Ethan Hawke just revealed that he used to hope he'd end up dating Drew Barrymore back in the '90s, and while their conversation was pretty lighthearted, not everyone is quite as charmed by his confession...especially given his messy history with Uma Thurman.

In case you need a refresher, Ethan and Uma were one of Hollywood's most iconic couples in the late '90s and early 2000s. They met while filming Gattaca in 1996, married in 1998, and had two children together before separating in 2003 amid widespread allegations that Ethan had been unfaithful.

Ethan denied that cheating caused their split, telling ABC News in 2004, "Uma and I did not split up over anybody's infidelity."
