Ethan Hawke has people talking after a cheeky comment during a recent interview took an unexpectedly risqué turn.
The Training Day actor raised eyebrows in a February 23 interview with British Vogue when he was asked a seemingly harmless question: Is it bad to eat in bed? Instead of offering a simple yes or no, Hawke, 55, delivered a response that caught readers off guard. “Incredibly vulgar things are going through my brain right now,” he admitted before adding, “I like to eat in bed, but I don’t eat food.”
The cryptic remark quickly sparked buzz online, with fans debating exactly what the Oscar-nominated actor meant. While Hawke didn’t elaborate further, the playful tone of his answer was enough to fuel speculation about his sense of humor—and his intimate life.
Hawke has been married to producer Ryan Shawhughes since 2008, and the couple shares two daughters, Clementine Jean and Indiana. Before that, he was married to actress Uma Thurman from 1998 to 2005. The former couple shares two children, Maya Hawke and Levon Roan. Their split was highly publicized at the time, with rumors swirling that Hawke had an affair with Shawhughes—claims he has denied.
In a previous interview with The New York Times, Hawke reflected on the emotional toll of divorce and life in the public eye. “The public eye is like gasoline,” he said, noting that the real difficulty of divorce lies in helping children navigate the transition. He also admitted that after his first marriage ended, he believed he would stay single for good—until he fell for Shawhughes. “Then I made a best friend and I liked kissing her,” he said.
Now, it’s his latest off-the-cuff confession that has fans buzzing.
