Hawk is featured in the Tony Hawk's video game series, appearing in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2.[9]

Hawk is also the frontman of the punk band Warish.[10]

Personal life

Since early 2021, Hawk has been in a relationship with Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love.[11] The couple married on October 7, 2023 in Los Angeles, in a ceremony officiated by former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, Cobain's godfather.[12]

Hawk is a practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has achieved the rank of blue belt in the martial art.[13]
