Dafne Keen Was Offered Cocaine at Hollywood Parties When She Was 11
The Logan actress, now 21, says drug culture reached her at wrap parties while she was still a child. She said no. But she did not name who offered it or which productions the parties were connected to.
Dafne Keen says she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was as young as 11 years old. The actress, best known for playing X-23/Laura in Logan (2017) and Deadpool and Wolverine (2024), made the disclosure on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast Inside of You, first reported by UNILAD and Tyla on November 5, 2026.
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.
Keen, now 21, was born in May 2005. Logan filmed in 2016, placing her at approximately 11 to 12 years old during production on that film. She did not connect the drug offers to any specific production or name any individual who offered them. As Tyla notes in its reporting, Keen explicitly chose not to identify who was responsible or which wrap parties were involved.
What It Means to Have Witnessed It
The more striking part of Keen's account is not that she was offered drugs but that the exposure became formative rather than catastrophic. She told Rosenbaum she now rarely drinks, never gets hungover, and describes her social life as going out sober until 6am. "I would say I'm a fun time. I don't really need it," she said, per UNILAD's reporting.
She also described a teenage strategy she used to avoid peer pressure: telling people she had already taken something, though she was stone sober. "Dead sober. Like, the goodest goody-two-shoes ever," she said, per Tyla.
That framing, that early exposure to Hollywood's drug culture produced caution rather than curiosity, is specific to her. It is also the kind of claim that depends entirely on a person's circumstance, constitution, and support system. Keen got lucky. The larger question her account raises is what happens to the children who do not.
Hugh Jackman as a Counterweight
The same podcast episode, titled "DAFNE KEEN: Panic on Set, What HUGH JACKMAN Protected Her From and Her Biggest Fear" on YouTube, also features Keen speaking warmly about Jackman on the Logan set. Per Tyla, she described him as giving her "a lot of really positive reinforcement and a lot of really good advice" and said he "genuinely felt like a sort of parental figure."
None of that is incompatible with the drug-offer claim. Keen never says the offers came from Jackman or from anyone on the Logan set. What the contrast between the two parts of the episode shows is the experience of a child actor as a split reality: protected on set by an older co-star she trusted, exposed off set at industry parties to behavior that had no business involving a 12-year-old.
The Accountability Gap
Because Keen did not name names, her account cannot be traced to any individual or production. That is her choice to make, and the podcast format is not an investigation. But the absence of attribution also means nothing changes in a concrete way as a result of her saying this. No studio is named. No party organizer is named. No chain of accountability is activated.
Hollywood has had recurring public conversations about child safety on sets and at industry events for decades. Keen's account adds a firsthand voice to that record from a production, Logan, that was critically praised and commercially successful, and from a period just nine years ago. It is not ancient history.
The episode of Inside of You is available on YouTube. Keen does not appear to have issued any follow-up clarification or retraction as of this writing.
