Ethan Hawke Says His Daughters Think Stranger Things Star Maya Is the Famous One

He described her series fame eclipsing his at their younger children's school.

Overview

  • On Jan. 5, Hawke told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert that his teens said it is harder having a famous sister than a famous dad, joking, "Nobody cares about my dad."
  • He recalled the exchange happening as his family lived in Tulsa, where he filmed The Lowdown, with wife Ryan Shawhughes serving as a producer.
  • Hawke said Clementine, 17, and Indiana, 14, attended public school in Tulsa and were asked by director Sterlin Harjo about having a famous father.
  • He praised Maya, 27, for her performance as Robin Buckley in the show's final season, noting his family was especially invested in watching the finale.
  • Maya has shared that a fan once stopped her in public while ignoring her dad, telling her they wanted to talk to "Robin," underscoring the show's reach.
