The daughter of Uma Therman ("Kill Bill," "Pulp Fiction") and Ethan Hawke ("Dead Poets Society") Maya Hawke didn't hesitate to comment on having famous parents and acknowledge it has afforded her a level of privilege in show business.
In a September 2022 interview with Rolling Stone, the "Stranger Things" actor said, "I have no idea who I would be if I was somebody else. I feel like the only way to handle the nepotism thing — which definitely gives you massive advantages in this life — is, you will get chances for free, but the chances will not be infinite; so you have to keep working and do a good job. If you do a bad job, the chances will stop. That's my ethos."
When asked how she handles comments about nepotism, she said, "I don't really interact with either the haters or the complimenters very much. I love this piece of advice I've gotten, which is that if you read the good reviews, they're partly true, and if you read the bad things that people say, they're also partly true."
