'WE HAVE TO TAKE RISKS AND NOT ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY'

ACTRESS KATE HUDSON TALKS ABOUT HER NEW COMEDIC ROLE, THE SINGER WHO INSPIRED HER TO GO FOR IT AND WORKING ALONGSIDE FORMER 007 DANIEL CRAIG

Hollywood superstar Kate Hudson has another hit under her belt with new Netflix movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The actress oozes glamour in every scene, and her hilarious turn as model-turned-influencer Birdie Jay has made us fall in love with her all over again.

With Kate, 43, planning a big year in 2023 – after she made the surprise announcement that she’ll be releasing her first record – we were overjoyed when we were invited along to meet her and talk to her about her life in the limelight. Especially all the tales about what it was like being brought up in such a famous household.

The star – who is mum to Ryder, 19, Bingham,11, and four-year-old Rani Rose – is the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn and singer Bill Hudson, but she was raised in a home with Goldie and her partner of almost 40 years, actor Kurt Russell. Her brothers Olivier, 46, and Wyatt, 36, are also actors – with Oliver starring in Rules Of Engagement as Adam Rhodes and Wyatt appearing in a series of Marvel movies.

So it’s perhaps no surprise that Kate herself got into acting when she was young.

“My dad said something to me when I was about 16 and it stuck with me,” she says, as we catch up with her on a whirlwind promotional visit to London.

“[He asked me] ‘What if I told you that you’re going to do community theatre your whole life in Ohio?’

“I looked at him and said, ‘Well, then I’ll be in Ohio doing community theatre, that’s what I’ll do,’ to which he replied, ‘Then you should be an actor.’
