Goldie Hawn, 79, Makes Red Carpet Appearance With Her Family, Sparking Mixed Reactions

Goldie Hawn's latest red carpet appearance with her family has stirred debate online, with netizens split between admiration for the Hollywood icon and confusion over her playful behavior.

Goldie Hawn turned the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere into a fun-filled family event on Monday, July 21, 2025, in New York City.

The 79-year-old actress attended the red carpet with her son, Oliver Hudson, his wife, Erinn Bartlett, and their three children — Wilder, 17, Bodhi, 15, and Rio, 12.

Hawn wore a sparkling blue and white patterned dress to the event. Hudson opted for a black floral button-down shirt, while Bartlett wore a simple black dress and flats. Their children also wore outfits in neutral tones.

Fans responded warmly to the appearance, praising the family. One netizen wrote, "Rio is the spitting image of Goldie Hawn her grandma [sic]." Another echoed, "Rio looks so much like grandma 😱."

As videos of the family surfaced online, many praised Hawn's appearance. "Ms Goldie never disappoints 😍," one supporter commented. Another gushed, "Adorable Goldie! Always has been and still is ❤️."

Some comments focused on the family's overall appearance. "OMG! Those genes… beautiful family 😍👏❤️," a fan said. Another fan observed, "The girl is a clone of her grandmother and aunt. And the kids look exactly like their father."

However, not all feedback was positive. A few netizens took issue with Hawn's behavior around her grandchildren. "What's going on with her tongue 👅 wagging [sic]," one netizen wondered. "The tongue thing is just weird... ewww, [sic]" echoed another.

"Goldi behaving childlike! Hope she is ok. But still love her smiles… even with the tongue behavior! 🙄, [sic]" another comment read.

Despite the mixed reactions, Hawn appeared to enjoy herself, smiling, laughing, and embracing her family throughout the evening.

As buzz around the premiere continues, some fans also noted the absence of Hawn's longtime partner, Kurt Russell. Still, the couple remains a favorite among netizens.

In a lighthearted twist, AI-generated images imagining what their children might have looked like together, if they had more, have recently surfaced online.

The only thing cuter than Russell and Hawn's love for one another is the bond shared by their children. Whether attending public events, championing personal projects, or posting heartfelt messages online, the Russell-Hawn family always stands united.

Goldie and Kurt have been partners for over 40 years. Their relationship has become one of Hollywood's most enduring stories. Before they found each other, they each had children from previous marriages. Goldie had Kate and Oliver with musician Bill Hudson. Kurt had his son, Boston, with actress Season Hubley.

Together, Kurt and Goldie welcomed one son, Wyatt Russell. He has followed in their footsteps with a career in film and television, further expanding the family’s legacy in entertainment. But what if the couple had welcomed more children together?

In a digital age shaped by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, it's now possible to visualize hypothetical scenarios that once lived only in imagination. Using cutting-edge AI technology, we explored what three biological children of Goldie and Kurt might have looked like if they had expanded their family further.

The concept is simple but striking — generate faces that combine the couple's most distinct features across different stages of life. From childhood to adulthood and into later years, the results offer a fascinating glimpse at genetics, blended expressions, and family resemblance.

The first AI-generated photo shows the imagined trio as children. The kids bear a delightful mix of features — Kurt's strong jawline paired with Goldie's bright eyes and expressive smiles. Their youthful energy radiates through the image. Each child carries traces of their iconic parents, reimagined through the lens of technology.

In the second image, the AI shows the children as young adults. Their features have matured, highlighting the natural blend of genetics. There's a sense of confidence in their gaze. One resembles a younger Kurt, while another echoes Goldie's charisma. A third stands out with a mix of both.

The final AI image projects the children into later life. Time has deepened their features. Wrinkles trace gentle paths across familiar faces. Eyes still sparkle. There's a sense of continuity, as if the love between Goldie and Kurt lives on in the faces of these imagined individuals.

