‘CHRISTMAS IS FOR THE CHILD IN YOU'

HOLLYWOOD ICONS GOLDIE HAWN AND KURT RUSSELL ON CELEBRATING THE FESTIVE PERIOD STAYING POSITIVE AND KEEPING YOUNG

- ALAN TANNER

They have one of Hollywood’s most enduring relationships, so when it comes to Christmas, both Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell naturally agree it’s all about family.

The ever-youthful Goldie, 75, who has appeared in movies such as The First Wives Club and Private Benjamin, has been with Once Upon A Time In… Hollywood star Kurt, 69, for an astonishing 38 years – and they still have no plans to marry!

Together they share son Wyatt, 34, and Goldie is also mum to 41-year-old actress Kate Hudson and actor Oliver, 44, from her first marriage, while Kurt is also dad to Boston, 40, from a previous relationship.

So, when it comes to the festivities, along with their six grandchildren – their seventh due on Christmas Day – there’s a lot to do!

Here, the happy pair talk about their plans for the holidays, their new movie The Christmas Chronicles 2 and how to keep positive during tough times…

What does Christmas Day look like in the Hawn-Russell household?

Goldie: We’re a traditional family. I do a big Christmas dinner and we see Santa Claus. The guy sitting next to me [Kurt] has been playing Santa for a long time, so it’s always good fun. The night before Christmas we hang up our stockings. It’s very sweet.

Kurt: We always have somebody read The Night Before Christmas to get us into the Christmas spirit.
