“I have a need to connect with people, I’ve always had a deep need to tell stories. I think what differentiates human beings from all the other animals in the world is that we have art. I think that’s what makes us so special and I’ve always had that thought. I think my way into it now is acting. So I think that’s why I’ve been doing it my whole life.”

Dafne Keen is set on maintaining the fantasy of film. After a FaceTime with Shawn Levy, she found no better place to do it than on the set of Deadpool & Wolverine. As the blockbuster hits Disney+’s streaming platform, the actor covers our Winter 2024 issue, talking on her reunion with her Logan co-star, Hugh Jackman, returning to Laura and staying sane in the spotlight.
