Is Ethan Hawke trying to stir some shizz up between Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson? Sounds it. Ethan was quoted in a recent issue of Rolling Stone about a little encounter he saw between Kris and a nameless country star (believed to be Toby) at Willie Nelson's birthday party back in 2003. The story goes that Toby told Kris not to play any "lefty" music, which made Kris ask him if he's ever worn his country's uniform. Kris then went on to answer the question for Toby and say "no" and also that Toby had no clue "what the f*ck you're talking about."
Turns out that whole story is false, at least according to Toby and Kris. Kris said that he's flattered that Ethan would tell such a generous story about him, but he didn't remember "talking so tough to anyone at Willie's birthday party." Toby was a little more pissed off, though.
Kris and I are good friends. I don't have to defend myself on this. This is 100 percent fiction. I'd bet a million dollars on a lie detector test that this didn't happen ... So whoever he's talking about that he left nameless, there was a reason he left them nameless. He [Hawke] was insinuating me, which means he left it nameless because he doesn't want to deal with that. I don't care who he is. I don't know who he is. But you don't want to be sitting in a restaurant and have somebody come up and ask you a bunch of questions, and you can always say, 'I didn't say it was you.' When I call somebody out, I say their name. So, you can talk to Kris and you can talk to Willie ... They'll all laugh and say it didn't happen. Somebody's trying to get fiction in whatever magazine to make themselves a story ... For somebody to use their star power to get in and then create some sh*t like this is just unfortunate for everybody. But, you know what? When you climb the flagpole the highest, the more people can see your butt.
Toby just opened up a verbal can of whoop ass on Ethan. SA-WEET!
