Ethan Hawke Says His Teen Daughters Consider Maya the Famous Hawke

He relayed the joke from a Tulsa set visit while filming The Lowdown with his family in town.

Overview

  • On a Jan. 5 Late Show appearance, Hawke recalled his daughters telling director Sterlin Harjo it was harder having a famous sister, joking, "Nobody cares about my dad" and that Maya’s photo was in classmates’ lockers.
  • Hawke said The Lowdown was shot in Tulsa, his wife Ryan Shawhughes served as a producer, the family relocated during filming, and his younger daughters attended public school there.
  • He added that the family watched the Stranger Things finale together around New Year’s and he praised Maya’s performance as Robin Buckley along with the show’s final season.
  • In a Jan. 7 TODAY interview, Hawke said similar fan encounters favoring Maya have happened multiple times and described the role reversal as an incredible feeling.
  • Maya has separately recounted a fan approaching them in public to speak to “Robin,” underscoring how the Netflix hit has elevated her recognition beyond her father’s.
