Maya Hawke Is OK With Being a Nepo Baby: ‘I’m Comfortable With Not Deserving It and Doing It Anyway’


Maya Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, says she's 'comfortable with not deserving' the career she has due to nepotism.

“I’ve been wildly made fun of for this clip when I said, on the red carpet, that I auditioned,” Hawke said of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” “I never meant to imply that I didn’t get the part for nepotistic reasons — I think I totally did.” Hawke got her big break playing Robin Buckley in the Netflix series “ Stranger Things,” and her other credits include “Do Revenge,” “Asteroid City” and “Maestro.” Hawke previously spoke to Variety about nepotism while promoting “Wildcat,” the Flannery O’Connor biopic directed by Ethan.
