Earlier this month, Keough described what it was like to star with her husband for a few scenes in Daisy Jones & The Six in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, saying that it was "weirder" than she imagined.
"The cameo came about because I have to have intercourse with a random person in the show, and the producers were like, 'It would be so funny if it was your husband,' " Keough told host Seth Meyers.
"Was that more or less awkward?" asked Meyers, 49.
"It was more awkward!" Keough admitted. "I think they were thinking it would be less awkward, and then we got there and they're like, 'This is really uncomfortable.' "
She continued, "For one, I've never had pretend sex with my husband. And for two, you know, normally, typically, when you do these things and it's somebody coming in for the day, you're like, 'Hello, nice to meet you,' and you kind of get down to business and it's very professional. But with him, it was just, like, really … we were just giggling the whole time."

While doing promotion for her new Prime Video show, the actress gave fans a glimpse into her relationship with her partner, whom she met on the set of Mad Max: Fury Roadin 2012, sharing how she "knew" she would marry him after their second date.
"I don't see the future, but I know certain things are going to happen," Keough said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. "Like when I met my husband, he came out of the gas station on our second date and I thought, 'I'm going to marry him and have kids with him.'"
The actress added, "I just knew. We didn't even say 'I love you' yet."
Keough and Smith-Petersen tied the knot in February 2015 after sharing news of their engagement the previous August.
They have since become a family of three after welcoming a baby girl in 2022, PEOPLE confirmed back in January.
