The reactions were overwhelmingly positive despite the ongoing Hollywood nepo baby debate, as some believe children of celebrities only get work because of their famous parents.
While many people, such as Gwyneth Paltrow — whose mom is actress Blythe Danner — feel the term is "ugly," Stranger Things' Maya Hawke has no problem with the label.
"I’ve been wildly made fun of for this clip when I said, on the red carpet, that I auditioned [for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood]. I never meant to imply that I didn’t get the part for nepotistic reasons — I think I totally did," explained the 25-year-old daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
"‘Deserves’ is a complicated word…there are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway," she elaborated to The Times of London.
"And I know that my not doing it wouldn’t help anyone. I saw two paths when I was first starting, and one of them was: change your name, get a nose job and go to open casting roles," she recalled.
"It’s OK to be made fun of when you’re in rarefied air. It’s a lucky place to be," Maya acknowledged. "My relationships with my parents are really honest and positive, and that supersedes anything anyone can say about it."
