Ethan Hawke Finds a ‘Great Lesson’ in Quentin Tarantino’s Paul Dano Negativity

It’s awful when someone you admire publicly says something unkind about you, especially if it seems unprovoked. That’s what’s happening to Paul Dano right now, but many prominent figures are rushing to his defense. Ethan Hawke recently discussed the situation on the Joe Rogan podcast, calling it a valuable lesson in handling negativity. Hawke believes Dano might be surprised by the widespread support he has, noting that while Quentin Tarantino is known for speaking his mind, everyone who knows Dano recognizes him as a genuinely good person.

Earlier this month, Quentin Tarantino criticized Paul Dano’s performance in There Will Be Blood on a podcast, calling him a “weak sauce” actor and even labeling him the “worst” in the Screen Actors Guild. Since then, several prominent figures in Hollywood, including Daniel Day-Lewis and Ben Stiller, have voiced their support for Dano. Ethan Hawke notes that this outpouring of support is a valuable lesson: you shouldn’t let negative comments bother you.
