Kurt Russell Shares How Granddaughter Rio Is Taking After Goldie Hawn


Kurt Russell knows his granddaughter Rio Hudson has sky high potential. 

The Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood actor shared how the 12-year-old—whose parents are Oliver Hudson and Erinn Bartlett—takes after his longtime partner Goldie Hawn, becoming known as her mini-me.

“Rio has got something,” Kurt exclusively told E! News at The Madison NYC Red Carpet March 9. “Everybody can see it, and it’s her own. It’s very much her own, so heads up.”

As for what advice he’s given his granddaughter should she pursue a career in entertainment?

“Same as we’ve given to all our other children—none at all,” the 74-year-old quipped. “They’re gonna do things their own way. They’re gonna find things that they wanna do. You never know where it’s gonna go.”

And taking after her grandma is the highest compliment. As Kurt described the First Wives Club actress, “She’s a fabulous, unique human being.”

Previously, the Sky High actor—who shares son Wyatt Hudson, 39, with Goldie as well as Boston Russell, 46, with ex-wife Season Hubley—revealed his adorable nickname for Rio, and it pays homage to her grandmother.
