Actress Riley Keough addressed the notion of a 'curse' on her family, saying it stems from the tragic losses they've faced, including the deaths of her father, Elvis Presley, her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, and her brother, Benjamin. Keough, who is known for her resilience and her new memoir, believes that addiction is the real issue, and she hopes future generations will overcome these struggles.
Riley Keough has addressed whether there is a 'curse' on her famous family. The 35-year-old actress said on Tuesday that she doesn't think so. She is the granddaughter of late rock and roll legend Elvis Presley - who died in 1977 at the age of 42 - and after her mother Lisa Marie Presley passed away in January 2023 aged 54. Her brother Benjamin died in 2020 at age 27.
Speaking live on stage at the Jerry Moss Theater in Los Angeles on the last stop of her book tour, she said: 'I think the word'curse' is used because my family are looked at as this not real mythology or something, but really it's just very common things, like addiction. 'Everyone in here has loved somebody with addiction issues or has lost somebody tragically.' Riley has insisted that her 'dream' for the future is that there will not be any 'addiction struggles' within the family. Riley Keough has addressed whether there is a 'curse' on her famous family.
