She looks sooo much like her mom standing next to her dad 🤣
She has her mom’s face copy and pasted lol but the shape of her head and her ears are 100% her dad’s.
Also her voice, it’s identical to Uma’s!
@RobGordonJClong face like Ethan but face looks like Uma
But when she’s standing next to uma she looks like Ethan???😂
She 100% has her mother's eyes, but she has her father's nose and mouth/teeth. She has a nice blend of both of her parents that pop out in certain angles and lighting.
she quite literally got the best features of both of them imo
5:40 if anyone thinks actors/performers don't read reviews, they're nuts. They see everything people say about them
and he quoted it perfectly...that probably stuck with him
That's literally impossible
Not "ALL" of them.
The same reason why Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande deleted their twitter accounts because the harsh comments theyre reading are already consuming them.
Probably not everything. But definitely some.
Love when he says about flirting with Rihanna "that's the family's shame" and when she realizes she corrects: "No, it's family's pride"
Shoot your shot
I would have paid 3x the ticket price for those already ridiculously priced floor seats just to hear EH flirt with Rihanna lol but then I would have tried to steal his attention, would love to have a long interesting conversation with EH he’s so hyper but also chill and eccentric like me :) or flirt with Rihanna for that matter as long as she flirted right back ;) hehe I suppose a basketball game wouldn’t be the most obvious venue though :(
@@JasperMckenzie-fj3zo let the person dream lmao
He has Great taste, riri is fine :)
*What a great couple!*
"You cheated?"
"No I saw yours."
"Oh, that's cheating."
LOL
That was funny indeed, however later on I rewatched it and I think that his point was, he did see her answer after writing his own, not before.
Ethan thought cheating meant you screw your nanny. Not his fault for getting confused.
Women making issue out of nowhere
She looks like the perfect mix between her mother and her father it's surreal 😄
Yeah, absolutely 😊
And it's funny because her father and mother have distinctively different facial features, like nothing similar-looking at all... yet she looks like both of them❤
All I see and hear is Uma
Exactly what I wss gonna day Mom nose up mouth doen Ethan
nah she just looks like Uma
i think what distinguishes maya from other so-called nepo babies is that she doesn't hide her family connection and instead embraces it, which is refreshing in a way
she really just don’t care about it, that is so awesome
Endearing
Kaia Gerber and Lily Rose Depp should take some notes from her…
And she is actually talented.
@mileslawShe’s brilliant in Stranger Things and the version of ‘Little Women’ (she played Jo March) she is in is better than Great Gerwig’s version #notsorry ❤
He's so obviously proud of his daughter! So heart-warming
I'm happy for him. I've been a fan of his since Explorers.
Listening to him talk about how he couldn't get a babysitter for Maya when she was 12 and so he took her to work...as a parent, it just resonates with me so so much!
You and a million other parents.
You only have so long to work it out before you gotta get out the door. 😂
Kinda makes me laugh considering he cheated with the nanny when he was married.
I don’t know much about the story but… where was Uma?
@dcthakillanot sure It matters but considering her career probably working
They feel so honest on their interactions, so genuine, very wholesome family
You didn't have that did you?
@DRDetriot-vl3snwhat even warranted this man
@DRDetriot-vl3snWTF dude?!
Not every father and daughter can achieve this level of closeness.
This daughter and father duo is one of the best I’ve seen. Seems like Maya Hawke has learned or even inherited how her father demonstrates his quirkiness and wit.
Inherited, yes❣️
Don't forget to give credit to Uma's quirkieness and wit-her mother.
It feels like she was raised to be humble. And it's not all about red carpets and flashy lights. Ethan and Uma raised her right!
@violetviolet888UMA THURMAN IS MAYA HAWKE’S MOTHER? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT? 😭😭😭
That's how it works in most families.
Healthy parent/adult child relationships are so wholesome and cute to me
so refreshing to see
It makes me sad, never got to have this.
@GWiz-mq5pu 🫂
(been there)
@GWiz-mq5pu me too
I looooove their father&daughter relationship. That some successful parenting. Great work, Ethan and Uma.
