The lead singer of the biggest fake rock band on television was hiding a massive secret from the world. When Riley Keough sat down on the bright stage of The Drew Barrymore Show, fans were absolutely shocked to learn the truth. The granddaughter of the legendary Elvis Presley had zero singing experience before landing the lead role in Daisy Jones and the Six. This wild revelation completely flipped everything fans thought they knew about her natural musical talent.
Riley confessed that stepping into the shoes of a superstar was terrifying because she had never trained her voice. She and her co-star Sam Claflin were the only two main actors in the cast who had never sung professionally before. They literally had to start their musical journey completely from scratch. Watching the final television show feels like a total miracle because her singing voice sounds naturally powerful and magnificent.
The interview also revealed some hilarious disasters from the past of the actors. Sam shared a highly embarrassing story about auditioning for the strange musical movie Cats. He walked into a massive waiting room filled with highly trained ballet dancers and was expected to learn a complex routine in less than two minutes. The heavy pressure and his total lack of rhythm made for a terribly funny memory that had the whole studio laughing out loud.
Beyond the tough music training, the cast built a deep bond that feels exactly like a true family. Suki Waterhouse joked about practically forcing her way into a best friendship with Riley by constantly calling and showing up at her house uninvited. The actors even showed off their hidden talents on the talk show by jumping up to do a quick salsa dance together.
