The Mad Max: Fury Road actress and music scion (grandpa is Elvis Presley, mom is Lisa Marie Presley and dad is musician Danny Keough) stars as a law school student who moonlights as an escort in the upcoming Starz series The Girlfriend Experience.
Keough strips down a lot and has a lot
of sex on the show. She knew what she was getting into. "I know that
there's going to be sex in it, it just kind of comes with it," Keough
recalls about me the first time she read a script for the pilot episode.
"I was expecting all of that."
The 13-episode series is based on director Steven Soderbergh's 2009 film of the same name.
"What's cool about it is when you're watching it, it really weirds you out," Keough said while promoting the The Girlfriend Experience and her indie flick Lovesong at the Eddie Bauer Adventure House at the Sundance Film Festival.
"It gets weird reactions because there was no lighting [and] it's super
naturalistic so it's very uncomfortable. It's like spying on this girl
doing the weird stuff."
Her husband of almost a year, stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, apparently isn't bothered by her explicit scenes.
"He's
fine," Keough said. "You know, he works in film as well so he
understands how it works and its part of the job. He watched the whole
season, he's very cool. We're like very progressive. He doesn't care
about that kind of stuff."
As for her mom, Keough said, "I showed her a couple of episodes and I did fast forward a couple of things."
No surprise, but Keough also said, "I haven't shown my dad anything!"
The Girlfriend Experience will premiere on Starz on April 10.
