A New Generation of Talent in the Hawn Family
Goldie Hawn, a legendary figure in Hollywood, continues to build her family’s legacy with her 12-year-old granddaughter, Rio, stepping into the spotlight as the latest member of the Hawn dynasty. The actress, who is now 79, recently shared her thoughts on Rio’s growing interest in acting during a joint interview with her granddaughter and her father, Oliver Hudson. The conversation was shared on Access Hollywood’s Instagram account on August 16, offering fans a glimpse into the Hawn family's evolving story.
Hawn expressed her support for Rio’s aspirations with a warm smile, saying, “I don’t think we have a choice frankly.” She added that this sentiment also applied to her daughter, Kate Hudson, who also found her path in the entertainment industry. “I didn’t have a choice, and I think this one, we don’t have a choice.”
The actress emphasized that her main goal for Rio is simply for her to be happy. “All I want her to be is happy,” she said. “I don’t care about anything else.” This sentiment reflects the deep love and support that Hawn has for her family, especially when it comes to their personal choices and dreams.
Oliver Hudson, who is 48, shared his perspective on how he plans to introduce Rio to the world of entertainment. “She wants it,” he explained. “She’s an amazing dancer. It’s in her genes. But we’re gonna do plays first. … We’re gonna go slowly.” His approach highlights a balance between nurturing talent and ensuring that Rio can grow at her own pace.
Oliver and Rio are part of a blended family that includes Erinn Bartlett, his wife, whom he married in June 2006. Together, they are parents to sons Wilder, 17, and Bodhi, 15. Rio’s journey into the entertainment industry is not just a personal endeavor but also a continuation of a long line of actors in her family.
Rio is part of a rich lineage that includes her grandmother, Goldie Hawn, her father, Oliver Hudson, her aunt Kate Hudson, her uncle Wyatt Russell, and her grandmother’s longtime partner, Kurt Russell. This family tree is filled with accomplished actors and artists, making Rio’s entry into the field both natural and expected.
In addition to Oliver’s children, Goldie Hawn is also a grandmother to Kate’s three children: son Ryder, 21, with ex-husband Chris Robinson; son Bingham, 14, with ex-fiancé Matt Bellamy; and daughter Rani, 6, with fiancé Danny Fujikawa. She is also the grandmother to Wyatt Russell’s sons, Buddy, 4, and Boone, 18 months, with his wife Meredith Hagner.
Hawn has often spoken about the joy and pride she feels as a grandmother. In a 2022 interview with Australian Women’s Weekly, she shared her feelings about her role in the family. “I look at our kids and grandchildren, and there’s nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all of them,” she said. “Being a grandmother is amazing, I love it. It brings incredible joy. Family is so important.”
As Rio takes her first steps into the world of acting, the Hawn family continues to thrive, showcasing the power of legacy, love, and support. With each new generation, the family’s influence in Hollywood grows stronger, proving that the magic of the screen runs deep in their blood.
