Dafne Keen has recalled disturbing incidents that occurred after Logan‘s release, when “very creepy” men would follow her to school. The 2017 X-Men spin-off was Keen’s second acting role and was filmed when she was 11.
The actress discussed these unsettling incidents following the release of the film while appearing on Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast. Keen acknowledged that being part of a male-dominated industry would naturally attract attention from male fans. However, some of her interactions with fans were deeply unsettling.
“So I experienced quite a lot of creepy, pedophile men who would send letters and Bibles to my house and music boxes and follow me to school,” Keen told Rosenbaum.

Despite these unsettling experiences after the film’s release, Keen also acknowledged the many fans who have respected her boundaries. “There might be one weirdo, but before that weirdo, I’ve met 90 lovely people who have come to just like chat and have a nice time. So why would I negate the whole experience over one person being odd?”
Keen recalled advice from her grandmother, which compared disruptive people to someone playing a drum in a waiting room. “They’re just really loud. But there are another 30 people who are being perfectly quiet and respectful,” she said.
In the same interview, she praised Hugh Jackman for protecting her on the film’s set. She also revealed that someone offered her cocaine when she was 11.
Since Logan, Keen has appeared in several high-profile franchises. She portrayed Lyra Belacqua in His Dark Materials and Jecki Lon in Star Wars: The Acolyte. Keen reprised her role as X-23 in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Whether she will reprise the role in future Marvel Studios films remains to be seen.
She will next appear in Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
