When the pandemic first hit the U.S., its effects were seen all over the country. While speaking with Nylon via FaceTime, Maya Hawke stated the impact that COVID-19 had on her life. “I feel like the last three years of my life have been a dream, and I’m just a kid again with my family,” she said. The star added that pre-pandemic, she’d moved out of her family’s home and was pursuing her endeavors (specifically filming for the fourth season of “Stranger Things”). Then one day during shoots, the cast was brought together and told that production would be paused. The actors were then sent home to quarantine. “I’m in mourning for my life,” Hawke exclaimed, relaying a quote from Chekhov. “That’s a joke. I’m fine. I’m very fortunate. But totally depressed and confused.”
Instead of returning to her apartment in downtown Manhattan, the actor went to upstate New York to alternate between staying with her mother, Uma Thurman, and her father, Ethan Hawke. During the interview, Thurman even appeared in the background as Hawke told her she was in the middle of an interview. Additionally, during Hawke’s stay with her mom, Thurman gave her daughter’s hair a DIY snip which the “Pulp Fiction” star also shared on Instagram. “Home hair cuts bring us back home,” she wrote, “we are all finding ourselves again.” In the image, Thurman is shown with a pair of scissors carefully evening out her daughter’s new ‘do.
