Ethan Hawke and his daughter are really ‘comfortable’ around each other… Like, REALLY comfortable.
The Academy Award-nominated actor is busy promoting his latest directorial feature, Wildcat, starring his real-life daughter Maya Hawke. The rising star, whom you may already know and love from Stranger Things, plays American novelist Flannery O’Connor. And it sounds like the flick took them to some pretty scandalous places.

In a Variety cover story published on Tuesday, the father-daughter duo opened up about something that should have been really upsetting — shooting sex scenes for Maya’s character! Surprisingly, they said, it wasn’t awkward for them, like, at all. Ethan explained:
That just feels so wrong…
In the two sex scenes directed by the Purge actor, his daughter simulates getting down and dirty with co-stars Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Rafael Casal. It may not have been “weird” for either of the Hawkes — but it sounds like it sure was for the men in the sex scenes. Ethan reflected while giggling and looking at Maya:
The 25-year-old agreed, adding that they took necessary measures behind the scenes to make sure everyone was A-OK:
Ethan then cut back in, adding, “by some creepy dad.” LOLz! At least he’s aware of the optics of it… Still SO weird to us. See more from their interview (below):

You could cinematically memorialize the life and works of Southern writer Flannery O’Connor in two ways, either by making a biographical drama or by adapting her work to the screen. Actor Ethan Hawke, however, directing a dramatic feature film for the fourth time, says, “Why not both?” and gives us a mélange of the two.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Frank Marshall’s film “Alive” has never exactly been a classic, but for a certain bracket of moviegoers who saw it in 1993, it remains a vivid memory. A heart-in-mouth recreation of the 1972 Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crash — from which 16 people eventually survived 72 days stranded in a remote, snowy stretch of the Andes in western Argentina, while 29 perished — it visualized the events past the remit of worldwide news reports and magazine stories.
Ethan Hawke was called out by his daughter Maya Hawke over his attempt to flirt with Rihanna at the 2015 NBA All-Star game. At the game, Hawke, 52, was pictured in paparazzi photos – that later went viral – having an animated conversation with the singer, 35, as they sat courtside with the actor's then 13-year-old son Levon. In a recent Variety video, the father/daughter duo was playing a game to determine how well they knew each other when the 25-year-old "Stranger Things" actress was asked if her father would rather attend a Lady Gaga or Rihanna concert.

Maya Hawke is telling me about her short-lived attempt to call her father ‘Ethan’ on the set of their new film, “Wildcat.” We’re escaping the downpour at a cozy neighborhood restaurant in Chelsea, and sitting across from the striking father-daughter duo is like having a front-row seat to the royal family of art-house cinema. “I started using his name — ‘Ethan’ — to be like, ‘I’m a professional,’” the 25-year-old “Stranger Things” actress says. “And then I realized it was actually more distracting to people.
Ethan Hawke Guest Columnist I first came across the name Flannery O’Connor when I was in high school idly scanning the spines of books in my parents’ living room. I read a couple of the stories — “The Lame Shall Enter First” and “Everything That Rises Must Converge” — and became intrigued by the fact that my mother ranked O’Connor with the likes of William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams when it came to conjuring the white, post-Civil War, Southern persona. Decades later, my daughter Maya introduced me to another side of O’Connor by giving me the writer’s “Prayer Journal” — a young woman’s search for meaning through musings addressed to God, all written in a lined notebook.
Ethan Hawke has directed, written and/or acted in quite a few notably esoteric projects throughout his multi-faceted career, and he’s now come up with another in Wildcat. This one makes use of four Flannery O’Connor stories that tie in to aspects of the writer’s difficult life and truly do illuminate aspects of it in clever and plausible ways. The general public would have no clue as to what’s going on in this often perceptively made film that connects with her work, but the episodes are frequently weird, abruptly amusing and almost always cleverly pertinent in some way.
