Inevitably, there are huge pressures to overcome when you're married to a celebrity of great status like Uma Thurman. However, it was ultimately too much for Ethan Hawke to handle.
Ethan has complained he didn't enjoy being married to the lovely - not to mention beautiful - Uma because she was too famous.
The "Training Day" actor - who split from the "Kill Bill" actress in 2004 after he was caught having an affair with Canadian model Jen Perzow - claims being in a relationship with the attractive Hollywood star was hard work.
He told Parade magazine, "To be married to another famous person was a huge pressure - one I didn't enjoy. And it had nothing to do with her."
Despite a messy divorce, which was finalized in 2005, Ethan refuses to utter a bad word against the mother of his children, eight-year-old Maya and Levon, four.
He added, "She's my children's mother. You have to keep that in mind above anything else."
The 36-year-old also confessed that fatherhood has been his most challenging role.
He said, "It's the only role that if I fail, I will consider my life a failure."
Earlier this year, Uma revealed that she was still in love with her ex-husband.
The actress said, "I don't think love ends actually. I wish it did, but I don't think it really does."
