When Maya Hawke (Robin) Teased Ethan Hawke, 51 for Getting Close to Rihanna

The Stranger Things’ star, Maya Hawke shares a funny tweet to celebrate her dad,
Ethan Hawke on Father’s Day. The actress has displayed her charms several times,
but now we get to see that she has a good sense of humor too! 

The 24-year-old quickly rose up the ranks of top upcoming actresses once she got
her break on the Duffers’ show. She plays the bumbling Robin, who is best
friends with Hawkins’s best hair dude, Steve Harrington. Although she entered
the show at its peak, it didn’t take long for fans to warm up to her character. 


MAYA HAWKE TAUNTS HER DAD, ETHAN HAWKE FOR SWITCHING SEATS WITH BROTHER LEVON

A tweet from 2020 shows Ethan Hawke and Rihanna chatting at a basketball game.
Initially, Ethan’s son was seated beside her, but Ethan switched seats to get
close to the singer.

This incident made quite the news back then. Recently, Maya brought it up again
when she shared the tweet on her Instagram story on Father’s Day.

Well, now we know where the actress gets her humor from. Interestingly, the
father-daughter duo appeared together in The Good Lord Bird. Apparently, the
producers wanted to cast Maya in the role of Annie Brown and he couldn’t be more
proud

We will see the duo together on our screens again in Revolver.

HER MOTOR MOUTHING SKILLS IMPRESSED THE DUFFER BROTHERS

Maya Hawke is a fast talker and she admitted so herself. She revealed
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Por1MeYwKlU] that when she gets nervous she
tends to blabber a lot. The Duffers brothers saw it as a positive sign and
instead wrote her page-long monologues. Season 4 of Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things] saw her character Robin bond
with Nancy despite some hurdles initially. She follows Nancy’s lead to join in
on the Vecna hunt and takes dangerous risks to save her friends and the town of
Hawkins. 

We will next see her in Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City and Bradley Cooper’s
Maestro.
