‘Stranger Things’ star Ethan Hawke explains why she doesn’t tell her father spoilers 

In the end, despite his enormous success as an actor, director, and writer, Ethan Hawke is just a proud parent.

The father of four, who has “tremendous respect for her talents,” just directed his 25-year-old oldest daughter Maya in the feature film Wildcat, which hits theaters on May 3.

Wearing the director’s hat, Ethan, 52, says he had to watch out that he didn’t get too enamored with her performance.

When asked about his concern that they be really professional on set, he replied, “I worried I would fail her if I did that,” to People magazine.

“There were so many serious artists there to try to make a serious work, and we had so many amazing collaborators.” They weren’t there for us to shoot a home video or for it to be cute.”

However, during his viewing of Stranger Things, in which Maya plays Robin Buckley? That’s a very other story.

When I watch Stranger Things, I can geek out with so much love and be proud of her,” he remarked. But as I’m leading her, it’s my responsibility to see that we reach that objective.

He explains that Maya is now filming the next season of the well-liked Netflix series in Georgia, but he makes a concerted effort to persuade her to keep the specifics to himself.

He laughs and adds, “I nudge her for them and she won’t give them up!” “You’ve got a huge mouth, she says. Thus, no, not even to my beloved father.”
