Dafne Keen is sharing her spirit animal – literally!
The 14-year-old Logan actress, who is starring in HBO’s upcoming adaptation of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, talked to Entertainment Weekly about her ideal dà¦mon during an interview at Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif.
Dà¦mons, for those unfamiliar with the trilogy, are one of the most unique and captivating parts of the His Dark Materials world.
In the series, every human has an animal companion, with whom they can communicate, that acts as a living, breathing representation of the human’s soul – which means that the shape a person’s takes can tell you a lot about them.
“You know these small tropical monkeys?” Dafne, who stars as the series’ protagonist, Lyra Belacqua, said, when asked about what her dà¦mon would be.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, who co-stars in the series, had the best answer to the dà¦mon question though: Pizza Rat.
“Do you remember that rat that dragged the pizza down the subway?” he said. “I think my dà¦mon can take care of itself, it’s a New Yorker… I think it’s a pizza subway rat. I’m a New York rat.”
