The last time you saw Dafne Keen on screen she was doing everything Hugh Jackman couldnt. The pair starred together in the film Logan, which found Jackmans Wolverine old, dying, and requiring an entire needle full of special mutant steroids to kick ass in one final moment of claw-stabbing glory. (One final moment were not crying, youre crying). Anyway, Keen played Wolverines daughter/clone, a smaller, feistier version of the X-Man. And she kicked ass.

In HBOs newest fantasy series His Dark Materials , based on author Phillip Pullmans trilogy, Keen takes lead as Lyra, her biggest role since the X-Men stand-alone.

The series has already been renewed for a second season , as production had been concerned that Keen (14) might too quickly age out of her 12-year-old role. Here's what else to know about the young star.

Dafne has been acting since age nine.

Born in Spain, Keen grew up between Madrid and London. She was an actor before she was a middle schooler, making her on-screen debut in the Spanish drama series, The Refugees, alongside her dad, British actor Will Keen (who also appears in His Dark Materials as Father MacPhail).

She knew Spanish and martial arts before her role in Logan.

Dafne already spoke Spanish and was trained in martial arts by the time she auditioned for James Mangolds Loganwhere her character employs both these skills. Keen sent in an audition tape and won the role, beating out almost 500 other actresses for the part opposite Jackman. She was 11.

She didn't think she would get the role as Lyra on His Dark Materials.

Despite her skills and prior roles, Keen thought she might not get the part of Lyra for the BBC/HBO production. I showed up to the audition only having read half the book, she told British Vogue . I thought, Im not going to get it anyway. When she was asked to send in another tape, Keen was on vacation in Puerto Rico and got stung by a jellyfish, causing her face to swell and turn red. She joked that her audition was with a jelly-face

Jelly-face did its trick and soon Keen was called to audition in person. And then she got the role. And now the 14-year-old is holding down the most expensive TV production in BBC history. Call the jellyfish face a bit of good luck.
