“And they're like, 'Just so you know, when I'm casting a movie with some producers, they hand me a sheet with the amount of collective followers I have to get of the cast that I cast so if you delete your Instagram, and I lose those followers, understand that these are the kinds of people I need to cast around you.’”.
Reflecting on her experience in Hollywood thus far, Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, said she didn’t think being a “nepo baby” has benefited her career or stopped casting teams from being brutally honest.
“The line between actor and celebrity has gotten extremely blurry,” Hawke told Josh Horowitz on Thursday’s episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
Hawke went on to explain that writers, directors, and producers are now taking social media presence into account during the casting process because they want to take advantage of their platforms, financially and otherwise.
