Kurt Russell has revealed the real reason why he left Los Angeles for Colorado.
Kurt Russell has revealed the full story of his move from Los Angeles to Colorado.
Speaking to PEOPLE at the Madison FYC panel in Los Angeles on May 30, Russell discussed his move from Los Angeles to Colorado. He and Goldie Hawn own a log cabin there. The 75-year-old actor noted that the home allows him to focus on the everyday things he values most.
«"I want to see what I want to do, what I want to be a part of—everything Colorado has to offer. Ultimately, I'd like to farm," Russell explained.
«"When Goldie and I got together a couple of years later, we built a ranch there together, where our family grew up. That was 40 years ago," he added.
However, Russell emphasized that he wasn't trying to "escape" Los Angeles when he decided to leave. He noted that such a move was unusual for his colleagues in the entertainment industry at the time.
Russell says he's seen more and more people leaving Los Angeles since he moved there.
«"I don't like Los Angeles, it just doesn't suit my lifestyle preferences," the Breakup actor clarified.
Russell also told PEOPLE that he and Hawn moved in part so their children could experience Colorado life with them.
«"It's completely different from living in the city. They grew up surrounded by nature. It has its challenges, but it also has great advantages. I just feel more comfortable there," he shared.
Their blended family includes Boston Russell, Kurt Russell's son with ex-wife Season Hubley; Oliver and Kate Hudson from Goldie Hawn's previous marriage to Bill Hudson; and Wyatt Russell, the couple's youngest son.
