Kurt Russell has been in the movie industry almost his entire life. He began his career as a Disney actor – and, according to him, his name was the last thing Walt Disney said before he passed away.
Today, Kurt Russell has entered himself into film history, and his beautiful partnership with actress Goldie Hawn has pretty much become a example of how Hollywood relationships should work. The two have been together for more than 40 years – and they have no plans to change anything.

In recent years, Kurt Russell has pretty much kept to himself, going through surgery and not doing that many films. But now, the legendary actor is back – and pictures of him in his new role certainly have fans gushing!
Born on March 17, 1951, Kurt Russell was not exactly destined for a job in the acting business – in fact, based on his father’s passions, his career could easily have gone down an entirely different path altogether! Russell’s father, Bing Russell, may have technically been an actor, it was the incredible sport of baseball that was his true passion.
Kurt grew up in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks, and when recalling early memories, Kurt Russell remembers how baseball was an essential part of growing up.
“He loved passing on his knowledge of the game,” he recalled.
New pictures of Kurt Russell for latest movie have fans excited – he stars with his son
At 72 years of age, Kurt Russell does not have to work anymore. However, just like many feel about their jobs, it’s too much fun to quit.
Now, Kurt is set to star in the upcoming Godzilla movie Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – and the latest pictures of him tell us that he is doing very, very well.Meanwhile, the film will be very special for the Hawn/Russell family. Kurt and Goldie’s son, Wyatt, is also set to star in the movie – as the same character as his father. Wyatt will portray the character when young and Kurt when older.
“It just felt like, ‘What an amazing idea,’ and it’s so rare. I mean, two actors who are extraordinary on their own, two actors who bear an uncanny resemblance to each other because they’re father and son playing the same part, just felt like an idea that we had to run wholeheartedly at, and they were excited to do it,” director Matt Shakman said.
“Also, it’s such a unique fit because Kurt Russell stars in all the movies I love, and since I was a kid, I’ve been watching him on screen,” he added. “The idea of Kurt Russell plus Godzilla just feels absolutely, 100% right. He occupies the same awesome space. Then the fact that Wyatt could work so beautifully as the young version of that same character, it just was serendipity, you know, things that we couldn’t have planned that the fates made possible for us.”
When news of the casting of Kurt and his son was out, fans were quickly revealing their excitement on social media.
“That’s actually excellent casting,” one user wrote on Twitter.
“ohhhhh i did not know this, I will be seated,” another user gushed.
A third added, “Probably awesome to act alongside your own father.”
“Very interesting! Can’t wait to see this,” a fourth said.
