Ethan Hawke (Getty Images) Los Angeles - Ethan Hawke admits he sometimes ends up in a "pile of dog shit" when he "follows his nose". The Boyhood star has always lived his life and made decisions in his acting career based on his gut instinct but he'd be the first person to admit it hasn't always worked out for him both professionally or personally. In an interview with the new issue of DuJour magazine, Ethan - who was previously married to actress Uma Thurman - said: "I've always given myself permission to do that cliché and follow my nose. In general, when you are doing what you love, things go well."
