Oliver Hudson Says He and Father Bill Hudson Are Back in Frequent Contact

He describes the renewed bond as a steady build sparked by a 2015 Father's Day Instagram post.

Overview

  • Hudson says he and his biological father are "getting along great right now" and now text nearly every other day.
  • He recalls emotional in-person time with Bill that included long conversations, lunches, beers and tears as they came to better understand each other.
  • The pair are discussing a few small projects together, reflecting a turn from private estrangement to limited collaboration.
  • Oliver notes seeing his own reflection in Bill’s looks and mindset, while emphasizing that Kurt Russell shaped his identity and approach to parenting.
  • He credits Russell for the "tough love" he uses with his kids, offering that context against Bill’s long absence following the 1982 divorce from Goldie Hawn.
