Goldie Hawn hasn’t appeared in a movie since 2020’s The Christmas Chronicles, but the Oscar winner hasn’t decided to retire on her own. “I really want to do some unusual acting,” Hawn told People magazine. The problem is that the scripts offered to her are not up to par, and Hawn is no longer interested in acting just for acting’s sake.
“It’s all about the content,” Horn said. “It has to do with the content. Acting for acting’s sake, accepting things…I read a lot of dramas, I read a lot of scripts that I didn’t like or didn’t think were right for me. One thing about acting is that I did it. I’ve had a great career and I respect that.”
“I’d love to have material where I’m actually like, ‘Oh my god, I really want this. This is so funny. She’s so crazy. She’s so interesting.’ But I’ve never come across that,” she added. “If someone could come up with a really cool and interesting script…I think that would be great.”
Hawn has no official plans to return to acting at this time. She broached the idea of co-starring with her daughter, two-time Oscar nominee Kate Hudson, saying, “I would love to do that. And we both thought about it a lot.”
After breaking out on television in the NBC sketch comedy series “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” and the CBS sitcom “Good Morning World,” Hawn became a star, winning an Oscar for the 1969 film “Cactus Flower.” Her other major films include “Sugarland Express,” “Shampoo,” “The First Wives Club,” “Overboard,” and “Private Benjamin,” for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Hawn took a 15-year hiatus from acting between the 2002 comedy-drama “Banger Sisters,” co-starring Susan Sarandon, and the 2017 R-rated comedy “Snatched,” co-starring Amy Schumer. She co-starred with her husband Kurt Russell in the Netflix film The Christmas Chronicles.
