As part of a new cover story with Vanity Fair, Riley Keough was asked about what it was like growing up in the spotlight from her grandfather Elvis Presley and her mom’s relationships with big name stars like Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
“My whole childhood was probably very extreme. In hindsight, I can see how crazy these things would be to somebody from the outside. But when you’re living in them, it’s just your life and your family. You just remember the love, and I had real love for Michael,” Riley said of Jackson while speaking with Vanity Fair.
“I think he really got a kick out of being able to make people happy, in the most epic way possible, which I think he and my grandfather had in common,” she added, before comparing her time at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch with grandfather Elvis’s Graceland estate.
“Which one did I like better? I spent more time at Neverland than Graceland, to be honest,” she shared. “That was a real home, whereas Graceland was a museum in my lifetime.”

Awesome. I’m hoping she’s able to navigate through the BS she’ll have to deal with running her Grandfather’s estate too.
