Oliver Hudson revealed the reason behind refusing Kurt Russell’s offer to adopt him and his sister Kate Hudson.

During the recent episode of Oliver and Kate’s Sibling Revelry podcast which was hosted by Miley Cyrus’ mother Tish Cyrus-Purcell and sister Brandi Cyrus, they talked about the life of adopted kids.

“I only say this because my dad — he was around for a little bit, then he bailed. We have a good relationship now, but it took a long, long, long, long time, but we’re there,” Oliver said pointing at his real father Billy Hudson.

“Kurt came into my life when I was six, five or six and essentially he raised me. I’m the man I am today because of him, right?” Oliver noted. “There was a moment when he asked us, myself and Kate, if we wanted to be adopted, and we said no.”

“Not that we were — you know, very aware of probably what it even f****** meant. We were six and 12 or however, I don’t remember the age, but we just said, ‘Well, we don’t need it. The love is right there,’ ” he added.

“At the same time, when you don’t have your biological [parent] around, it’s hard to replace that, no matter what,” Oliver confessed. “The love was there with Kurt, there’s no doubt that he is my dad. I call him Pa. But there was always — not something missing, but there’s that other side.”

It is pertinent to mention that Kate and Hudson’s mom Goldie Hawn was married to Bill Hudson for six years between 1976 to 1982.

Goldie has been dating Kurt since 1983 but they have never gotten married despite their decades-old romance.
