Goldie Hawn makes shock revelation she BLOCKED Kate Hudson from acting during teen years
Goldie Hawn is proud that her three children have followed in her acting footsteps, especially since they did it without her help. The Oscar winner, 79, opened up about her parenting style in a question and answer session after a special screening of 1974's The Sugarland Express at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday. The crime drama was the first feature film co-written and directed by Steven Spielberg. Referring to her kids, Hawn said she wanted to keep their childhoods as normal as possible and had actually blocked daughter Kate Hudson, 46, from being offered a part. 'I didn't call an agent and ask them to be represented. I never did that,' the Private Benjamin star said, per People.

'In fact, they wanted Katie for some show, and she was still in high school. And I didn't let her do it because I didn't want her at that age, I wanted her to live a normal life, finish school, at which point you figure that out, but don't start too soon.' The plan seems to have worked. Hudson, 46, was 21 when she received an Academy Award nomination for her breakout role in 2000's Almost Famous and has enjoyed a lengthy career in a variety of roles, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Glass Onion. Hawn's sons Oliver Hudson, 48, and Wyatt Russell, 38, have also taken up acting, with Russell most recently appearing in Thunderbolts. The First Wives Club star shares Kate and Oliver with ex-husband Bill Hudson, 75, and Wyatt, 38, with her longtime partner Kurt Russell, 74. Hawn said her kids were her 'legacy,' and that she valued their characters more than their professional achievements, and shies away from giving them advice. No, they have to cut their own way,' she told the audience. 'They don't want advice from their parents. Who does?... Too much advice. And also they're doing it on their own.' 'What feels good is that they're amazing human beings,' she said. 'They happen to be talented... They're great humans, all of them. And all my grandchildren — now I have eight — and they're great humans.' Hawn hopes her kids surpass her in their careers. 'Who doesn't want to be bigger and better than their parents? That's the whole idea,' she explained. 'The fact that we supersede our parents, that's what we're supposed to do. So we wanted that. Kurt and I wanted that. And so when we look at it, we go, "Oh my God, this is just so awesome."' The proud grandma recently gave three of her grandchildren parts in her upcoming educational film Brain Buddies. ' I wrote and produced it, and three of my grandkids, Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio, did the voices,' she said of Oliver's kids, ages 17, 14, and 11 respectively. 'What I loved is how well they followed the direction that I was giving them, and they were great at intonation and how they delivered the lines and what their characters are and all of it,' she said of the experience. 'So for me, it was a memorable joy that I will have for the rest of my life, and the children will never forget it.'
