Fans Have Questions for Kate Hudson and Mom Goldie Hawn About Divisive Family Photoshoot

A recent family photoshoot that Goldie Hawn participated in for a new ad with her daughter, Kate Hudson, and son, Oliver Hudson, divided fans after the images were posted online.

The Academy Award-winning actress shared a video from the photoshoot on Instagram on Thursday, Nov. 7.

Kate, 45, and Oliver, 48, also shared video footage and behind-the-scenes snapshots from the photoshoot on their own Instagram pages on Thursday. In the images, the actors and their families were decked out in various winter holiday-themed pajamas as they engaged in pre-holiday celebrations by enjoying heaps of food and time together as a family.

The timing of the posts prompted questions from fans, many of whom were still coming to terms with the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election earlier in the week.

“Our country just took a major hit and this is what you post? Love you Goldie but this is off 😩🙏💔,” one fan wrote as several others urged the Cactus Flower star to “read the room.”

“Obnoxious and out of touch,” another fan said of the video. “Bad timing.”

“Very sad to see this😢,” one Instagram user said as another dubbed the posts “Tone deaf 🙄.”

Many fans also wondered why actor Kurt Russell, Hawn’s partner of more than four decades, wasn’t included in the ad.

“I don't see Kurt,” one fan observed as another wondered, “Where’s Kurt?”

"Kurt Russel wanted no part in this😂,” one Instagram user speculated.

Despite the negativity of some commenters, others stayed positive as they praised the “Beautiful family” and expressed appreciation for new photos of Hawn spending time with her grandchildren, with one fan writing, “Aww Goldie and her grand girls is the sweetest!✨.”

Several fans also got a kick out of seeing Oliver mugging in some of the behind-the-scenes snapshots. One photo in particular that showed Oliver staring intently at the camera as his family appeared joyous in the foreground tickled many Instagram users.

“You deserve an Oscar,” one fan told Oliver as they applauded his “Blue Steel” expression, while another agreed it looked as though The Cleaning Lady actor was flashing "the smolder from Zoolander lol 🔥.”

“Oliver in the background-nailed it,” another fan wrote.
