Oliver Hudson talked openly about his experiences growing up with renowned yet separated parents.

The actor, whose parents are Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson, admitted that he occasionally felt “unprotected” while he was with his mother in an episode of his podcast “Sibling Revelry” with sister Kate Hudson that aired on March 18. Oliver Hudson said his stepfather Kurt Russell raised him since his father “wasn’t there” because of their divorce.

As she was the one constant in my life, my mom would be kind of easygoing. It turned completely around. As he related his experience with the Hoffman Process, a therapeutic retreat, “My mother was the one that came up the most.”

Surprisingly, I had almost the greatest trauma from my mother because she was my primary caretaker and I spent a lot of time with her. So sometimes I felt unprotected, said Oliver Hudson

Goldie Hawn’s Love Life

After being wed from 1976 until 1982, Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson split up in 1980. Oliver and Kate Hudson are shared by them. In 1983, Goldie Hawn went on to date Kurt Russell. Since then, the couple has remained together and had a 37-year-old son named Wyatt Russell. From his first marriage to Season Hubley, Kurt Russell also has a son named Boston Russell.

Oliver Hudson on his Childhood Trauma

Oliver Hudson, however, said that he experienced some instability growing up.

I didn’t particularly like her new boyfriends, or she would be working in some capacity. He went on, saying, “This was my perception as a child who didn’t have a dad and who needed her to be there. She would be living her life and she was an amazing mother.”

Even though Goldie Hawn was around more often than his father, Oliver Hudson claimed that occasionally she “just wasn’t” there for him.

Oliver Hudson clarified, “And she just wasn’t sometimes and she came out far more than even my dad who wasn’t there.” But it was amazing when I was with him. He gave me his whole attention. We went to the beach, played basketball, and softball, and he taught me how to fish. He was so there, but it felt like he was never there.

Oliver Hudson’s relationship with his father Bill Hudson

Oliver Hudson’s connection with his father has been turbulent. He shared an old photo of himself, Kate, and Bill Judson back in 2015. He wrote, “Happy abandonment day,” as the photo’s caption.

Bill Hudson expressed his disapproval of the piece in an interview with The Mail shortly after it was published, saying, “I say to them now, ‘I set you free.'” Although I was born with five children, I currently identify myself as a parent of three. Kate and Oliver are no longer mine to claim.”

He also proposed that they give up using his last name.

But Oliver Hudson stated in a 2018 interview with “Larry King Now” that he was attempting to patch things up with his father, who they had split up with.

Oliver Hudson discussed how he was going through the Hoffman Process in the audio episode from March 18 to have a deeper understanding of his trauma and sentiments toward his parents.

Meanwhile, Oliver Hudson and Kate have sent heartfelt messages on Father’s Day and their stepfather’s birthday throughout the years, expressing their affection for him.
