Watch : Ellar Coltrane Calls Ethan Hawke His "Best Friend"Ellar Coltrane is shedding light on his life beyond Boyhood. Over a decade after he starred in the 2014 coming-of-age drama, which took 12 years to make, the former child actor shared he’s “moved on” from Hollywood and detailed what he’s up to now. “I live in the middle of nowhere,” Coltrane told Variety in an interview published Aug. 4. “Really, in my life I’ve moved on,” Coltrane explained. “I do manual labor, and I’m a volunteer firefighter, and I’m working on my EMT license right now.”