That’s what you got from that? Yikes. There is clearly a lot of tension underneath the surface there. They are just good actors. They’re acting here.
its sad how this is seen as outstanding. More fathers need to be present and involved in their children's lives. I'm glad they have a good bond though.
@Amanda-ee8ohwho hurt you?
@Amanda-ee8ohyeah, no.
@Amanda-ee8ohwhere are you even getting that. Even just following her on social media you can see how much she loves both her parents, though she seems closer to Ethan.
Ethan turning beet red being called out about FaceTime is so cute 😂
May is amazingly the same face as her mom
nickgur380July
You can tell their truly a family that loves the artistry of acting and film
they're
They’re wrong on all the answers but then they discuss everything about the question. That’s the show: the talking. Not the answering.
They're not wrong on all the answers at all...
Ethan gets the award for best supporting father, which is WAY better than any dumb Oscar! 🥇🏆
Ethan needs an honorary Oscar just for that
Definitely!
he aint gettin no reward for supporting husband. typical husband cheater.
@iibugsy ah yes lets find a way to hate as always in this society
@iibugsybro stop, that shouldn’t matter because it’s clear how much he loves his children, especially maya, you clearly need to be more educated.
Such a sweet and genuine relationship. She was talking about a year in which she saw Madonna, Gaga, and Adele in concert and the thing that stood out was how much he had taught her and helped her grow that year. "Some good fathering that year," as she put it. I can't remember the last time I heard anyone say something like that, famous or otherwise. Also, she is young Uma Thurman in the flesh; it's uncanny.
Mother's looks and her father's charm. Perfect.
Both their and her own talent❤
Mom's looks and Dad's personality ! This interview was soo sweet and refreshing to watch !
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Mom's glance..but she looks like her father!
She def has her dads eyes
I see more Uma, I think the hairstyle helps. But the uncanny resemblance to Uma’s voice and speech manner caught my attention most
She has that smile smirk from her dad
0:59 ethan peeking and realising he was wrong is the most adorable reaction ever 😭
AntonaFuries-vt8gxwdym
AntonaFuries-vt8gxhe's a fucking man
cute
he turns beet red too lol it's adorable
He is a man.AntonaFuries-vt8gx
The fact Ethan and Uma are such underrated amazing actors.. And they raised their kids to be so humble and real amongst the glitz and glam of Hollywood
its perfect
They are two of the most well known people in the acting world. How is that in ANY way underrated?
Thanks, millennial, for using your trademark idiotic word "underrated". As always, not one damn thing underrated about either of them.
Amongst the nepo babies, Maya is actually a good actor. I like her.
She looks just like Uma 🥹
"we're like the boring ugly indie kardashians" oh Maya…you and your family are far more exciting, interesting, attractive, and beautiful than that family could ever hope to be.
Maya Hawke needs to be in Kill Bill 3! It can happen! She’s got the iconic voice, look and mannerisms.
well she is Uma Thurman's daughter too, after all....
exactly why she wouldn't be. do you remember the hell Uma went through on that shoot?
@AOlderTrue, that accident was no joke. I don’t think Maya would want to do it knowing what her mom went through.
Maya was in Once Upon a Time. She has already worked with Tarantino
Her playing the adult Bebe would be fun.
i love how ethan knows DETAILS about everything regarding maya 🥺❤️
That's a dad that genuinely cares about the life and growth of his daughter, and I truly respect that.
I know it's a low bar but I've seen parents half as busy or travel frequent as he is that would have to force themselves to pay attention or even actually care about their own children & it's kinda sad really.
Isnt that common?
@biffii5568nope
@biffii5568 nope
@biffii5568 unfortunately, no.
Some fathers don’t even know their small children’s doctor or teacher. My parents are divorced and my dad knows very little about me (and I wasn’t kept away from him). Even my husband’s dad (who he grew up with) he had a relationship with him but they didn’t get into details of either person’s lives - when he was alive.
Jimmy Kimmel did a whole bit and you can find it online as an example.
Did Ethan's genes even TRY with Maya????
Its crazy how Maya won the gene lottery and got best features of her parents.
