Logan child star Dafne Keen 'offered coke at wraps parties' when she was just 11 years old
Dafne Keen, whose first big screen role came in 2017's Logan, has revealed her experiences as a child star in Hollywood.
Dafne Keen was offered cocaine at wrap parties when she was just 11 years old.
The 21-year-old former child star, who rose to fame as Laura in 2017's Logan before playing Lyra Belacqua in His Dark Materials, has revealed she has never had any interest in drugs or alcohol because of her early experiences in Hollywood.
She told the Inside of You podcast: "I don’t think I’ve ever been drunk enough to even have a hangover. I’m such a control freak with that.
“Because also I think as a child actor I witnessed so much of that as a child that I just had no interest… I was getting offered coke at wrap parties.
"Like, tiny. Like 11, 12, 13. So I saw what that was, so I was like, ‘I don’t really have any interest in that’… I was saying no, fortunately.”
Dafne, who reprised her role in 2024's Deadpool and Wolverine, pointed out she is still "a fun time" without needing booze.
She added: "I would say I'm a fun time. I don’t really need it.
"I’ll go out and stay out ‘til 6, but sober. Just for the vibes, just ‘cause I like music and I like dancing and I like people."
Dafne can recall how she "used to lie as a teenager" just to avoid peer pressure.
She added: "I’d be like, ‘Nah, I’m good. I don’t wanna drink. I already took something.’
"Dead sober. Like, the goodest goody-two-shoes ever.”
Dafne also heaped praise on Hugh Jackman for giving her "a lot of really positive reinforcement and a lot of really good advice" on the set of Logan.
She said: "He’s the best number one you could ever wish for. And he’s the best on-screen dad. He genuinely felt like a sort of parental figure…
"He made sure that no one was abusing my hours, that I was having fun on set, that I wasn’t aware of any tensions that would’ve been happening behind the scenes. He was so incredibly protective and amazing.”
Meanwhile, she pointed out that everyone on the set did a great job of making her feel "like a grownup" and "a respectable artist".
She recalled: “My opinion really felt like it mattered. If I said I thought something about a scene, people would think about it.
"And I don’t know if it was fake or not, but it really felt like I was included in the process.”
