Ethan Hawke stated that his marriage to Uma Thurman three years ago failed because one of them is jealous on the other's thriving career.
Ethan Hawke's marriage to
Uma Thurman failed because they were jealous of each other. The 'Training Day' actor, who married Uma in 1998 before she filed for divorce in 2004, has revealed his ego "suffered" throughout their relationship.
Ethan told US TV show 'Sunday Morning Shootout': "It's unfair when one person's career is taking off and the other is really suffering. What happens is that the person you share your life with isn't in the mood to. You want to have a pity party for yourself, but they're off to the Golden Globes and you don't want to go because everyone is going to think you are jealous."
Ethan, who has two children with Uma, admits their marriage fell apart when neither party was willing to sacrifice their career for their family. The 36-year-old star explained: "There's a certain geometry to life - that life has a certain math equation to it and if you're never together, you can't build a home. Joanne Woodward put her career on the back burner for her marriage to
Paul Newman to last. Something's got to give."
Uma, 37, was nominated for an Oscar for 'Pulp Fiction', while Ethan received an Academy Award nomination for his role in 'Training Day'.
