Ethan Hawke, the 55-year-old Hollywood actor best known for Dead Poets Society and the Before trilogy, left fellow showbiz veteran Drew Barrymore blushing with a romantic admission during an October 16 appearance on her eponymous talk show.
“I don’t think I remember a time in my life when I was not aware of you. What I can’t believe is that we never dated,” he said.
As the clip went viral in the following days, though, netizens reacted very differently from the host to Hawke’s words, with several using the opportunity to revisit an old controversy surrounding his first marriage.
