Maya Hawke is an amazing actress who has a great career in front of her. But the actress worked for it like everyone else.

Ethan Hawke Reveals How Stranger Things Saved Him From Coming Across as a “crazy, nepotistic dad”

Maya Hawke has been simply amazing as Robin Buckley. There is no actress who
could’ve played the role of Robin as well as she did. However, even though
Stranger Things is Maya’s most notable work to date, she has also appeared in
numerous projects. In fact, Maya made an appearance on The Good Lord Bird in
2020, besides her father, Ethan.

While promoting the show about legendary abolitionist John Brown, Ethan, who
played Brown, credited Stranger Things for helping Maya get cast in the show.

Let us see what Ethan Hawke had to say.


STRANGER THINGS HELPED ETHAN BE A BETTER DAD TO MAYA HAWKE

Stranger Things certainly has helped its actors make great careers for
themselves. Each actor from the show has gone on to star in multiple
high-budgeted projects.

But apparently, it helped Ethan Hawke more than anyone else as he got a chance
to work with his daughter thanks to the Netflix Original.

While appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers back in 2020, Ethan shared how he
desperately wanted Maya to play John Brown’s daughter, Annie Brown.



But Ethan said he did not know how to bring the conversation up with his
producers. Fortunately, the 51-year-old actor did not have to.

Ethan said that after watching Stranger Things, the producers themselves called
Ethan to enquire to see if Maya would be interested in playing Annie and stopped
him for being a “crazy, nepotistic dad.”

there.”
