Before Sunset actor pointed out, “To watch Taylor empower herself to direct these music videos and take it all on the chin and be willing to stand out front, it’s not easy.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ethan was asked how he got the chance to play a cameo in Cruel Summer singer’s video.

Training Day actor replied, “My daughter Maya Hawke is creating opportunities in my life. I get a text from my daughter, saying, ‘Hey Dad, Taylor wants your number.’” And then, they both met.

Elaborating on why the songstress wanted to cast Ethan in her music video, the actor added, “Taylor is a Dead Poets Society fan and I will take what I can get.”
