In an interview with The Observer Ethan Hawke has revealed that sometimes he battles with fame. The 42-year-old star said that there are times when he feels guilty for thinking that all the attention he gets is actually deserved.
”You know in your heart of hearts that you’re special only like every human being is special, so you don’t know why you’re getting all this attention and you feel guilty about it. What you feel guilty about is the feeling that some part of you thinks you deserve it ‘cos it feels good. And it’s a weird snake that’s eating its own tail,” the actor explained, adding: ”You covet the fame, you hate the fame, you covet the fame.”
Ethan is known for not endorsing commercial products and is very proud of that. He said: ”I think, ‘Wow, I take such pride in not doing that’, and it doesn’t mean anything to anyone but me.”
