Overview
- Hawke said the Rocky films inspired him to take boxing lessons, train for about six months, and enter a single bout.
- He recalled being thoroughly outmatched in the fight and said the opponent’s punches had him hitting his own hands.
- He quit the sport afterward because he did not like losing.
- The remarks were made in a newly released Actors on Actors conversation with Sydney Sweeney on December 11.
- Sweeney said she trained for roughly six months to play Christy Martin and disclosed she sustained a concussion during filming, while Hawke once portrayed an ex-boxer in a 1999 production of Camino Real.
