Riley Keough Just Opened Up About How She Befriended Dakota Johnson
As the children of Hollywood royalty, it's perhaps unsurprising that Dakota Johnson and Riley Keough developed a friendship but on the latest episode of Call Her Daddy, Keough opened up for the first time about how the two actually befriended one another.
'We were in a band, the band was me and her sitting with her brother around a table in her apartment in New York with PhotoBooth, like doing covers of songs,' the Daisy Jones & The Six star said. 'But here's the thing: neither of us were confident singers, so we were just kind of all singing together. We were all the lead.'

Keough proceeded to confess that the name of hers and Johnson's band was Folky Porn before adding: 'Dakota and I didn't get like that far into it. It lasted like three days. And then it was over, the band broke up.'
Alex Cooper, the host of the hit podcast, then asked how the pair became friends. 'We became friends because we both grew up in L.A. and I had a friend who was friends with her boyfriend and we met at like an In-N-Out parking lot. And then we went to all the same parties in L.A. at like 16, 17, and I'd see her out and about,' Keough added. 'Then I became friends with her boyfriend, so I went to go and see his band play and she was always there and she was the coolest girl.'
This isn't the first time that Keough has confessed to her previous life as a rockstar. In a recent interview for ELLE UK’s December/January 2024 issue, the actor opened up about her former band with Johnson. ‘It’s so funny,’ she began. 'People are obsessed with Folky Porn and now I’m thinking that maybe we slept on a massive duo. Folky Porn only covered three songs, over and over. I don’t really remember what they were, but I think they were all folk bands.’
On the prospect of the band reforming, she added: ‘We’d make more folk music.’
