The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 48, opened up about the subject while chatting exclusively with Parade amid their partnership with the Ask2BSure campaign, which aims to help parents and their kids further understand the increased risk for meningitis among teens and young adults.
When Gellar was asked if Charlotte, 15, will follow her footsteps into acting, the Cruel Intentions alum says she uses Hawke — whose parents are actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — as an example. The pair became close friends after starring in Netflix’s Do Revenge together in 2022.
She continues: “I look at Maya Hawke. [She’s] always my example. And I've actually had Maya talk to Charlotte about why it's better to go to sets, sit on sets. I let Charlotte work on sets behind the scenes so she can soak it all in and learn it, but wait a little bit because there's a different pressure, I think, in that situation.”
As for Gellar and fellow Buffy co-star Alyson Hannigan’s partnership with the Ask2BSure campaign, the pair tell Parade that it was important for them — especially as mothers to teenagers — to get the word out about making sure their kids are vaccinated against the five disease-causing types of meningitis, including A, B, C, W and Y, all of which can lead to death or severe lifelong complications.

Gellar adds: “When Alyson was first doing the campaign, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, my kids were vaccinated for meningitis,’ and then you would go, ‘Oh, wait, there's this other strain of it that is not part of the original vaccination series,’ and that is really easy to slip through the cracks. And because it hits the ages between 16 to 23, which are the most vulnerable — which is exactly where our kids are — it can tailspin you.”
