Apparently Ehtan had some Hawke eyes for the help

Even before he wrote and starred in painfully sappy films like Before Sunrise and its even more unfortunate sequel, Before Sunset, we had suspected that Ethan Hawke is a sensitive soul.

So it didn’t surprise us too much to hear that he’s been having a clandestine affair with the former help.

Apparently Ethan and his ex-wife Uma Thurman’s son, 5-year old Levon, wasn’t the only male in the family who was charmed by the former nanny - only known as Ryan - while she looked after him and his sister Maya (9).

It has come to light that Ethan has been secretly dating Ryan (and no, apparently it IS a she nanny, and not a he manny). However, the actor’s rep was quick to say that Ethan only began to see her after she was no longer his employee and a whole year after his marriage to Uma dissolved. Well, we can tell them now that that isn’t proof that Ethan didn’t secretly perv over her during all that time. If anyone had ever seen those two aforementioned movies, or read his book Ash Wednesday? They would have realised that it takes Ethan rather long to get to the point…
