Maya Hawke Embraces 'Nepo Baby' Label, Cites Privilege in Career

The 'Stranger Things' star acknowledges her Hollywood success is partly due to her famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.

  • Hawke admits nepotism played a role in her casting for major projects, including Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'
  • She feels lucky and comfortable with her privileged position, despite not 'deserving' it.
  • Hawke believes not using her advantages wouldn't benefit anyone and is fine with being made fun of.
  • Her relationships with her parents are positive and honest, which she values more than public opinion.
  • She has collaborated with both parents on recent projects, including 'The Kill Room' and 'Wildcat.'
