Ethan Hawke Calls Out Tarantino for Being a Jerk to Paul Dano

Ethan Hawke has joined the growing list of filmmakers defending Paul Dano, but The Lowdown star took things a step further by delving into why Quentin Tarantino would make such a targeted attack. “Whenever anybody says something hateful, they’re talking about themselves.” According to Hawke, Tarantino’s real issue is jealousy over the fact that he didn’t direct There Will Be Blood, and Hawke would know.
