At first glance, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn seem like very different people. That’s because audiences mostly know them from their different movies. She is often portrayed as the friendly girl next door while he built a career on being an unconventional action hero.
In reality, though, these two have a lot in common. So much so that they have been in a relationship for several decades. How did they meet? Why aren’t they married, and what are their secrets to a successful relationship? Let’s find out!
How did Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn meet?
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn met way back in 1968. They were both appearing in the film The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. This would be Hawn’s first movie and only Russell’s third movie, making both of them Hollywood newbies.
This wasn’t exactly love at first sight for one simple reason: the age gap. According to People, Hawn said that “I was 21 and he was 16 and I thought he was adorable but he was much too young.”
Still, both of them would remember their time on this film. And a young Kurt Russell would particularly be thinking about Goldie Hawn in the coming years!