Ethan and Maya just radiate coolness. Maya just always seems so relaxed and down-to-earth
Reall
I always thought Maya is a beautiful blend of both her parents, but she looks SO MUCH like her mother sitting next to her handsome father. Wild! I really love this interview because I had no idea they were so close. It's obvious they love and admire each other, and Ethan never takes off the parent hat next to his adult daughter. It's a different relationship when your children become adults, but you don't stop being a parent. And I love that he doesn't blur that line.
Hello Jean
How are you doing today?
Perfect combo❤
the way she talks is so uma.
Sounds like her too
Maya looks exactly like an amalgamation of Una and Ethan, you can see both of them in her
4:40 lmao, the "yeah..." at the same time after they finished singing, it was cute
I love that she have so many mannerisms of him ❤
As the father of two daughters, I enjoyed this. There's nothing more important than raising your children, and nothing more rewarding than seeing them develop into adults. Bravo, Ethan and Maya!
I think he has 3 daughters…..
@kellyrob4296 the commenter is talking about himself, not ethan…
@sofimr , Thank you! I reread it and IDK how I made that mistake!!! Sorry, to @garrettbiwell3100!!! Thx again!💜
@kellyrob4296this is the most graceful way I've seen someone accept their mistake in a youtube comments section lol
Make sure yours daughters is not on onlyfans
"no it's family pride" lmao
Having a narcissistic father, this shows me what a relationship with a father can/could’ve been like. Parents really shape the success of an individual and life…I’m stuck working on my traumas still in my thirties struggling to let the artist out. How beautiful to watch ❤
Me too...I´m sending you lots of love and all the best ❤
@melisakrasniqi4696giving you a hug back 🥲 thanks for that ❤ we got this M!! ❤
My goodness, I felt as if I wrote this. You so totally got this. ❤
Me too. I have two narc parents. All the healing to you ❤
@whatamachine89 to you as well ❤️ I’m sending you a hug!! hang in there. I had to put some distance between me and him and leave my hometown, that’s the only way I knew I would be free to live my life…at least somewhat. Even then, the metal voice brainwashed by him makes me feel guilty every so often that I am experiencing and living good things in my life here and there. They leave a mental trap all over that we need to clean up. 🧼
11:36 "I fell like these things, people are supposed to be really funny" - Dude, i'm having the best time of my life here watching you both!!!!!
she's literal an identical copy of her mother
including the big boobs lol
Carbon copy 💯 it’s crazy
She's actually the perfect blend of both...almost like she was created in a lab with 50 percent Ethan and 50 percebt Uma.
nooo she looks so so much like both of them
@camila-aaliyah i was going to say something like her mother and father merged together but i thought people would reply saying that's what genes are 😭
This is awesome because you can tell how involved he is, as well as how passionate they both are about their craft, and they share the love of acting
Ethan is my Leo. He needs that Oscar after all these years. The midnight trilogy alone was more than enough.
Such s brilliant series.
Just rewatched them this month now that I’m closer to in life to them in the 3rd film and wow does that series ever change and grow as you get older. Loved it.
Agreeeeeeed 👏👏👏
He should've got one for the black phone he was chilling in that movie
Wow she definitely looks like her mom for sure but you can see she’s got some of her dad aswel. Such a beautiful family.
So sweet, she noticed that her father was hurt because of the lack of nominees and stuff and she said nevermind, she didn't want to insist on the topic to spare him of this disappointment. She is such a sunny person
Their personalities are so similar, it's adorable! I don't think I've actually seen any of Ethan Hawke's interviews before this.
you should, he's incredibly insightful.
Yeah, you should the guy is wise, deep, eloquent and funny, i like listening to him
@allistar34 yep, that video of him talking about creativity is fucking A
A funny one I remember is when he mentioned showing his kids stuff with him in it when he was younger and they watched dead poets and his son afterwards asked so which one was you dad?
You missed out.
Maya feels like a young Uma running on Ethan software
Ethan flirting with Rihanna was some info that I didn't know I needed
Maya is Evolving literally into her mother!!
This guy KNOWS his kids and couldn't hide himself if he tried!❤ I have always loved this guy. He is incredibly open.
