Hudson Reflects on Growing Up With Hawn
Kate Hudson recently revealed that she and Goldie Hawn rarely discuss acting and instead bond over life experiences and movies.
The family getaway comes after Hudson opened up about a memorable experience she shared with Hawn during a January 13 screening of one of her films at The Grove in Los Angeles.
“It was so much fun for her to ask me questions about my process,” Hudson said, explaining that they “never talk about acting.”
Instead, the duo usually discuss movies and life experiences. Hudson shared that Hawn and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell, were never "stage parents."
She explained that they encouraged her to build her own foundation by taking theater and movement classes.
“It was always more about me learning my craft versus them trying to give me advice,” she stated.
Hudson also reflected on how her approach to acting differs from her mother's.
She described Hawn as "spontaneous" and someone who often "goes off book."
Meanwhile, she sees more of herself in Russell's process.
“And Kurt is the other way. Which is, Kurt is all story. His scripts look like, you know, a mad scientist,” she joked. “I’m a little more like my dad in that way.”
A Mother-Daughter Bond That Lasts
Kate Hudson credited Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell for encouraging her to develop her craft independently rather than giving direct career advice.
Hawn and Hudson have long shared a close relationship both on and off the screen.
“Hudson has modeled her life after Hawn’s in so many ways, from her career to her lifestyle choices,” a source told Life & Style. "Kate says Goldie always taught her to follow her heart and to believe in herself, even when others doubted her."
When it comes to love, Hudson — who has been engaged to Danny Fujikawa since 2021 — also revealed the advice she learned from her mom.
"Be true to yourself. When you’re connected intimately it’s a huge time of growth, so accept what that is and go there even when it’s uncomfortable."
