A New Star Rises: Levon Hawke Takes Center Stage

The cinematic legacy of Hollywood powerhouses Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke continues to expand, but this time, the spotlight is firmly on their son. At 24 years old, Levon Hawke is set to make his debut as a lead actor in the upcoming feature film “Twenty-seven”.

This isn’t just any debut; Levon will be sharing the screen with the legendary Anthony Hopkins, creating a generational bridge of acting talent that has already piqued the interest of cinephiles worldwide.

Inside ‘Twenty-seven’: A Story of Growth and Struggle

Directed and written by Gregory Caruso, “Twenty-seven” is described as a poignant drama that delves deep into the complexities of early adulthood. The plot follows a 27-year-old aspiring screenwriter, played by Levon Hawke, who navigates the challenges of living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Adding weight to the narrative, Anthony Hopkins, 88, portrays the protagonist’s mentor—a former television actor turned theatre professor who is currently battling Parkinson’s disease. According to reports from Variety, the film explores themes of stagnation, the uncertainty of maturing, and the pivotal people who guide us toward our true path.

Levon Hawke’s Rapid Ascent in Hollywood

While “Twenty-seven” marks his first leading role in a feature film, Levon has been quietly building a versatile portfolio. His journey includes:

• Television Debut: He first appeared in the Apple TV+ series “The Crowded Room” (2023).
• Film Appearances: He featured in Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut “Blink Twice” (2024) and the western “The Thicket”.
• High-Profile Collaborations: He starred alongside Timothée Chalamet in “Marty Supreme” (2025).

Beyond acting, Levon is also exploring his creative voice behind the camera. In 2024, he wrote and directed “Picture Day”, a play-based project focusing on identity, friendship, and the intricacies of modern relationships among roommates.

A Family Rooted in Art

The support for Levon’s career is palpable within his family. Ethan Hawke has been a vocal admirer of his son’s talent, previously praising his work in “Wildcat”—a film directed by Ethan himself and featuring Levon’s sister, Maya Hawke. Ethan has even gone as far as suggesting that Levon would be the perfect choice to play him in a future biopic.

Levon is part of a talented brood; along with Maya (daughter of Uma Thurman), Ethan also has two daughters, Clementine and Indiana, with his current wife, Ryan Shawhughes.

Currently filming in Los Angeles, “Twenty-seven” promises to be a defining moment for Levon Hawke, proving that he is more than just the son of two icons—he is a formidable talent in his own right.
