Ethan Hawke Was Super Jealous of Uma Thurman
August 17th, 2007 by Evil Beet
In an upcoming interview with AMC’s Shootout, Ethan Hawke tells us what we already knew: celebrity marriages fail when one person becomes way more successful than the other.
“It’s unfair when one person’s career is taking off and the other is really suffering,” he says. “What happens — it’s not that they’re jealous of each other; it’s that the person you share your life with isn’t in the mood to support. You want to have a pity party for yourself, but they’re off to the Golden Globes and you don’t want to go because everyone is going to think you are jealous.”
Ethan Hawke, who will always be that “I am not acting like anything, I am calmly reading” guy from Reality Bites in my mind, married Uma Thurman in 1998. She filed for divorce in 2004, around the time her acting career was skyrocketing and Ethan was penning angsty novels.
But thank you, Ethan, for finally stepping up to the plate and actually saying that Hollywood egos get in the way of Hollywood marriages.

“you don’t want to go because everyone is going to think you are jealous.”
Guess what, Chewed Boot: NOT going is what makes people think you’re jealous. What an cooze…and to think I used to have such a crush on him.

The word “prick” comes to mind when I read this. Also, big fucking loser-faced dweeb. Guys suck so hard sometimes. Can’t let the woman have the glory, like that would be just the end of the world. Fuck ‘im.

Didn’t Ethan Hawke cheat on Uma? And wasn’t it a public humiliation? Well he sure showed her how to have the last word, huh? Bitch-assed little boy.

God forbid he doesn’t get his ego or his dick stroked every 5 minutes. He’s pretentious and completely self-absorbed.

IMO they only got married because the power of the story behind Gattaca… I had figured Uma would have gone more for Jude Law otherwise.

Once a cheating dog always one. I wouldn’t be hiring a nanny any time soon if I was his new wife.

Ethan and Uma were so miserable together. Back then she told the Oprah she had a rough period during the divorce period and that she blames herself for their break up, because if she had paid more attention to her husband than to her career, she would still be married now. I remember that she said “We were having a difficult time… Our marriage failed. I should take full responsibility for the failure of my own marriage.” So… I thought…Why everybody blame Ethan? He made a mistake, of course, but it’s easy enough to say guilt…guilt…guilt. But it isn’t easy to keep unhappy marriage for long time. Besides all of us know that Tarantino hang over Uma all the time. So… Ethan is a moving father. Ethan, Maya and Levon are always happy when they are together. And Clementine is so cute. She look like Ethan, I guess. She frowns like her daddy. I love Ethan. To me he is very beautiful. I hope that Clementine grows such intelligent and beautiful like him. I don’t like so much Ryan, but I’m glad to see Ethan happy again. Is he? We never know…
