Ethan Hawke called his very public divorce from actor Uma Thurman a deadly experience.

“It’s humiliating. It’s almost humiliating even when they say positive things,” he told GQ Hype in an interview published Monday.

The couple married in 1998 after gathering on the set of the dystopic thriller “Gattaca”, which came out in 1997.

They separated in 2003, and Thurman requested divorce a year later. The division was ended in 2005.

Speaking about his relationship, Hawke said there was a special type of enchantment that arises from a romance on the set.

When comparing it with a game of turning the bottle, he said: “There is a certain intimacy in the work we do. Imaginative intimacy. It is so high. It feels dangerous and exciting.”

However, those feelings were not built to last a long time in the real world, according to Hawke.

“Increase the temperature in your life. It can be like falling in love in the summer camp,” he said. “It has no connection with the delation of real life. That is the danger of that.”

The actor “before dawn” had previously spoken about the factorization of fame in his divorce.

“To be honest, it was undue pressure on my marriage,” he told Parade magazine in 2006. “I didn’t like being famous when I was single, and what made my celebrity status be married to another famous person was a great pressure, one who did not enjoy. And it had nothing to do with her. Nothing to do with her.”

In a separate interview with Parade earlier that year, Thurman was careful not to speak badly of his ex.

“I can’t participate in anything critical about my children’s father,” said the star of “Kill Bill” about Hawke, with whom he shares his daughter Maya Hawke, 27, and his son Levon Hawke, 23.

“I just need to keep peace,” Thurman continued. “I think it is fair to say that I have not said something bad, and I will not start now. It’s terrible for my family.”
