“I Like Who They Are” (Exclusive)

Goldie Hawn chatted with “Extra’s” Terri Seymour at her Goldie’s Love-In gala celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUP.

She spoke about the important work they have done to help children, saying: “It’s about how you deal with your emotions, learning how your brain works.” We’re based on brain research… if that Children know how their brain works, they have much more context about their emotions and can deal with what is going on in their brain… our brains are a superpower.”

Goldie also spoke about how proud she is of her own children and gushed: “They’re all grown up, they’re fabulous,” she said. “You look at how the children behave. You see how they behave, you see how polite they are, you see how different they are and how friendly. That’s good parenting. We have everything…Kurt and I did a pretty good job in my opinion.”

She added: “I’m most proud of my children. I like them and think they are very healthy and honest.”

Daughter Kate Hudson performed at the event and Goldie also praised her singing and songwriting talent.

Goldie said: “She’s a great music writer, she’s a great singer. That’s one of the reasons why I’m proud of her.”

Terri also spoke to Kate, who said she was having “so much fun” with her music.

Hudson explained that after the pandemic hit, she realized, “I’m not really the most honest, creative version of myself.” From then on, she had to “overcome some fears that were holding me back.”

She added: “I’m so glad I did it because it’s just my favorite thing to do. I love singing.”

It turns out her daughter Rani, 5, also likes to sing.

“She’s in kindergarten and loves American Girl Dolls, that’s her favorite thing… but she loves to sing. She loves makeup, she loves fashion, she’s very, very girly.”

Kurt Russell was also on hand to support Goldie and Terri asked about the secret to their 40-year relationship.

“I hate to disappoint you, there is no such thing as a perfect couple,” he said. “There is no secret. Everyone has to go their own way and figure out what they find together, and we continue to do the same thing.”

He also praised her efforts with her foundation and MindUp, saying, “I’m just really proud of her for what she’s done and her tenacity to stick with it.” It’s not easy… the fact that it could have been so successful and changed so many children’s lives in a positive way and the research that goes into it and all the information that they get from all that research “The ones we’ve pulled out are pretty fantastic.”
