Kurt Russell happy to be alive ahead of turning 75
Published in Entertainment News
Kurt Russell is happy to still be alive ahead of his milestone birthday.
The actor is excited to turn 75 on March 17, but he kept tight-lipped on his plans for the big day.
Asked how he will celebrate his birthday, Kurt - who has dated 80-year-old actress Goldie Hawn since 1983 - told Entertainment Tonight: "I don't know, a beer.
"We had a big Christmas, and our birthdays just come and go, but I'm looking forward to it. It's a big number, and I'm happy to be here, feeling healthy."
The Monarch: Legacy of Monsters star - who has never married Goldie because the pair believe their love means more than signing a piece of paper - then credited being in "good health" for his longevity.
Elsewhere, Goldie - who met Kurt in 1966 on the set of Disney's The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band - says "good sex" is the secret behind their decades-long relationship.
In September 2024, The First Wives Club actress - who was previously married to actor-and-dancer Gus Trikonis from 1969 until 1976, as well as actor-and-musician Bill Hudson from 1976 until 1982 - told E! News: "You have to have good sex.
"Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer.
"It's not just because of the act, it's because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates."
Goldie - who has son, actor Wyatt Russell, 39, with Kurt - noted that intimacy was not enough on its own to keep a romance alive.
The star - who is also stepmom to Boston Russell, 46, whom Kurt has with his 74-year-old ex-wife, former actress Season Hubley - added: "You have to be nice to each other upon occasion."
But, ultimately, Goldie - who has daughter, actress Kate Hudson, 46, and son, actor Oliver Hudson, 49, from her relationship with Bill - credits freedom for her long relationship with Kurt.
During an appearance on The Dan Buettner Podcast last month, she said: "I really feel this way, and I always have. And even if we did get married, it wouldn't make any difference because it's 42 years now.
"If I'm a bird and you leave the cage door open, I may never fly out. But if you close that door, for my freedom and my independence, I would probably take, like, all my feathers off.
"It's a freedom of self, it's a freedom of basically, not melding into somebody else."