Ethan Hawke is so underrated. He's so excellent and I genuinely believe that he does elevate his colleagues. Maya is wonderful too. Super talented family and their dynamic is awesome. Like you just really want to go record shopping with them (followed by a tipsy dinner, a trip to the theater, then a punk rock show and late night snack.).
Very Before Sunset just minus the romance elements 😂😌
@miaborges3674yes but they never went to see the play 😂😂🐮
Gattaca is my favorite movie of all time
He is also a fantastic writer. I loved Bright Ray of Darkness
how is he underrated he is a very renowned actor chill out lol
Their dynamic warms my heart. Love both of them
Wow, Maya looks exactly half Ethan half Uma. So cute!!
She's like 98% Uma 😂
She could be Uma’s twin! Genes never cease to amaze 😮
‘How many Oscar nominations does Ethan Hawke have?’
Not enough was the correct answer. Give my man his 4,003 Oscars - he is severely underrated, and truly deserves it. I loved his performance in training day - to be able to keep up with Denzel Washington is insane.
It's so wholesome that they can't stop complimenting each other.
I agree. How the heck did Ethan Hawke NOT get 4000 Oscar Nomimation already?
I stopped watching The Academy Awards at least about 14 to 15 years ago. They 've snubbed a lot of great actors and also, as a comic book fan and comic book movie fan, I feel like they have this attitude of looking down their nose on Super Hero movies and popular movies( but that's another subject). Never mind an Oscar Nomination, Ethan Hawke should have WON at least one Oscar by now. And I always say the same thing about Tom Cruise, too. How is it that Tom Cruise doesn't have at least one Oscar Award by now? I got tired of the Oscars and their snobbery a long time ago but I couldn't agree more that Ethan Hawke should have more Oscar Nominations to his name at this point.
@JR-ju3kjThe Oscar's last year were pretty decent ngl
@themoviecritic1092 If you say so.
Him not getting one for First Reformed was robbery
i agree but why do you have to disparage you partners for that? like he talks about Danzel, i don't think that's right :/
I love how he is a total Dad 🤣 not remembering the concert celeb, amazed by FaceTime, and he knows his little girl … love these two ❤
She looks like her beautiful mother wow.
10:52 Ethan turns red while Maya imitates him when on a Facetime call- adorable! 😍
Thank you for your love and support it’s a pleasure talking to you over here.where are you from😊
What a fantastic duo. It's so awesome to see a healthy and close bond between a father and daughter in Hollywood and nice to see an actor who doesnt downplay their famous family. Maya was lucky but she's used the good fortune of her family connections to learn as much as she could, work hard and grow into a really promising actor. Cant wait to see Wildcat, Ethan Hawke continues to impress me with his sheer number of talents. Blaze was a great movie, he seem to have cornered the market for unsung, folk hero biopics.
I can’t wait to see him In Reservation Dogs. Elora’s dad?
As someone who grew up without a father...I am smiling big at their wonderful dynamic and living vicariously through them..
me too
Honestly this girl's beautiful face is upper part Uma and lower part Ethan OMG
The way he says “I think this was supposed to be funny” and she just says “we’re just really serious people” killed me
Its so funny. Physically she is a copy of her mother, but her personality, the way she talks and even some of her mannerisms have Ethan written all over them.
I have never seen an interview with maya and uma next to one another to compare, but on this one the similarities are undeniable
Ive literally watched every interview with Ethan hawke ever he’s my favourite celebrity, he’s so wise and gentle he just radiates amazing energy and so does maya!!
He makes great movies, thank God for actors who aren’t into all the hyped garbage.
I think just his general energy is a big part of the reason why the Before trilogy works so well tbh
I want more of these two. Way more fun than the Kardashians 😂
lolll fr
when she said they were the "uglier kardashians" i was like GIRL NOOOOOO
Y’all clearly love the Kardashians. It’s okay to admit it.
The cards Shia s have an empty life everything is scripted 😂😂😂😂
They need to do which movies she likes n hates of him
Wow Ethan is a great dad he is so involved with her life and remembers all these details from her childhood. Such a sweet video they have an awesome relationship. They really are so similar it’s crazy seeing them next to each other and seeing the similarities in their mannerisms. Both of them are very talented actors.
