Oliver Hudson is highlighting the experience of growing up in a renowned family.
The Nashville actor discussed how being raised by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, along with his siblings Kate Hudson, Boston Russell, and Wyatt Russell, has affected his self-esteem.
“Coming from a successful family, I wrestle with comparison. I wrestle with insecurity,” Oliver expressed in a confessional during the season five premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. “My mother’s an icon, so a part of me feels like I have to accomplish something greater for them to be truly proud of me.”
Oliver, father to children Wilder, 18, Bodhi, 15, and Rio, 12, with wife Erinn Bartlett, competed alongside 14 other celebrity recruits on the FOX reality series, which subjects participants to intense challenges inspired by the actual U.S. Special Forces selection process.
While he shared insights into his reasons for joining the show, this is not the first time the Scream Queens actor has reflected on his childhood.
