She has two very famous parents – Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke

‘I’m not interested in hiding from the fact that my parents are actors. I’m proud of them! It’s very ordinary to pursue a career that your parents do, but when it’s in the public eye, it becomes a complicated thing.’

Maya Hawke made her feature film debut in Quentin Tarantino’s movie Once Upon A Time in Hollywood alongside Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, and Margot Robbie. She plays Flower Child.

She has modeled for Calvin Klein and All Saints as well as editorial shoots for Vogue

Hawke has dyslexia, which resulted in her changing schools frequently during her primary education

‘I was diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade and had gone to a special school for it and then left the school. I’d learned to read and write, but it was still a real struggle for me, as it is to this day.’

‘Viola Davis, Patti Smith, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Julianne Moore. I could go on forever listing names. However… my greatest inspirations have, without a doubt, been my teachers, friends, and family’

‘Eventually, I realized that there was only so much that I could put in the way of my happiness, and acting made me happier than anything else’
