Riley Keough’s Premonitions Often Come True in Her Life and Career

Riley Keough had a feeling she would get the part of Daisy in her new series, similar to the premonition she had about her future husband soon after they met. “Daisy Jones & The Six” premieres this Friday on Prime Video.

I’m so glad that however it came about that she was NOT asked about her mother and all the other family dynamics, that she was spared that pain! Thank you Stephen Colbert!!

@@pattiebee9703 It’s professionalism! There are times when we have to wear two faces. She’s grieving; she just knows that you don’t bring your problems to work. You do what you have to do at work, and then you cry your tears at home, because she can’t grieve without the press photographing her. She’s a strong and wise woman! Riley has been blessed with a wonderful pillow to emotionally fall on: Her work, husband, family and friends!

She lost her mother and her brother, i can't imagine how much pain she's going through especially that she's promoting her new series one and a half month after her mother's passing. She said that she's doing good in this interview but inside her heart, you can tell that she's still heartbroken on her mom's passing. Stay strong Riley ♥

[@neilcvernon6957]

She will be ok she is worth billions FFS !

[@JoelWende]

She’ll be fine. And she knows this is her one shot. She’s 33…which, whilst it shouldn’t be, is old for an actress starting out in Hollywood. This show has to work.

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

@@JoelWende "starting out"? She's been starring in movies and prior TV series (The Girlfriend Experience) for like a decade or more, where have you been? lol

[@chloearrington2518]

​@Colin Neil Vernon um that's a stretch. She is comfortable but the Presleys never hit billionaire status. And regardless of what her bank statement says, her mother died less than two months ago. Suddenly. That pain does not just go away. And she is being strong and fulfilling her professional obligations - does not mean it is at all easy for her. Learn some compassion.

[@JoelWende]

@@toddpinkstonisgod There is a difference between acting in, and starring in. The GFE was one season and then continued on without her for season 2 and 3. Her film roles have been supporting roles. If you walked down the street and asked people who Riley Keough was most people wouldn’t know, and a large percentage of those who did would only know because of the Elvis connection. This is the first time that a show is being marketed off the back of her name. That’s why she is everywhere on every show. They need to get people to know her. It has to work otherwise it’ll be very hard for her to come back from. On the other hand, she has shown herself to be an exceptionally talented director and producer, and I suspect that is where her long term future actually is!

[@Bodhismile]

She has so much grace and composure a month and a half after losing her mother. I remember when my mother died and the grief process only a month and a half out was so raw. Much respect for Riley, for showing up, present and upbeat. My thoughts continue to be with her and her family.

[@pamelarose9712]

That's exactly what I was thinking.When my mother passed, took me long time to function😢😢

[@Bodhismile]

@@pamelarose9712 I was distraught for a couple months (Mom died in first part of February 30 yrs ago) and I ended up having to go to grief counseling later in the year. I had to hit the ground running at work soon after Mom died and put on a professional face. It was so hard each day when I would get home from work. I see Riley is the same age when losing her mother as I was when my mother died. I wish her all the best in her grief process. My heart goes out to her.

its been a year and a half for me and i am still in a fog. agree

[@BryanCostner]

I know by the fact that people knew her more as Elvis' granddaughter but I wish people would give her more credit as an actress. Zola, The Devil All The Time, Under The Silver Lake, The Guilty, Earthquake Bird, Logan Lucky, It Comes At Night, Lovesong, The Runaways and of course Mad Max Fury Road, she's great in just about everything I've seen her in.

yeah, I've watched a few interviews, seems she's made any Mama talk a no go. Healthy boundaries.

[@BryanCostner]

She lost her mom and her brother, it's best to just not talk about her mother's passing for now. Losing a parent could take their child like weeks or months to process it so it's best to just don't bring up her mom. Even during Lisa Marie's funeral, her husband was the one who read the note that she made for her mom
