Goldie Hawn, 79, has a mini-me besides her daughter Kate Hudson... find out who the cute tween is

Daily Mail​3 days ago
Goldie Hawn has a mini-me out there besides her movie star daughter Kate Hudson.
On Monday evening the 79-year-old Hollywood icon was seen on the red carpet with a younger look-alike when at the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere in New York City.
It was her 12-year-old granddaughter Rio Hudson.
Rio's father is Goldie's son Oliver Hudson and her mother is Erinn Bartlett. Oliver and Erinn have been married for almost 20 years.
The little girl has two siblings: her brothers Bondi, 15, and Wilder, 17.
Goldie looked thrilled to be sharing the spotlight with the young girl as they put their arms around each other and beamed for photographers.
Goldie had on a blue-and-white printed summer dress with her hair down while Rio modeled a yellow floral print dress adding gold necklaces and construction boots as she had an Etienne Aigner purse on her shoulder.
Also at the event was Rio's mom and dad Erinn and Oliver as well as her brother Wilder.
Happy Gilmore 2 star Adam Sandler was also in attendance as were John Cena, Nikki Garcia, Alix Earle and Paige Spiranac.
Goldie has a large family.
In addition to Kate and Oliver, the Private Benjamin actress has son Wyatt Russell with her longtime partner Kurt Russell.
In May Goldie said that she is proud that her three children have followed in her acting footsteps, especially since they did it without her help.
The Oscar winner opened up about her parenting style in a question and answer session after a special screening of 1974's The Sugarland Express at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
The crime drama was the first feature film co-written and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Referring to her kids, Hawn said she wanted to keep their childhoods as normal as possible and had actually blocked daughter Kate Hudson, 46, from being offered a part.
'I didn't call an agent and ask them to be represented. I never did that,' the Private Benjamin star said, per People.
'In fact, they wanted Katie for some show, and she was still in high school. And I didn't let her do it because I didn't want her at that age, I wanted her to live a normal life, finish school, at which point you figure that out, but don't start too soon.'
The plan seems to have worked. Hudson, 46, was 21 when she received an Academy Award nomination for her breakout role in 2000's Almost Famous and has enjoyed a lengthy career in a variety of roles, including How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and Glass Onion.
Hawn's sons Oliver Hudson, 48, and Wyatt Russell, 38, have also taken up acting, with Russell most recently appearing in Thunderbolts.
The First Wives Club star shares Kate and Oliver with ex-husband Bill Hudson, 75, and Wyatt, 38, with her longtime partner Kurt Russell, 74.
Hawn said her kids were her 'legacy,' and that she valued their characters more than their professional achievements, and shies away from giving them advice.
No, they have to cut their own way,' she told the audience. 'They don't want advice from their parents. Who does?... Too much advice. And also they're doing it on their own.'
'What feels good is that they're amazing human beings,' she said.
'They happen to be talented... They're great humans, all of them. And all my grandchildren — now I have eight — and they're great humans.'
Hawn, 79,revealed she once blocked daughter Kate Hudson, 46, from acting when she was a teenager. 'I wanted her to live a normal life, finish school,' she said; Pictured in Los Angeles in November 2022
Hawn hopes her kids surpass her in their careers.
'Who doesn't want to be bigger and better than their parents? That's the whole idea,' she explained.
'The fact that we supersede our parents, that's what we're supposed to do. So we wanted that. Kurt and I wanted that. And so when we look at it, we go, "Oh my God, this is just so awesome."'
The proud grandma recently gave three of her grandchildren parts in her upcoming educational film Brain Buddies.
'I wrote and produced it, and three of my grandkids, Wilder, Bodhi, and Rio, did the voices,' she said of Oliver's kids.
'What I loved is how well they followed the direction that I was giving them, and they were great at intonation and how they delivered the lines and what their characters are and all of it,' she said of the experience.
'So for me, it was a memorable joy that I will have for the rest of my life, and the children will never forget it.'
