Instead of focusing on acting, the two discuss films and personal experiences. Hudson noted that Hawn and her longtime partner, Kurt Russell, are “not stage parents.”
She explained that their approach encouraged her to develop her skills by taking theater and movement classes. “It was always more about me learning my craft versus them trying to give me advice,” she stated.
Kate Hudson said her parents were never 'stage parents.'
The actress highlighted the differences between her and her mother’s acting styles. Hudson described Hawn as “spontaneous” and someone who often “goes off book.”
On the other hand, she mentioned similarities in her working style with Russell, saying, “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.”
