Maya Hawke<\/a> has shared the joking advice her mother Uma Thurman gave her for working with director Quentin Tarantino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Stranger Things<\/a> star played a member of the Manson Family in Tarantino\u2019s 2019 Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/a>, continuing a family tradition after Thurman worked with the filmmaker on 1994\u2019s Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill films.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the Good Hang podcast with Amy Poehler,<\/a> Hawke was asked if she was given any advice by her mum for working with him. \u201c\u2019Keep your shoes on,\u2019\u201d Hawke jokingly replied, prompting laughter from both stars and the verdict \u201cperfect advice\u201d from Poehler. Watch the clip below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The joke is a reference to Tarantino\u2019s focus on female feet in several of his movies, such as the \u201cwiggle your big toe\u201d sequence in Kill Bill Volume One, or in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood where Margot Robbie<\/a> and others had significant scenes where they were bare foot.<\/p>\n

Branded a \u201cfoot fetish\u201d by onlookers, Robbie\u2019s co-star even joked about it while accepting a Screen Actor\u2019s Guild award for his role in the movie in 2020. \u201cQuentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA,\u201d he quipped in his speech.<\/p>\n

In an interview with GQ<\/a> in 2021, Tarantino himself brushed off the reputation. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors\u2019 movies\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s just good direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maya Hawke will next be seen in Stranger Things 5, with the final season released in three parts on Netflix. The first chapter will arrive on November 27 at 1am GMT, while the second part will drop at 1am on December 26. Its finale will then air at 1am on New Year\u2019s Day in the UK.<\/p>\n

Recently, fans of the show expressed concern for the character of Steve after very little of him was shown in the trailers.<\/a><\/p>\n
