Kate Hudson says her acting idol is her ‘stepdad’

The actress insists if she could emulate the success of any star it would be her mother Goldie Hawn’s long-term partner Kurt Russell – who has raised her since the age of three.

She said: “As an actress, my goal is to make my acting effortless. I look at my dad Kurt and I don’t even notice his performance.

“You don’t want anyone to catch you actually acting, you know?”

Kurt met Goldie on the set of the movie ‘Swing Shift’ in 1983.

The 28-year-old star – whose biological father is musician Bill Hudson – has also credited Goldie and Kurt with keeping her grounded.

She said: “My parents gave me the greatest career advice. They said, ‘Make sure you have interests in other fields.’ ”
