He won "Year's Best Am" for The Skateboard Mag in December 2013.
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]
