Ethan Hawke Recalled Directing His Daughter Maya In Sex Scenes For Their New Movie And Joked That They Were “So Comfortable” With It
Maya and Ethan Hawke are opening up about the experiences that come with being one of the best known father-daughter duos in Hollywood.
Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagicIn spite of the fact that the concept for the film was her idea, Maya recently admitted that she was a little nervous about collaborating with her dad on the project in light of the ongoing debate about nepotism in show business.
Bruce Glikas / Bruce Glikas / FilmMagic“I had moments of insecurity about it while we were shooting the movie,” Maya confessed in a joint interview with her dad for Variety. “But the internet doesn’t have a lot of nuances.”

Kurt Krieger – Corbis / Corbis via Getty ImagesIn turn, Ethan came to his daughter’s defense, quipping that he’s a “nepo dad” due to the fact that it was Maya who initially had the idea for the movie.
Laurent Koffel / Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images“If someone wants to criticize us for working together, that’s totally fair,” he said. “You have to let people have their opinion. You just have to try to do a good job when you’re onstage.”
Mike Coppola / Getty ImagesReflecting on shooting the movie together, Maya said the process wasn’t the “cute father-daughter thing” that people might imagine, saying instead that the “production’s demands were high.”
Axelle / FilmMagicOn top of this, she joked that she made a short-lived attempt to start calling her dad by his first name on set to seem more “professional” to others around them.

Kristy Sparow / Getty ImagesOf course, the only issue with that was that the scenes were directed by her dad — which, as you can imagine, may have been a little uncomfortable for both parties.

Frederick M. Brown / Getty Images“We needed to take care of Rafael and Cooper,” Ethan said, referring to Maya’s costars Rafael Casal and Cooper Hoffman. “I think it was weird for them. We were so comfortable with it. I couldn’t care less.”
Paul Best / Getty Images for ABAMaya joked in return that they made sure to have an intimacy coordinator on set for her costars “so that they felt safe and comfortable,” and “not like they were being spied on” by “some creepy dad,” as Ethan put it.
