Hawke joined the huge online debate that started after Tarantino shared his favorite movies from the 2000s and suddenly attacked Dano’s acting without warning. Hawke knows Tarantino well and used this moment to explain how directors think and how actors should deal with negative comments.
According to Daily Dot, Hawke talked about it on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. He said Dano probably woke up one day to find a famous director saying mean things about him.
