Early life
Hawke was born in 2002, the younger of two children born to actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. He was reportedly named after Levon Helm from the rock group The Band, a musical hero of his father. His parents met on the set of Gattaca (1997), married in May 1998, and divorced in 2005. Hawke has an older sister, Maya. He also has three half-sisters: two from his father and his father's second wife, Ryan Shawhughes, and one from his mother and her ex-fiancé, financier Arpad Busson.
