Veteran actor Kurt Russell has openly declared that Colorado stands as his absolute favourite place, offering a stark and refreshing contrast to the bustling environment of Hollywood. The 75-year-old star, who has been in a long-term relationship with actress Goldie Hawn, 80, detailed the serene rural lifestyle they share in the state, emphasising its appeal over the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown.
A Peaceful Retreat from Hollywood
In a recent interview with Fox News, Russell expressed his deep affection for Colorado, where he resides with Hawn and their extended family. He highlighted that one of the most enjoyable aspects is Hawn's own fondness for the location, stating, 'What I enjoy most is that [Goldie] really likes it in Colorado.' This mutual appreciation strengthens their bond and enhances their experience in the scenic state.
Family Connections in Colorado
Russell further elaborated on their family ties to Colorado, noting that their son Wyatt and his wife Meredith, along with their two boys, now live there. This familial presence motivates the couple to spend as much time as possible in the state. 'Wyatt and Meredith and their two boys, they live in Colorado now. So we like to spend as much time there as we can,' Russell added, underscoring the importance of family gatherings in their Colorado retreat.
Contrast with On-Screen Life
The actor also drew comparisons between his personal lifestyle and the settings of his new Paramount+ series, The Madison, which was filmed in Montana and Texas. While promoting the show, Russell admitted, 'I'd like to be there more,' referring to Colorado, and explained, 'And there's a different kind of life there. That's primarily it. I'd like to be able to spend as much time there as possible.' This sentiment highlights his preference for the authentic, laid-back atmosphere of Colorado over the fictional or temporary locales of his work.
Describing Their Colorado Home
In a separate discussion with The Wall Street Journal, Russell provided vivid details about the property he shares with Hawn in Old Snowmass. He described it as 'a large, beautiful log-cabin lodge on a ranch that we moved into a little over 40 years ago.' Russell cherishes the daily routines there, saying, 'I like to wake up in bed each morning looking at the mountain out back. I like to head down to the barn, saddle up a horse and ride. I also like zoning out in front of the living room fireplace.' These activities encapsulate the tranquil and rustic charm that defines their Colorado life.
A Blended Family and Timeless Home
Russell and Hawn, who have been together since 1983, maintain a blended family that includes children Boston Russell, Oliver Hudson, Kate Hudson, and Wyatt Russell. They frequently return to Colorado despite owning multiple properties. Hawn's son Oliver Hudson previously commented on the family home during a 2022 appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, noting its nostalgic appeal: 'Mom built this house first, and then my stepdad Kurt built the other house. So we lived here in 1985 for two years. It's a bit of a time capsule. Those curtains that you see are like 30 years old, you know what I mean? Mom refuses to update, which, kind of, is great.'
The couple's commitment to Colorado is evident as they balance their time between various residences, always circling back to their beloved ranch. With Wyatt and Meredith's two children adding to their family circle, Russell and Hawn are also grandparents to six other grandchildren, making Colorado a central hub for family life. As Russell promotes The Madison, a series created by Taylor Sheridan that explores urban and rural dynamics, his personal reflections on Colorado reinforce the theme of finding solace and authenticity away from the spotlight.
