Oliver Hudson has given his mother, Goldie Hawn, her flowers, even though his children don’t yet realize how legendary she really is.
Speak with We weekly at the Make-A-Wish Foundation Gala at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Beverly Hills on Friday, December 5, Hudson reflected on growing up in a household of Hollywood greats, and how different that perspective is for his own children.
Notably, Hudson shares sons Wilder and Bodhi and daughter Rio with wife Erinn Bartlett.
“She definitely has an influence on my kids, whether they know it or not, you know what I mean?” he said.
Hudson explained that while his children are aware of “Goldie Hawn,” they don’t fully understand the cultural weight their grandmother carries in the entertainment world.
“They don’t see her that way,” he said.
“They see her as ‘Go Go’ – as grandma. We call her ‘Go Go’, [that’s] mother, and ‘Go Gee’ is Kurt [Russell]. So yes, they see her [and him] like Go Go and Go Gee, but they understand the most.”
Nevertheless, he said he believes this realization will come with age. “
“I’m not sure they understand how iconic she really is and how she defined a generation for women. They will understand that in time. They’ll learn.’
Hudson also revealed to the outlet that he hopes to one day make a documentary about Hawn’s “fascinating” life.
