ET sat down with Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez while they were promoting “Getaway” in New York City. They asked some questions of Selena’s fame and how she dealt with the attention Hollywood that gave her.
Ethan on younger star’s fame
“I don’t envy it at all,”
“I doubt anybody finds that water easy to navigate, and the whole social media element of it is just an added hurdle. It’s just like one hurdle to make it harder. The days of being able to quietly have a nervous breakdown or something and really be able to pull yourself back together without anybody paying attention are over.”
Ethan on Selena being similar to him
“Selena’s similar to me in a lot of ways, which is that we’re both interested in a lot of different aspects of the performing arts, whether it’s writing or singing or acting,”
“…They want to kind of smack you around, but at the same time they’re rewarding you and it’s a very confusing moment in your life because people are telling you you’re important, and they’re talking to you about ridiculously superficial things which you know are not important.”
Selena’s on the paps
“When people are not polite, I get snappy,”
