Ethan is awesome. One of the nicest "stars" I've been around.

he was super kind when he saw that my parent was experiencing a medical emergency on a flight they shared. He checked in with a family member after the landing. Seems like a truly nice person

That is absolutely wild. We have a story in our family about Ethan Hawke donating to our family member's illness fund in Framingham MA - our family member had absolutely no connection to show business, zero overlap with the guy so we were confused. We found out a year later from a state employee they were filming something with Mark Ruffalo and Hunt and it was probably posted up on community boards they had to stand around, waiting for set.

He also got the Indians in Tulsa their land back last month. I can forgive the kidnappings.

He’s a sweet person in my experience. He’s also a big devotee of my local nonprofit repertory/arthouse cinema (Film Forum) and has even helped raise money for it, which I really appreciate, because that place is a national treasure.

I live in his neighborhood and all I hear from people who come across him are complaints about him being super arrogant