Goldie and Russell aren't just close to their children — they're neighbors, confidants, and lifelong supporters. Even as their kids have grown into adults with families of their own, the connection remains unbreakable.

Kate, now a successful actress and and a mother, lives just down the street from her mom and stepdad, Kurt. But that's not close enough for her. "We're literally neighbors," she said in a 2020 interview. "Not to mention I want to buy the property next door to them."

Her playful side comes out when she jokes about needing her mother nearby. Kate said she sometimes calls her mother to "Come tuck me in." But Goldie, 79, still vibrant and social, often has her own plans. "She's like, 'I'm going out,'" Kate added. "I'm like, 'No, no, I need you to rub my feet.'"

Beyond the laughs, there's deep admiration. "Mom was so available to being my greatest cheerleader," Kate said, reflecting on their bond. Goldie, now a grandmother of seven, beams with pride when speaking about how her children have grown into parents themselves.

Goldie and Kurt's biological child, Wyatt, is also successful in his own right. While his siblings and parents are known for their deep ties to Hollywood, Wyatt took a slightly different route before stepping into the spotlight. He didn't grow up dreaming of superheroes or movie stardom.

In fact, his childhood idols were athletes. So when he landed a role in the Marvel universe, it marked a new chapter and a surprising one. Appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2021, Wyatt opened up about his role in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier." "I didn't grow up knowing much about comic books," he said. "My heroes were athletes."

When the talk show host asked if he pretended to know more than he did to land the part, Wyatt confessed, "I did a little." After being shown an image of the character, he nodded along until the backstory got too complex and he had to admit he didn't know anything.

The Marvel team was understanding. "It was semi-embarrassing to be in the Marvel office going, 'I don't know,'" he added with a laugh. Years earlier, Wyatt had auditioned for the lead role in "Captain America." That part went to Chris Evans, but fate brought Wyatt back.

This time, he joined the Marvel franchise as a new version of the character—an unexpected full-circle moment. Around the same time Wyatt was making headlines in the Marvel universe, he was also embracing a life-changing role at home.

In early 2021, Wyatt and his wife, actress Meredith Hagner, welcomed their first child. Their son, Buddy Prine Russell, instantly became part of the family's next generation.

"It's incredible," Wyatt gushed about fatherhood in an interview. "It's everything you didn't know it was going to be." The couple had married in 2019 at Goldie's home in Aspen, Colorado, keeping the family connection close. And now, Buddy has the joy of growing up with Goldie and Kurt as grandparents.

Asked what the famous grandparents are called, Wyatt revealed a sweet tradition. "They're Gogo and Gogi," he explained. "My dad, his wine that he makes is called Gogi because his nickname in life was Gogi, and my mom’s nickname in life was Gogo."

While Wyatt charted a path from sports to superheroes, his older half-brother Oliver has taken a more laid-back approach to life in the spotlight. Oliver, known for his roles in television and his sharp comedic timing, grew up in a household that embraced openness in all forms.

That comfort with vulnerability and humor shows up in how he presents himself — even online. In a feature for People's Sexiest Man Alive issue, Oliver spoke candidly about why he's so comfortable posting nude photos and videos on Instagram.

"It comes from growing up in a very open family, honestly," he said. "Nudity has never been taboo. We were all born naked and it’s the way it is." That mindset didn't change when he became a father. "Even now with my kids, we're just naked people. That's just the way it is. I'm definitely comfortable with it," he added.

In September, Oliver made headlines when he posted a humorous video of himself running naked through the snow. Instagram briefly removed it, but that didn't stop him from sharing it again. For Oliver, it's less about shock value and more about authenticity.

Not all of Kurt's children chose a public path. Boston, his eldest son from his first marriage, has largely kept his life private. Born in 1980 in Los Angeles, Boston had a brief brush with Hollywood, with credits including "Executive Decision" and "60 Minutes."

But unlike his half-siblings, he prefers to live away from cameras and headlines. Though quieter in presence, Boston remains part of the extended Russell-Hawn family.
