People Are Stunned After Maya Hawke Revealed Uma Thurman's "Advice" About Working With Tarantino

"If you're out of the loop, people have long speculated that Quentin has a thing for feet given how much airtime they get in his movies. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood featured shots of Margot Robbie, Margaret Qualley, and Dakota Fanning's bare feet, Uma Thurman went barefoot in that iconic Pulp Fiction dance scene, and Quentin famously cast himself as the person who slurped tequila from Salma Hayek's toes in From Dusk Till Dawn."

"In 2020, Brad Pitt poked fun at the apparent obsession during an acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where he quipped that Quentin "has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA." The following year, Quentin addressed the "foot fetish" rumors in an interview with GQ. He said, "I don't take it seriously. There's a lot of feet in a lot of good directors' movies. That's just good direction.""

"Appearing on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast this week, Maya was asked if her mom had "any advice about working with Quentin." She hastily replied, "Keep your shoes on," before laughing. Reacting to Maya's comment, several internet users absolutely lost it. "The speed at which she answered 😭" read one comment with over 18,000 likes, while another person echoed, "SO QUICK TO ANSWER 😂😂😂""

Tarantino told GQ he doesn't take the rumors seriously, arguing many directors include feet and citing Buñuel, Hitchcock, and Sofia Coppola. Uma Thurman advised her daughter Maya to "keep your shoes on" when working with Tarantino. Maya answered quickly on a podcast, and online reactions ranged from amusement to discomfort.
