Goldie Hawn has been one of the brightest stars in the Hollywood sky for decades. After being practically born into the world of show business, still to this day the beloved actress is working hard to entertain. At the same time, she and partner Kurt Russell continue to reign as one of the sweetest couples in Hollywood.
Their love seems to grow by the day.
In a recent interview with People Magazine, Goldie dished new details about their loving relationship – and how Kurt Russell still to this day takes the time to compliment her in the sweetest ways.
The iconic and long-lasting couple’s commitment to each other is something special, their love story throughout the years even more incredible.
Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell – the love story
Goldie and Kurt first met while filming The Only and Only, Genuine Original Family Band in 1966. Hawn recalled the meeting in an interview with BBC Radio 4.
“I was 21 and he was 16,” Hawn said.
“I thought he was adorable, but he was much too young. Then, years later we met up again, and I remembered that I liked him very much when I first met him. We both said we would never go out with another actor so it just shows you never can tell.”
In 1983, Russell and Hawn met again while filming Swing Shift.
This time, the charming and handsome Russell tried to impress Hawn with the pick-up line: “Man, you’ve got a great figure.”
“I was severely hungover and I didn’t know Goldie at all outside of having worked with her those many years before,” Russell said in a 2017 interview with Conan O’Brien.
“I just didn’t have in my mind what I was going to see, and she had a great body. So the first thing that came out was, ‘Man, you’ve got a great figure.’ It came out quickly and it could’ve gone wrong, and she said, ‘Why thank you.’”
While filming Swing Shift, Kurt and Goldie went out together one night after work. He took her to The Playboy Club, where they spent hours talking.
Afterwards, they decided to move the party to a new house which Hawn had bought. The only problem? She didn’t have the keys, which resulted in the two breaking in.
Goldie Hawn – children
The police later arrived, but it made for an iconic first date. Following that, nothing could split the two lovebirds.
At the time, Goldie had two children from her marriage with Bill Hudson. Her son Oliver was born Sep 7, 1976, and daughter Kate was born Apr 19, 1979.
Kate and Oliver have their own podcast, Sibling Revelry. In one of the episodes, Goldie’s children explained the moment that Kurt stole their mother’s heart.
At the time, Kate recalls being about three years old. Oliver, meanwhile, was six.
“It was the first time he brought him home to the house, wasn’t their first date, but it’s a beautiful story,” Kate said.
“We were living in deep Malibu and mum said that was when she fell in love with Kurt, right away, because she bought him back to the house and we were already asleep.”
Kate and Oliver shared a room, and Kurt Russell walked in one evening and sat down next to the children.
“He sat down next to you [Oliver] first, and watched you sleep. Then came by to me. I believe he watched me longest,” Kate said.
