally reserved for bishops of the Archdiocese of New York.

“I feel a very strong connection to Pierre Toussaint, and I’m very thrilled to see the painting at St. Patrick’s,” Slonem said. “It’s not just me doing it, I believe it was just God’s will that I was blessed to be asked to do it.”

Travis Kelce, the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs who is more famous as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, was on his best behavior in Vegas last weekend.

A source says Kelce was warned by Swift’s dad that a photo of him just dancing with another woman would bring in big bucks from tabloids.

Security at each club in Vegas for the celebration of the team’s third Super Bowl was asked to keep onlookers at least 6 feet away.

Civil rights leader Dr. Clarence B. Jones — one of the last surviving activists who worked directly with Martin Luther King, Jr. — will speak March 7 at the 92nd Street Y.

Jones, who carries on Dr. King’s legacy as chairman of Spill the Honey Foundation, will be joined by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Gayle King in discussing the historic bonds between Black and Jewish communities in the struggle for equality in America.

Before working with King on an early draft of the “I Have a Dream” speech, Jones was profoundly influenced by a Rabbi Joachim Prinz speech underscoring the strength of the Black and Jewish coalition.
