Veteran actor and filmmaker Ethan Hawke is shocked that up-and-coming stars are allegedly landing big movie roles solely based on their social media presence.
Maya, who is the daughter of Ethan and Uma Thurman, claimed that actors are expected to share more of their personal lives in the age of social media and their follower count is becoming increasingly important to their careers.
