“I was really into musicals

and watched West Side

Story and Singin’ in the

Rain over and over. Now,

I’m going through a Daddy’s

Home phase. It’s brilliant!”

“When I

was little,

Watership

Down was my

favourite book,

so it is always

in my heart.”

“While filming His Dark

Materials, me and Lewin

Lloyd [who plays Lyra’s

best friend, Roger] would

always watch Stranger

Things at the end of the

day. That was our thing.”

“My playlists are weird. I love Billie

Eilish and the Hamilton soundtrack.

Then I have Pink Floyd, Fugees,

Rosalía... and lots of Will Smith.”

Dafne

Keen

“I really admire the

careers of Olivia

Colman, Meryl Streep,

and Jennifer Lawrence.

I love them all!”

“There’s a really cool

vintage market in Madrid

on Sundays called El

Rastro. I like buying hoop

earrings from there.”

“Mimosa & Cardamom

by Jo Malone [£98] is

my most-loved scent.

My mum uses it and it

reminds me of her.”

For Dafne Keen, performing runs in the family.

Her British father, Will Keen, and Spanish

mother, Maía Fernández Ache, are both actors

• “they knew I was going to be an actress before
  I did,” the 14-year-old says, with a confidence
  that belies her age, on set for Vogue. Keen grew
  up between Madrid and London, and landed
  her first role, aged nine, in Spanish drama The
  Refugees. But it was her part as the lovably feral
  Laura in Logan, the final instalment of Hugh
  Jackman’s Wolverine trilogy, that got her
  noticed. Even so, her new lead role – as Lyra in
  the latest adaptation of Philip Pullman’s beloved
  His Dark Materials – is one she didn’t dare
  expect. “I showed up to the audition only having
  read half the book,” she confesses. “I thought,
  ‘I’m not going to get it anyway.’” The most
  expensive BBC series ever, filming for the
  second season is already well under way. It’s all
  just the beginning for Keen, who wants “to do
  everything – comedy, drama, musical theatre,
  film, TV. That’s my dream.” Amel Mukhtar

“I use the

flame, vomit

and mind-

the most.”
