On Monday (February 13), the Moon Knight actor swooned over Rihanna's Super Bowl performance and looked back on a hilarious moment with his son on Instagram.
Hawke, 52, shared throwback photos of him and his son Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, 21, sitting courtside at a 2015 NBA game. The series of photos begin with Levon sitting in between the "Desperado" singer, 34, and Hawke. In the next snap, Hawke is sitting next to Rihanna, with his then-teenage son now on the end. Levon appears to be embarrassed as he puts his palm on his forehead. The carousel ends with an image of Rihanna and the actor still talking as Levon looks on.
