Maya Hawke Debuts Dark Hair at Broadway Premiere
Actress Maya Hawke showcased a striking change in appearance, revealing her newly darkened hair at the Broadway opening of “John Proctor is the Villain.” The event, held at the Booth Theatre in Midtown Manhattan on Monday, drew notable figures from the entertainment industry.
Family Resemblance and Career Path
The 26-year-old Hawke, daughter of actress Uma Thurman and actor Ethan Hawke, bears a noticeable similarity to her mother, particularly in their high forehead and distinct bone structure. While sharing these features with the Oscar-nominated Thurman, Hawke is reportedly a few inches shorter.
The likeness becomes even more pronounced when Hawke offers a broad smile, mirroring Thurman’s own radiant grin. Thurman celebrated her 55th birthday this month.
Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, who starred together in “Gattaca,” welcomed Maya and her younger brother Levon during their five-year marriage. The marriage concluded in 2005 amidst speculation regarding Ethan Hawke’s personal life.
Navigating Nepotism and Expectations
Addressing the advantages associated with her family name, Hawke acknowledged the concept of “nepo baby” in a candid conversation on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast on February 13th. “There are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway,” the SAG Award nominee stated. She further added, “And I know that my not doing it wouldn’t help anyone.”

Hawke elaborated on her early career considerations, stating, “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. It’s okay to be made fun of when you’re in rarefied air.”
She emphasized the positive nature of her familial relationships, saying, “It’s a lucky place to be. My relationships with my parents are really honest and positive, and that supersedes anything anyone can say about it.”
Relationship and Upcoming Projects
Hawke was accompanied at the theater event by Christian Lee Hutson, her boyfriend and musical collaborator since 2022. Hutson, a musician and producer, sported a double-denim ensemble for the evening.
The 34-year-old Hutson, whom Hawke affectionately described as a “poet musical genius,” produced her third studio album, “Chaos Angel.”
Prior to her relationship with Hutson, Hawke was romantically linked to singer Spencer Barnett and actor Tom Sturridge.
Eurydice and Stranger Things
Looking ahead, Hawke is set to star in the titular role of “Eurydice,” an off-Broadway production by the Signature Theatre Company. Les Waters will direct this adaptation of Sarah Ruhl’s play, scheduled to run from May 13th to June 22nd at the Signature Theatre in Manhattan.
Musically, Maya Hawke, who boasts a substantial Spotify following, is preparing to embark on the European leg of her “Chaos Angel World Tour.” The 20-date tour is slated to commence on June 21st in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In the realm of screen acting, Hawke recently concluded filming her role as Robin Buckley in the final season of the Netflix series “Stranger Things.” The highly anticipated fifth season is expected to premiere later this year.
Furthermore, Hawke is also slated to portray Calista, a young musician, in Stephen Frears’ forthcoming dramedy “Wilder & Me,” set in 1977. She will appear alongside actors Christoph Waltz, Jon Hamm, and John Turturro in the film.
