Kurt Russell to go under the knife following an “unforeseen medical issue”
When considering the most endearing romances of Tinseltown, the enduring partnership of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn is often a standout example. The duo attributes their lasting bond of over 37 years, in part, to their choice to forego marriage.
Kurt plays a cherished paternal role in the lives of Goldie’s kids, Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson, two actors who never shy away from expressing their deep appreciation for him. With a tumultuous history with their birth father, Bill Hudson, they both hold Kurt close as their real father, affectionately calling him Pa.
Family dynamics aside, Kurt and Goldie relish their role as doting grandparents. Balancing family time with alone time, they continue to prioritize their relationship.

“He was utterly captivating, though quite youthful at the time,” Goldie reminisced. “We reconnected after many years and I still held a fondness for him from our first introduction. We joked how we would steer clear of dating actors – proof that life can be full of surprises.”
Their rekindled connection on the set of Swing Shift proved to be undeniably right – they were destined to be together.
A touching highlight for the couple was their simultaneous induction onto the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2017. The unveiling of their stars was celebrated with a tender kiss, charming fans and onlookers alike.
Despite their senior status, Kurt and Goldie are far from slowing down. In 2017, a confidante revealed to Closer Weekly that Goldie was very invested in maintaining a healthy diet.
“She truly believes you’re as young as you feel, and she feels as vibrant as ever. Goldie is totally at peace in her skin,” the informant revealed.
“Goldie has upped her fitness game,” remarked another source. “She thrives on variety rather than sticking to one strict workout regimen. Every day is a new adventure with her exercises.”
Regarding her regimen, Goldie herself shared her daily commitment to green juice. “I’m devoted to my daily green juice! My diet is mostly liquid, I’m careful not to overfill my stomach and I avoid mixing too many types of food. For example, if I fancy some protein, I’ll just have a bowl of lentils without combining it with other foods,” she explained to People.
Kurt remains a powerhouse of activity, with ongoing film projects including appearances in Fast & Furious 9 and the series What If…?
Although typically healthy, Kurt faces a health setback that requires surgical intervention this month. Despite looking forward to being honored at the Oklahoma City-based Hall of Great Western Performers in October, he will not be present due to the health predicament. Originally planning to delay, his physicians emphasized the urgency of addressing the matter this September.
According to The Oklahoman, the celebrated actor of The Christmas Chronicles is preparing for hip surgery.
“I was hopeful we could wait, yet my health team insisted it be handled this September. Although it’s disappointing to miss this year’s event, I appreciate the museum’s flexibility to postpone our celebration to 2022, allowing me to be there in the flesh,” he said in an official statement.
