Kurt Russell has had an extraordinary life with his long and successful acting career alone. But that is a drop in the bucket compared to some of the insane experiences that he has encountered, according to his stepchildren, Kate and Oliver Hudson.
Kurt Russell’s Happy Life With Goldie Hawn
Kurt Russell has been acting since he was a small boy of 11. His first acting role was also quite an experience. In 1963, he made his acting debut alongside Elvis Presley in the film It Happened at the World’s Fair. Kurt Russell also has an exciting love life. He met the love of his life, Goldie Hawn, in 1983 while working together in the film Swing Shift.
They have been together ever since. Along with meeting the love of his life, Kurt Russell also took on raising Goldie’s kids, Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson. During their recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kate and Oliver opened up about their relationship with Kurt and shared some crazy stories about his life.
Oliver and Kate Hudson revealed that Kurt Russell has encountered some infamous and scary people throughout his 72 years. Kate tells Jimmy Kimmel that Kurt always seems to be in some scenario.

Kate & Oliver Reveals Their Stepdad’s Scary Past
The Hudson siblings go to tell how Kurt Russell was on camera when O.J. Simpson drove into his house during the infamous 1994 police chase. Oliver states Kurt was in the driveway and was seen by millions watching the news.
But that is not all; the Hudson siblings continue and share that he also had run-ins with serial killer Ted Bundy and allegedly beat up Charles Manson’s accomplice Tex Watson. Kate says that the Ted Bundy encounter took place after Bundy escaped from prison in Colorado. Oliver jumps to finish the tale and calls it a crazy story. He says Kurt Russell was camping; he sat down his plate of food to retire something, and when he came back, the plate was gone.
Later, After Ted Bundy was captured, he said he survived after his escape because he found a guy camping in the woods and stole his food. What are the odds? Kurt mellowed out as he grew older, but his adventures should be made into a movie about his life. Wouldn’t you agree?
