The actor’s daughter Maya Hawke clarified that for her, “it’s family pride.”
“I’ve been caught by the paparazzi openly flirting with Rihanna,” Ethan Hawke said.
“Trying to,” Maya corrected.

“Trying to flirt,” Ethan accepted.
“So that’s been to the family shame, so you’re really touching a nerve.”
“No, it’s family pride,” Maya said.
“But the internet doesn’t have a lot of nuances.
My dad has been a massive teacher for me, and we want to work together.
We like being with each other.”
Maya immediately responded that her dad would choose Rihanna, though the actor himself said “both.”
“I havebeento a Lady Gaga concert and I haven’t been to a RiRi concert…
I took you to Lady Gaga,” he said to Maya.
“Yeah, you did,” she responded.
After a long pause, she corrected herself.
“No you didn’t!”
“It was some very good fathering.
Well, we gotta go see Rihanna next.”
