Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn ‘love rural life’
Kurt Russell says he and long-term partner Goldie Hawn love rural life in Colorado, speaking at the London premiere of his new TV series The Madison. He told assembled attendees he is “really glad” he made the choice to move to Colorado and that Goldie Hawn wanted to go there. The Madison, which follows a New York family through grief in rural Montana, frames Russell’s reflections on urban and country life.
Russell on choices, Colorado and reflection
Kurt Russell, actor, told the audience that as people age they re-evaluate life choices and that moving to Colorado was one he values. He said, “As you get older and you begin to sort of look at your life as a whole – I’m really glad that I made some of the choices I made in my life. ” He added, “One, moving to Colorado. I was fortunate in that Goldie loves Colorado. She wanted to go there. We get there as much as we possibly can. It’s a draw for me. “
Russell contrasted city life and country life directly, calling urban life valuable but noting the country gives people “time for self-reflection. ” He said that returning to the land can remind people of things about themselves that are often lost in an urban environment.
Goldie Hawn and the couple’s Colorado retreat
The actor framed the Colorado retreat as a mutual draw: Goldie Hawn wanted to move and the couple now spends as much time there as possible. The piece of Russell’s life he described includes his long-term partnership with Goldie Hawn, their decision to build a quieter life away from showbusiness, and the family ties that follow. Russell has been with Goldie Hawn since the early 1980s; the context notes the couple share a son, actor Wyatt Russell, and that Russell is a stepfather to Goldie Hawn’s other children, including actress Kate Hudson.
Those family details underline why the rural option matters for the pair: the Colorado retreat offers a quieter rhythm for family life and reflection. Russell emphasised that the countryside can teach people things about themselves that are easy to forget when immersed in city routines.
The Madison, grief and what comes next
Russell was at the premiere of The Madison, a series that tells the story of a New York family navigating grief after a loss in rural Montana. Patrick J. Adams, a co-star, spoke about his own recent experience with bereavement and how that informed his approach to the part. Adams said he had “lost my stepfather a year beforehand” and described the first year of grief as “a profound, profound time, ” adding that the story was “such a beautiful meditation on grief” and on people from the city finding themselves out of their element in the countryside.
The cast also includes Michelle Pfeiffer, and the series is scheduled to premiere on a streaming platform later this month. Adams stressed the series shows “the importance of having loved ones at hard times, ” saying isolation and reliance on screens can leave people vulnerable when real-life crises arrive.
What’s next: Russell’s reflections on rural life — and Goldie Hawn’s role in choosing Colorado — will likely shape public interest in The Madison when it premieres later this month, and viewers can expect the series to foreground family, grief and the contrast between urban and country life. The story suggests the couple will continue to use their Colorado retreat as a place for reflection and family connection as they move forward.
