Actor Dafne Keen, who rose to fame as the young clone of Wolverine in the 2017 film Logan, has disclosed that she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was just 11 years old.
Revelation on Podcast
Keen, now 21, shared the experience during an appearance on the Inside of You podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum. She was 11 during the filming of Logan and 12 at its release, later starring in series such as His Dark Materials and Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Early Exposure to Drugs
Describing her relationship with alcohol, Keen said she has never been drunk enough to have a hangover, calling herself a "control freak" about substances. She explained that as a child actor she witnessed widespread drug use, recalling: "I was getting offered coke at wrap parties. [When I was] like, tiny. Like 11, 12, 13 [years old]. So I saw what that was, so I was like, 'I don't really have any interest in that'… I was saying no, fortunately."
Sobriety in Adulthood
Keen stated she continues to avoid drugs and alcohol, saying she does not "really need it." She added that she stays out late sober, enjoying music, dancing, and socializing. As a teenager, she would lie about having already taken something to avoid peer pressure, describing herself as "the goodest goody-two-shoes ever."
Praise for Hugh Jackman
Keen spoke highly of her co-star Hugh Jackman, with whom she shared most of her scenes in Logan. She said Jackman gave her positive reinforcement, good advice, and was "always so lovely," calling him "the best number one you could ever wish for" and a protective on-screen father figure who ensured her well-being on set.
The pair later reunited for Keen's cameo in the 2024 film Deadpool & Wolverine.
