Kurt Russell is a veteran actor, and after decades of success in the entertainment industry, it’s fair to assume he’d have some wisdom to impart. Oliver Hudson admires his stepfather, and when his career was not going in the direction he wanted, Russell’s comments changed his outlook.
“When I was on my 24th birthday, I was sort of struggling as an actor trying to figure it out,” he told ET in 2022. “Kate is a movie star, my parents are stars, I felt like a black sheep of sorts. I put that on myself. And [Kurt] said, ‘Look, Oliver, you have to stop caring. Don’t give a s*** what people think, how you look, all the stuff, you just do you.'” While Hudson acknowledges this statement is easier said than done, he values Russell’s guidance. “I think that’s the best advice because it frees you up,” he shared.
It has been over 20 years since Russell offered this tip, and clearly, it has served Hudson well; his acting career took off in the 2000s and has yet to slow down. Some of Hudson’s more recent projects include television series “The Cleaning Lady,” “Splitting Up Together,” and “Scream Queens.”
