After being asked about her return to action films after more than two decades, the Kill Bill alum discussed her daughter Maya Hawke, 26, and son Levon Hawke, 23, following in her footsteps.
'I choked on it a little bit at first, with the first one being so young, but I think they're amazing,' Thurman said.
'I mean, with talent like that, you can't put it in a box. So I admire them, and I think that they're just superior artists,' Thurman continued. 'All I can do is stand back in awe.'
Thurman shares Maya and Levon with her ex-husband Ethan Hawke, whom she was married to from 1998 to 2005.

On Monday, June 23, Thurman appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she also spoke about her children when they were mentioned by the show host, 51.
'I was telling you backstage, I had a nice thing happen walking down the streets of New York. I ran into your daughter Maya in the street," Meyers told his guest. "And you have two children now who are just incredibly accomplished performers.'
'Well, I have three who are very accomplished,' she replied. 'Two who work for it.'
'I very much apologize to the one who's not putting the work in,' Meyers joked of Thurman's 12-year-old. 'She'll get there.'
