Oliver Hudson Shares Insecurities From Being Raised By Mom Goldie Hawn

Oliver Hudson is shining a spotlight on growing up in his famous family. 

The Nashville actor shared how being raised by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell—along with his siblings Kate Hudson, Boston Russell and Wyatt Russell—has impacted his self-esteem. 

“Coming from a successful family, I wrestle with comparison. I wrestle with insecurity,” Oliver said in a confessional during the season five premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. “My mother’s an icon, so a part of me feels like I have to accomplish something greater for them to be truly proud of me.”

Oliver—dad to kids Wilder, 18, Bodhi, 15, and Rio, 12, with wife Erinn Bartlett—competed alongside 14 other celebrity recruits on the FOX reality series, which puts participants through grueling challenges inspired by the real-life U.S. Special Forces selection process.

Though he shared insight into why he joined the show, it wouldn’t be the first time the Scream Queens actor has opened up about his childhood.
