They say that a talented person shows his extraordinary abilities in different areas. As confirmation of this statement - the career of Ethan Hawke, who realized himself as a great actor, writer, screenwriter and director. And who knows what he'll come up with tomorrow to add to his list of talents?
Ethan Green Hawk was born in Texas in 1970, in the town of Austin. He was born when his parents were just married, and his mother was barely eighteen years old. The marriage broke up very quickly. Nine years later, Ethan had a stepfather, and they moved to Princeton, where the future artist spent his childhood.
At school, Ethan began literary experiments: he wrote short stories and dreamed of becoming a famous writer. Once he got to a rehearsal of a theater group, and the dream of writing simply vanished - he "fell ill" with the theater.
At school he played in productions, at the age of fourteen he got on the shooting of the documentary "Explorers". This prompted him to decide on his future profession: he finally decided to become an actor.
He trained in theater, graduated from acting courses and Carnegie Mellone University.
Film career
Ethan's first appearance on the screen was triumphant - he was lucky to star in the film "Dead Poets Society". Starring Robin Williams, this iconic film made all the young actors who played their roles famous. Thus began Hawke's biography in the film industry.
He gained fame from audiences and recognition from producers, which led to a role in the film "White Fang" (1991). Hawke played the courageous and fearless Jack Conroy, who, despite the severity of the trials in Alaska, did not lose his humanity and kindness. After this role, Ethan played many more similar roles and risked getting stuck in one role.
To prevent this from happening, Hawke agreed to roles in comedies, dramas, and historical films. And unexpectedly for himself, he became very popular in romantic films and melodramas. This greatly increased the number of his fans, although there were already quite a few of them.
In 2001, a significant event happened: the film "Training Day" was nominated for an Oscar, and one of the nominations was the role of Hawke. Probably, after that one could get sick with star fever, but the actor decided that he needed to go even further - to directing.
And here success awaited him: his painting "Chelsea Walls" was shown in Cannes. And for the script for the film "Before Sunset" Hawke received an Oscar.
But that's not all: Ethan decided to make a film out of his novel, and he succeeded - the movie "The Hottest State" was released, the script of which the actor also wrote himself. That is, he began to realize himself as a writer, and continued this experience, writing the novel "Ash Wednesday".
Hawke's other rather successful experience was the 2014 film Boyhood.
In recent years, viewers can see the actor mainly in action films, horror films and thrillers, but who knows what else this talented actor will come up with and bring to life?
Personal life
Ethan Hawke's first wife is actress Uma Thurman, who requires no introduction. The actors got married in 1998 when they were both at their peak. Perhaps this was the reason for the divorce, although they had two children.
Ethan married a second time to his children's former nanny, Ryan Shohughes. The couple had girls Indiana and Clementine.
Ethan is not seen on social networks, so only official information can be found about his life.
