Maya Hawke, daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, is at peace with her success coming from nepotism. Asked by the Times Of London if she deserves her success, she replied: “‘Deserves’ is a complicated word… there are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway.” One of her first major roles was in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and she regrets implying that she was cast based solely on skill.
“I’ve been wildly made fun of for this clip when I said, on the red carpet, that I auditioned,” she said. “I never meant to imply that I didn’t get the part for nepotistic reasons — I think I totally did.” Hawke, who recently dropped her third album, also said she’s “depressed” her concerts are filled with Stranger Things fans. “Like, I’m glad there are people here, but I guess they don’t care about the music.” (EW)
