Kate Hudson Says She Doesn’t Seek Acting Advice From Mom Goldie Hawn

In a recent interview, Kate Hudson clarified that she does not seek acting advice from her mother, Goldie Hawn.

The Almost Famous actress, now 46, discussed her latest project, Song Sung Blue, and her nomination for Best Actress at the Oscars during an episode of Deadline’s The Actor’s Side with Pete Hammond.

Hudson shared an enjoyable experience when Hawn, 80, interviewed her at a screening of the film on January 13 at the Grove in Los Angeles. “It was so much fun for her to ask me questions about my process,” Hudson said, emphasizing that they “never talk about acting.”

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.

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.”
