“It’s almost humiliating, even when they’re saying positive things,” the ‘Boyhood’ actor said.

Moreover, Hawke also shared his thoughts on co-stars falling in love on set, like them, saying, “There’s a certain intimacy to the work that we do; imaginative intimacy. It’s such a high. It feels dangerous and thrilling.”
