‘Stranger Things’ star Maya Hawke claims some producers cast actors based on their numbers of Instagram followers
Maya Hawke claimed that the size of actors’ social media following is becoming a big factor in some producers’ casting decisions and whether a movie is able to be made.During a recent appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast,” the 26-year-old actress, who is the daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, recalled that her parents “worked hard” to protect her privacy when she was growing up. However, she believes that actors are expected to share more of their personal lives in the age of social media and their follower count is becoming increasingly important to their careers.“I think that the line between actor and celebrity has gotten extremely blurry,” the “Stranger Things” star said.
