Did I do it for my teenage daughters? No. I took them to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/taylor-swift\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,taylor-swift\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taylor Swift<\/a> concert for them. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I did it because Taylor asked and I was flattered that she knew what Dead Poets Society is. But strangely, it\u2019s the one thing that I think my kids wish I hadn\u2019t done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if it was because their friends would see the video, he replied: \u201cNo, because I took Taylor away from them! They had their own relationship with Taylor\u2019s music and now Dad got a Christmas card from her, or whatever. It was, like, \u2018Tchuh! What\u2019s Dua Lipa doing now?\u2019 You know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nEthan candidly admitted that, after he and Uma divorced in 2005, he had vowed not to get involved in another relationship or have more children but he married Ryan &#8211; who had previously been a babysitter for his older kids &#8211; in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;When I split up I was hellbent on not having any more kids and I wanted to be single for the rest of my life. But then I made a best friend and I liked kissing her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 55-year-old actor believes making a marriage last is &#8220;tremendously&#8221; difficult and while going through a divorce in the public eye was tough, he insisted the things that made it &#8220;hard&#8221; were the same as for other ex-couples.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cThe public eye is like gasoline, but what makes divorce hard is the stuff that makes it hard for everyone \u2014 the family elements, how to help the kids through it. I\u2019m so envious of people who have amicable splits.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I can\u2019t really talk about this because I vowed to my kids so many times not to talk about the divorce in public. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But one thing I will say is if you get the privilege of travelling the world, you realise that everywhere men and women have a tremendous amount of difficulty staying married.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ethan-hawkes-kids-impressed-taylor-swift-video-1433456.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 November 2025 Ethan Hawke&#8216;s daughters wish he hadn&#8217;t appeared in a Taylor Swift music video.
