Hawke 'becoming harder to date'

Hollywood star Ethan Hawke, apparently still reeling from his split with wife Uma Thurman last year, says he is "becoming harder and harder to date".

The Gattaca star, 33, concedes it will take a strong woman to capture his heart. Handsome Hawke says: "I've got a lot of baggage now. I'm a famous actor, I've got two kids, and I'm becoming harder and harder to date."

The actor was stunned by the media interest in the reasons for Hawke and Thurman’s break-up, reportedly because he cheated on her with a 22-year-old Canadian model.

"Hopefully, all this stuff I've been going through personally will translate into making me a better man. That's all you can hope to get from any kind of suffering," he added.
