“I have lots of friends in the business who’ve been practically assaulted by the paparazzi. It’s amazing how common that is. I grew up reading things about what a jerk Sean Penn must have been for punching out a photographer. Then, you’re out at a premiere with a date and you hear the things they say to provoke you. I mean, it’s awful. You realize, ‘Oh, that’s why Sean did that. He wasn’t being a maniac.’ It’s horrifying what photographers will say to get you to look over or to get a rise out of you when you refuse to give them a picture or something.”
– Ethan Hawke in Parade Magazine, reminding us that it’s hard at the top.
Just give the rude papps the side eye, laugh and nod and agree “Yeah?.. YO Momma!” and move on..
The paparazzi must be the only people on earth who gives a rat’s ass about Ethan Hawke.
Yeah, Ethan Hawke’s upset that paps shouted mean, spirited things like “why are you fucking the nanny?” to him following his unfaithfulness and breakup with Uma Thurman, which was followed by his marriage to the (former) nanny.
LOL, right on…
He’s still a pretty cool guy. I think he and Uma were a good couple, but he’s not bad on his own. If I were his nanny, and were female, I’d have fucked him too.
