Riley Keough was undaunted as she pursued a career as a performer, following in her grandfather Elvis Presley’s footsteps. However, it didn’t stop her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, from trying to talk her out of it.

In an interview with Elle UK, published on Oct. 27, Keough shared that her late mother warned her about the downsides of being in the spotlight, especially as a member of a famous family.
