“I was offered cocaine” at just 11 years old

- Jackson Avery

Hollywood parties revealed their dark side to him very early on. Dafne Keen (21) claims she was offered cocaine when she was between 11 and 13 years old. The actress told Michael Rosenbaum on his “Inside of You” podcast.

“I was offered cocaine at end-of-year parties. I was tiny. Eleven, twelve, thirteen years,” Keen said. She declined, and these episodes had a lasting effect: the actress claims to have never been tempted by drugs. Even alcohol occupies a marginal place in his life. She says she has never drunk so much that she woke up with a hangover.

Hugh Jackman, a guardian angel on the set

It was in 2017 that Dafne Keen’s career took off thanks to the film “Logan – The Wolverine”. She was only 11 years old at the time of filming, where she played Laura, aka X-23, a young mutant, opposite Hugh Jackman (58 years old). In the podcast, she also spoke about the great help the actor gave her at the time.

The actor didn’t just encourage and advise her. He also made sure that her work schedules were respected and that she had fun on set. “He was incredibly protective and wonderful,” she says. Hugh Jackman also took care to keep her away from the tensions that could reign behind the scenes.

This role opened many doors for him: “His Dark Materials”, “Star Wars: The Acolyte” and a notable return as X-23 in “Deadpool & Wolverine”. Fans will soon find her in the shoes of Artemis, in season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”.
