Ethan Hawke was training for Maya Hawke’s big day his whole life.
And despite being prepared for it, the Oscar nominee admitted that watching his and ex-wife Uma Thurman’s 28-year-old daughter marry Christian Lee Hutson in February was an emotionally difficult experience.
“I don’t know if you feel this way, but some of the most profound moments of your life are the most common,” Ethan explained to hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones on Today Sept. 16. “It’s really simple. Your oldest daughter is getting married, so you’re in a situation that humanity has been doing forever, and yet your heart is ripping open.”
“The really mysterious part about it is I thought that it would be moving because it would be this great bonding moment between the two of us,” he continued. “But the truth is, she’s just thinking about the groom.”
And reflecting on Maya’s wedding also made the 55-year-old think about the passage of time, especially how “all these pivotal moments, these rites of passage in our life, they tear us up.”
