In Reunited, Awards Insider hosts a conversation between two Emmy contenders who have collaborated on a previous project. Today, we speak with Riley Keough, who stars in Daisy Jones & the Six, and Juno Temple, who appears in Ted Lasso. They previously worked together on the 2012 indie horror film Jack & Diane.
“Do you remember the phone in the toilet and the rice, the whole thing?” Juno Temple asks Riley Keough with a smile moments after we sign on to a Zoom.
“Oh, my God, didn’t we put it in quinoa?” Keough replies, with a laugh.
Drunkenly dropping your phone into a toilet at a bar and then hoping the grain gods can save it from an early death was just one of the many rites of passage the two actors shared when they lived together in New York when they were in their early 20s. At the time, they were filming the 2012 indie horror film Jack & Diane, in which they play, as Keough puts it, “lesbian werewolves,” or two women who fall into an obsessive love with each other.
More than 10 years later, they’ve both grown up, and their careers have grown as well. Temple has just wrapped up her third and most likely final season of Ted Lasso, playing scrappy publicist Keeley Jones, while Keough transformed into a ’70s rock star for the breakout hit limited series Daisy Jones & The Six.
Both currently in Los Angeles for a bit—though Temple says she’s “very transient right now” and will soon be back in the UK—the pair of good friends reflect on their transformative shows, what it’s like to let go of a part, and why they’re finally looking for grown-up roles.
Vanity Fair: When did you first meet?
Riley Keough: Was it in our apartment? We were living together for the film we were doing in an apartment. I feel like I just met you there.
Juno Temple: I think you just had your hair cut and dyed.
Keough: It was the first time I’d ever cut my hair in that way because my hair is really important to me, and so it was a real crazy thing. I think we just met in the apartment — which is crazy, to put two people in an apartment to live together who’ve never met.
Temple: You walked me through my first panic attack. Literally, I thought I was dying and you were like, “No, you’re not. It’s okay. I know what this is.”
Keough: I’m like, “I get this every day.”
How would you two describe where you were in your acting careers at that point?
Keough: Well, Juno was much more established than I was at the time. I think this was the third movie I’d ever done.
Temple: I remember that you had just booked Mad Max: Fury Road before coming out there, and you were supposed to go do it straight after and then it kept getting pushed, right?
Keough: Yes. I’d maybe done a Couple jobs before this movie. And Juno was a proper established indie queen, I think.
Temple: I don’t remember that, but I definitely had said yes to anything and everything and wanted to work all the time, which I still I do. I love work so much.
This was around the time you started landing on “Rising Star” lists, wasn’t it Juno?
Temple: That was after Killer Joe. That, for me, was really a gamechanger in how people saw me as an actress. And that Rising Star Award, kind of coincided with that — which again, is a decade ago — [I’m] still rising. [Laughs]
Keough: I know. I think that all the time when I’m like, “I’ve been hearing this for fucking 15 years.”
Temple: Even one when Ted Lasso came out. Someone emailed me something saying a link to IMDB’s top people to watch. I was like, “I’m in my thirties.”
