Goldie Hawn, 78, reveals what first attracted her to longtime love Kurt Russell, 73, in candid new interview - as pair mark 41 years together
Goldie Hawn has revealed what first attracted her to longtime love Kurt Russell in a candid new interview.
The actress, 78, whose son Oliver Hudson, 47, recently clarified a statement about childhood trauma, opened up about her four decade relationship with Russell, 73, on the Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend podcast.
In a clip shared with People from the episode which will air April 15, the legendary entertainer said she was first attracted to her Overboard co-star because of the way he treated her children, Oliver, and younger sister Kate, now 44.
'He is a family man,' the Oscar winner said of the former Disney star, who was a single dad to son Boston, 44, when they first met.
Russell shares his oldest son with ex-wife Season Hubley, 73.

'I can't explain it, but he was the one for me,' she admitted.
'It wasn't just because he was sexy and handsome and all of those things you get turned on by; it was because he matched my devotion to children to be number one.'
'The seduction was really his personality and his focus on the children,' she maintained.
Hawn was divorced from her second husband, Bill Hudson, 74, when the couple first met, and the Rendezvous singer was basically estranged from his children after that.
After getting together, Russell and Hawn welcomed son Wyatt in 1986.
Father and son play the same character in Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters.
The Apple series was renewed for a second season, according to Deadline.
As for the secret to their successful relationship, the Oscar winner admitted she and her longtime love 'don't agree on everything.'

The couple don't agree on everything. 'His politics are different than mine,' the First Wives Club actress said, without elaborating. 'You know, there's all these things that could divide you. But the one thing that we have, the greatest thing in God's world, is our family'

'His politics are different than mine,' the First Wives Club actress told O'Brien, without elaborating.
'You know, there's all these things that could divide you. But the one thing that we have, the greatest thing in God's world, is our family,' she claimed. 'That is where we thrive and where we have incredible amounts of joy and really focus on that.'
Both Oliver and Kate refer to their stepdad as 'Pa' and look to him as the father-figure in their lives.
'I have a stepfather who stepped in and played a huge, huge part in sharing what it is to have a dependable father figure in our life,' the Glass Onion actress told Sunday Today with Willie Geist in 2021.
