The claim
Dafne Keen, now 21, has said that she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was 11, 12 and 13 years old. She made the remarks on the Inside of You podcast hosted by Michael Rosenbaum, where she described the offers as a regular part of the celebrations that followed filming. Several outlets report that she turned them down.
Keen said that she saw what the parties were like from a young age and that this shaped her own choices. She told Rosenbaum she had no interest in the drugs and said she was saying no, fortunately.
“I was getting offered coke at wrap parties. Like, tiny. Like 11, 12, 13.”
Her relationship with alcohol
Keen said she has never been drunk enough to have a hangover and described herself as a control freak in that respect. She added that as a child actor she had witnessed many parties of this kind, which left her with no interest in them.
As an adult she says she still avoids drugs and alcohol. She said she goes out and stays until 6 in the morning, but sober, because she likes the music, dancing and people. As a teenager she admitted she used to lie to friends so she would not be pressured into drinking or taking something.
Working with Hugh Jackman
Keen also spoke about her co-star Hugh Jackman, with whom she shared most of her scenes in Logan, released in 2017. She was 11 during filming and 12 when the film came out. She said Jackman gave her positive feedback and good advice and made sure her working hours were respected.
“He was so incredibly protective and amazing.”
Keen said Jackman felt like a parental figure on set and kept tensions behind the scenes away from her. The two later reunited when she returned as X-23 in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Career since Logan
After Logan, Keen appeared in His Dark Materials and in the Star Wars series The Acolyte. Her next project is the role of Artemis in the third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, according to reports of the podcast interview.
