Ethan Hawke gets honest about ‘Titanic’ audition<\/p>\n

Ethan Hawke is vocal about his views on tabloid scrutiny, so when he didn’t get the Jack Dawson role in Titanic, for which he auditioned, the actor said he didn’t fret much.<\/p>\n

Sharing his reason, the star said he could not have handled the success if he had landed the role, as the movie became a cult classic and a breakout role for Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I would have handled that success as well as Leo,\u201d the 54-year-old admitted in an interview with GQ Magazine. \u201cHe was a ****** Beatle.\u201d<\/p>\n

To remain under the spotlight, particularly regarding his personal life, is something Ethan said he was not uncomfortable with.<\/p>\n

He cited the example of his relationship with his former wife, Uma Thurman, which has been under scrutiny since they began dating in 1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s humiliating. It\u2019s almost humiliating even when they\u2019re saying positive things,” he said, leading him to describe his equation with fame further. \u201cI never self-identified as a \u2018movie star\u2019.”<\/p>\n

“I was allergic to that. Having a trademark by my name and making a million dollars \u2013 that wasn\u2019t part of my dream,” he noted.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Ethan has an array of projects in which he is set to star, including The Black Phone 2 and Blue Moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will be featured on television in The Lowdown, a series loosely based on the life of activist and citizen journalist Lee Roy Chapman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ethan Hawke gets honest about ‘Titanic’ audition Ethan Hawke is vocal about his views on tabloid scrutiny, so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111886,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":["post-111885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
