Ethan Hawke: Brooklyn is what Manhattan used to be

Longtime Manhattan resident Ethan Hawke joined the flood of stars relocating to Brooklyn, and says it’s because the borough’s like Manhattan used to be.

“The whole city’s changing, while Brooklyn feels to me the way New York was a while ago,” he told Manhattan magazine.

“Brooklyn is about the barometric pressure of New York turned down about 20 points.”

The “Boyhood” star moved with wife Ryan and their kids to Brooklyn Heights in 2013.

Other celebs in the neighborhood include Lena Dunham, who bought a $4.8 million pad with rocker Jack Antonoff, and Keri Russell.

Bucking the trend, Adam Driver was recently seen moving from his nearby Brooklyn Heights pad after he landed a role in the new “Star Wars” franchise.
