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]

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]
