[UPDATE] Now you can watch the video on YouTube.

The original story is below.

Video of 11-year-old actress Dafne Keen's screen test with Hugh Jackman for her role in Logan has emerged, showing the young actress fearlessly and emphatically nailing her try-out for Laura.

In the screentest, she sits alongside Jackman who swears at her again and again. Keen delivers her lines in both Spanish and English and it's not hard to see why she got the part. You can watch the NSFW clip here at Entertainment Weekly.

"There are qualities you can't ask of somebody to deliver," producer Mitch Parker says. "A level of strength, a stage presence, and a maturity that still doesn't really make sense to me that felt like she do this most difficult thing."

Jackman, who praised Keen's performance, also talks about how he came home with bruises from Keen after a day of shooting a scene that involved the child actor punching him in the arm multiple times. The movie's other star, Patrick Stewart, also appears in the video to talk about how great Keen was.

Logan arrives on digital platfoms on May 16, with a release to follow on Blu-ray/DVD on May 23. In other news, a black-and-white version of Logan will be in theaters for one night only, on May 16. This version of the film will also be included with the home video release.

Logan is the final X-Men movie featuring Jackman as Wolverine. Additionally, Stewart is retiring from playing Professor X.
