Early life

Levon was born in 2002,[2] the younger of two children born to actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.

On his father's side, Hawke is a distant cousin of the playwright Tennessee Williams.[10] On his mother's side, he is a grandson of Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman and model Nena von Schlebrügge.[11][12] Schlebrügge's mother, Birgit Holmquist, was also a model, having posed for Axel Ebbe's [sv] statue Famntaget, installed in the harbour of Smygehuk in Sweden, in 1930.[13]

Hawke is currently studying philosophy at Brown University.[14]
