Maya Hawke claimed that the size of actors’ social media is a major factor in the casting decisions of some producers and whether a film can be taken.
During a recent performance on the podcast “Happy Sad Confused”, the 26-year-old actress, who is the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, remembered that her parents “worked hard” to protect her privacy when she grew up when she grew up .
However, she believes that actors are expected to share more of their personal lives in the age of social media and that their number of followers is becoming increasingly important for their career.
“I think the boundary between actor and celebrity has become extremely blurry,” said the star “Stranger Things”. “And I think a celebrity in some respects is someone where his personality is the draw. And what I always wanted to be was an actor where the work is what the draw is, not the personality. But the industry continues to change and you have to Change and understand that all these things are blurred. “

Hawke explained that some producers insisted that the combined Instagram -follower counting the cast must meet a certain quota for a project to continue.
“I don’t care about Instagram. Instagram is crazy. Right, well, but you know, if you talk about so many followers, you can get the film financed,” the actress said. “It’s a really confusing line to walk.”
