Maya Hawke has no difficulty with getting known as a “nepo infant,” in spite of the criticism that comes with the title. The 25-year-old daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman explained how she feels about the viral nickname provided to the kids of Hollywood’s most higher-profile figures.

“‘Deserves’ is a complex word,” Maya told The Occasions UK in a current interview. “There are so numerous persons who deserve to have this sort of life who do not, but I consider I’m comfy with not deserving it and performing it anyway. … It is okay to be produced enjoyable of when you are in rarefied air. It is a fortunate location to be. My relationships with my parents are seriously sincere and constructive, and that supersedes something any one can say about it.”

Though she feels “lucky” to have a profession in show small business, Maya noted that she “saw two paths when [she] was 1st beginning, and a single of them was: transform your name, get a nose job and go to open casting roles.”

Maya lately starred in Maestro and previously appeared in her dad’s film, Wildcat, in which she played the lead part, Flannery O’Connor. Ethan, 53, directed the biographical drama. Apart from her acting profession, Maya is also a musician, getting released 3 albums so far.

In addition to Maya, ex-spouses Ethan and Uma, 54, share son Levon collectively.

This wasn’t the 1st time that Maya opened up about her household ties. Final year, whilst advertising Wildcat, Maya and her father addressed the “insecurity” she felt whilst functioning with him on set.

“I had moments of insecurity about it whilst we have been shooting the film,” she told Wide variety in September 2023. ”But the world-wide-web does not have a lot of nuances. My dad has been a enormous teacher for me, and we want to function collectively. We like getting with every single other.”

Right after revealing that she attempted to get in touch with her dad, “Ethan,” whilst functioning on set, the Dead Poets Society actor added,  “If an individual desires to criticize us for functioning collectively, that is entirely fair. You have to let persons have their opinion. You just have to attempt to do a very good job when you are onstage.”
