Ethan Hawke has said his divorce from Uma Thurman was nothing to do with her.

The pair divorced after six years of marriage in 2004 and he told Parade magazine recently: “I didn’t like being famous when I was single, and what it did to my celebrity status to be married to another famous person was a huge pressure - one I didn’t enjoy.”

“[The divorce] had nothing to do with her. Nothing to do with her.”

He added that he’s glad there isn’t any bitterness between them: “She’s a great mother, and raising the kids is a priority for both of us.”

“We’re so fortunate that we have each other’s back in that way. Because I write and act in theatre, it’s a lot easier for me to stay in the city. But my ex-wife has done a phenomenal job of that as well. She plans all her movies to shoot in New York.”

“Our burden is just getting along, not hurting each other’s feelings, and letting each other grow - letting the tides take our lives away from each other and dealing with the disappointment of a dream that didn’t happen.”
