In an interview with Elle magazine Ethan Hawke spoke about his marriage to Uma Thurman and said that it was a mistake to get married before reaching 30s. The actor insists that he was too young for marriage at 27.

He said: “Success when you’re young is really overwhelming. The world felt out of control. And I wanted to stop it from spinning so fast. I thought marriage would decrease my variables or something. I was absolutely wrong. There was this discovery that the male brain isn’t done until 28. I definitely think my frontal lobe was not finished. I had no business taking vows that would last more than two weeks.”

Hawke also said that it would have been much smarter if he just enjoyed single life like baseball star Derek Jeter who dated several Hollywood beauties. “My personal opinion? The guy who’s got it right is Derek Jeter. He lives his life like, ‘Hey man, I play shortstop for the New York Yankees. And I’m not going to get married until I’m no longer a shortstop for the New York Yankees.’ Which is incredibly smart,” the actor said.

Ethan has four children – a daughter and a son with Uma and two daughters with his second wife Ryan.
