Hawke clarified those statements during a new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/maya-hawke-uma-thurman-ethan-hawke-nepo-baby-2qqk5hmm9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  with The Times of London.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019ve been wildly made fun of for this clip when I said, on the red carpet, that I auditioned,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI never meant to imply that I didn\u2019t get the part for nepotistic reasons \u2014 I think I totally did.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She said filmmaker Tarantino was trying to \u201ccast a lot of young Hollywood,\u201d which in this case included Margaret Qualley (Andie MacDowell\u2019s daughter) and Rumer Willis (Demi Moore and Bruce Willis\u2019 daughter). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked if she believed she \u201cdeserved\u201d the part, Hawke replied,\u201c\u2018Deserves\u2019 is a complicated word. There are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don\u2019t, but I think I\u2019m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway. And I know that my not doing it wouldn\u2019t help anyone. I saw two paths when I was first starting, and one of them was: change your name, get a nose job, and go to open casting roles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The actress added, \u201cIt\u2019s OK to be made fun of when you\u2019re in rarefied air. It\u2019s a lucky place to be. My relationships with my parents are really honest and positive, and that supersedes anything anyone can say about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hawke became a household name while playing Robin Buckley in the popular Netflix series \u201cStranger Things.\u201d She also had roles in \u201cDo Revenge,\u201d \u201cAsteroid City,\u201d and \u201cMaestro.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The actress also spoke on the topic while promoting \u201cWildcat,\u201d the Flannery O\u2019Connor biopic her father directed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI had moments of insecurity about it while we were shooting the movie,\u201d she told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/features\/ethan-maya-hawke-wild-cat-interview-nepo-babies-toronto-1235710651\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Variety<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  in September. \u201dBut the internet doesn\u2019t have a lot of nuances.