If you pause at exactly 0:46, you see Uma. Unbelievable!
She looks exactly like her mother, especially in interviews
8:34 he knows he deserves an oscar 😭
correction: 4003 oscars*
Their rapport is parent child goals. I hope I have this with my daughter when she grows up.
8:13 I’ll never forget seeing Uma, Ethan and all their young children at a Shakespeare in the Park production in Seward park in Seattle Washington. The most rinky-dink Shakespeare production company in a small city and they were rapt in attention and the children were very well behaved. I’ve loved Ethan as an actor my entire life but my favorite thing about him is how truly down to earth he is.
Having just moved to Seattle I am sorry I missed that! All I've seen in Seward Park are the Audubon tours!
Could I ask what year that was?
@thegnome73 probably 2001-2004?
My husband was part of the crew on movie starring Ethan, shot outside USA. I was able to visit set one day, and attend the wrap party. Was so cool to see him work. He comes across as a very professional, grounded and laid-back person
When she said "It's family pride" was so sweet ❤
0:07 oh I love this already. The humility of a father knowing his daughter has more important things to do and to learn than just him ❤
when they asked to change the question on their own after talking it through, wow they really liked playing this. so cute!!
Thank you for your love and support it’s a pleasure talking to you over here.where are you from
I love how she is holding the whiteboard sideways and changes it after she sees how Ethan is holding it - like father like daughter 😂
I didn’t know people can have these type of relationship with your dad.
2:40 i think ethan just dodged a bullet
That was soooo funny e
He deffffff should have won something for Training day!
That little nod Ethan makes knowing Maya can't spell😂
Lmaooo
It’s the widening of the eyes for me 😂
Such a dad 😂
Love Ethan’s statement at the end. Though he is proud of his work, there are other things in life that are more important, which seems to be instilled in the family.
I liked that too, that he was almost gratified she got it wrong because it means as a family they've been focusing on more important things.
Wow...no mistaking Maya being Uma Thurman's daughter. She looks just like her Mom.
the way they changed the entire rules of the game and simple did their thing is the most 'Hawke' thing and i love it!
"ah no we went to see Madonna and we were sitting to Gaga " surreal hhhh
This is so refreshing to see mutual admiration between father and daughter. I love this so much. I'm happy Maya is finally getting acknowledged for her talents. 🥰❤
Hello Camella
How are you doing today?
10:34 ethan’s face when maya said she can’t spell 😂
I died 😂😂 "yeah, you really can't"
7:18 in my opinion, these type of question is more interesting than a question with specific answer.
I didn't even realize Uma is her mom until now, but now I can't unsee it
Love their father/daughter relationship 🥲 also, I want Ethan's jacket and Maya's sweater 🤎🍂
I think Maya’s sweater is the Bristol sweater from Khaite. What I want and can’t find are her trousers!
@Lucia-cu7ji thank you! 💖 I looked up the Variety article and it lists the clothing they wore :) Her trousers are from Stella McCartney 'pleated pinstriped wool pants'
@kensym1099 Amazing, tysm for that!
They seem like they have such a great relationship 🥹
Ethan and Maya are neither boring nor ugly!
Only neepo baby that I adore. She is so humble and talented ❤
Those Thurman genes be strong.
ethan talking about him being caught openly flirting with rihanna was so real LMAO
Maya's got the cool, chill vibes from both her parents.
This was a cute video
Wouldn't mind seeing more parent child interviews
Is it weird that I have a crush on both of them?
Nope I'm the same. Let's just pretend its completely normal 😂
@jessicacoupe7306 normal in west weird in asia
@danyal6126 definitely not all of asia
Yes, but you're not alone, so . . .👍
bisexualcore
She looks SOOOOOO much like her mom
I love her voice. So unique. That whole family has great speaking voices!
They are charming together. Obviously, a very good relationship.
They are so amazing, and you can see that they really have a strong bond. I caught myself smiling through the entire video.
It made me smile too
Dude. She is a spitting image of her mother. This was incredibly endearing!
She look exactly like her mom. So beautiful
