Maya Hawke said that she lied to her father Ethan Hawke as a teenager, telling him that she was going to therapy when in reality she was on a mission to lose her virginity.

Maya appeared on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" alongside Bryan Cranston, playing a game called "High School Me!" in which the pair answered questions about their adolescent lives. When Cohen asked what the worst trouble the actors got in as teens was, she had a ready answer.

"Oh. I lied about where... I said I was going to therapy, and I really went to lose my virginity," Maya said.

"My father was very, very upset," she continued.

Maya, who recently starred in the Netflix film "Do Revenge" and sci-fi series "Stranger Things," is the daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. She's spoken frequently about her celebrity parentage and the benefits that came with it. In September 2022, she told Rolling Stone that she while she has a leg up in the industry, she tries to "keep working and do a good job" to not squander the chances that she's been given.

Maya said that her father only knew that she hadn't gone to therapy, not what she had actually been up to.

"He gave me a really hard time. He went, 'Where were you? Where did you go?'" Hawke said, imitating an angry version of her father.

"And I said, 'How am I supposed to have secrets if I'm not allowed to tell lies?'" she continued, tearily delivering the line.

Apparently, that worked: Maya said that her father begrudgingly respected the ploy.

"He was like 'Fuck this kid,'" she said.
