Life After Uma

By Rebecca Winters

Ever wonder what losing a woman like Uma Thurman does to a guy? The March issue of Details holds some answers: the heart gets wrenched, and the abs get ripped. "It's been the saddest, most agonizing period of my life," says ETHAN HAWKE, in an interview about his recent separation from the willowy Kill Bill star and mother of his two children. Hawke, who says he has lost 15 lbs. because of anxiety since the split, admits that he and Thurman will probably divorce. Press reports that Hawke's infidelity caused the rift have been "annoying," the Training Day star says. "If our problems were that simple, we'd still be together. I have this burning desire to walk up to everybody on the street and say, 'Hey, by the way, that's not true.' But I've been feeling like Hester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter."
