Hollywood actor Ethan Hawke has shared that he was impressed by his daughter Maya Hawke’s work in the superhit streaming series Stranger Things.
The 55-year-old actor has heaped praise on 27-year-old Maya, who he shares with his ex-wife, Uma Thurman, for the way she has “set off on her own” in the entertainment world, and he was delighted by her performance as Robin in Netflix`s blockbuster sci-fi series, reports ‘Female First UK’.
He told Live From E!: Golden Globes 2026, “Well, I`m proud of her as a human being, first and foremost. But she is awesome on that show and that show is right up my alley and I loved it”.
Ethan was a big fan of Maya`s character on the show, which recently came to an end with its fifth and final season, and he`s glad to see her thriving as an artist.
He added, “Robin is a great character, and the fact that she`s as young as she is, and she`s already set off on her own. Her music is amazing, all her work inspires me. I am very proud of her, is the short answer”.
As per ‘Female First UK’, Ethan recently shared he always suspected Maya`s life would follow this path.
Speaking to Sydney Sweeney for Variety`s Actors on Actors series last month, he said, “I knew when she was about 4 that she was gonna be an artist. And I knew that she was gonna be a very good one. That was her safe place. Watercolouring, dancing, and singing all throughout her childhood. There were a lot of things about her childhood that were really, really hard and complicated, and things I regret for her”.
The actor didn`t delve into Maya`s early struggles, but he recalled a moment when a teacher asked if she was happy”, and she had an answer beyond her years.
