Oliver Hudson reveals why he and sister Kate Hudson rejected Kurt Russell’s offer to adopt them
“Sibling Revelry” podcast, Oliver revealed that Russell had offered to legally adopt them when he started dating their mother, Goldie Hawn, back in the 1980s.“Kurt came into my life when I was six, five or six, kind of the same, and essentially he raised me,” Oliver said during the episode.The “Rules of Engagement” actor, 48, hosted the episode solo alongside guests Tish Cyrus-Purcell and Brandi Cyrus — who was born during her mom’s first marriage to drummer Baxter Helson and later adopted by Billy Ray Cyrus when they tied the knot.During the conversation, Oliver revealed that when Russell entered his life at a young age, the star quickly stepped into the father role and was open to making it official on paper.“There was a moment when he asked us, myself and Kate, if we wanted to be adopted and we said ‘no,'” Oliver shared.“And not that we were, you know, very aware of what it even f–king meant we were six and however old, or twelve, I don’t even remember the age but we just said ‘we don’t need it.
