Dafne Keen admitted that she was offered cocaine at age 11 while filming 'Logan'

Dafne Keen recently admitted that, at the age of 11, she was exposed to substance abuse and was offered cocaine during parties on Hollywood film sets. The actress, who is now 21 years old, shared her experience in a conversation with Michael Rosenbaum on the 'Inside of You' podcast. Keen made her major debut in 2017 in the film 'Logan', playing the young mutant Laura/X-23 alongside Hugh Jackman at the age of 11, with filming taking place just before she turned 12. ^{[4] [2]}

I don't think I've ever gotten drunk enough to need hair of the dog. I'm very obsessed with staying in control, ^{[1] [4] [2]}

Currently, as an adult, Keen continues to avoid alcohol and other substances as much as possible, explaining that she doesn't need them. 'I will go out and stay until 6 a.m., but sober. Just for the vibe, because I like music, I like dancing, and I like people,' she stated. She further admitted that, during her teenage years, she used to lie to avoid peer pressure, saying: 'No, it's fine. I don't want to drink. I've already taken something. Very clearly. As the best well-behaved kid.' She also revealed that Millie Bobby Brown was in the running for the role of Laura in 'Logan', but believed that her colleague would get the part. ^{[4] [2]}

In addition to her confessions about her tender age, Keen praised her co-star Hugh Jackman, describing him as an extremely protective 'parental figure.' She recalled that Jackman gave her 'lots of warmth and very good advice' and 'made sure no one abused their working hours, that I was having fun on set, and that I wasn't aware of tensions that might have arisen behind the scenes. He was incredibly protective and wonderful.' The celebrities collaborated again recently in the film 'Deadpool & Wolverine' (2024), where Keen appeared in a cameo role. ^{[1] [4] [2] [3]}
