Kate Hudson: Really think I'm going to be a great old person

Kate Hudson, 47, shares her positive outlook on aging on The Tonight Show, saying she loves getting older and feels she'll be a "great old person."

"I really think I'm going to be a great old person, because I like it, because it gets better, so you don't have to care as much. - Kate Hudson"

Los Angeles, April 25

Hollywood star Kate Hudson, who turned 47 on April 19, said she is embracing the ageing process and feels she is going to be a "great old person."

Appearing on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 51-year-old host wished Hudson a "happy belated birthday", which prompted her reply: "Thank you! I'm so old."

Fallon reacted: "Oh, please!", before the Song Sung Blue actress clarified: "No, I love it. I really think I'm going to be a great old person, because I like it, because it gets better, so you don't have to care as much."

The actress, the daughter of Oscar-winning star Goldie Hawn and 76-year-old musician-and-actor Bill Hudson, celebrated her 47th birthday with a "crawfish boil", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Kate continued: "And I had a beignet cake. I got my crawfish in because, yeah, I had to do that every crawfish season. Have you ever had a boil? It's so fun, it's the best.

"They just boil it up, and there's corn, there's sausage, there's potatoes, and we just throw it on in and listen to music. It was the best, and the kids love it, they just run around."

Kate has son, Ryder with her 59-year-old ex-husband Chris Robinson, Bingham, 14, with her 47-year-old former fiance, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, and Rani, seven, with her 39-year-old fiance, musician Danny Fujikawa.

In October 2025, she credited her mother Hawn for her fearless attitude to life.

Kate told Variety: "Thank God I had a mom who said, 'Make your own way.' When you become successful in the arts - and what I mean by 'successful' is when you're making other people a lot of money - people really like to put you in a box. But nobody becomes an artist to be put in a cage.

"As you get older, you realise you're the only one who makes the decision not to allow yourself to be in that cage. It means having to make fearless and risk-taking decisions that are really, really hard to do when you have a status quo that's safe."

Her crawfish boil tradition sounds so wholesome! Reminds me of our family get-togethers during festivals like Pongal where we just cook and eat together. Age is just a number when you have that energy.

Respect for her mindset. Too many people in our country act like life ends at 30. She's 47 and thriving with three kids, not afraid to be herself. Bollywood should take notes on embracing natural ageing.

I appreciate her honesty about getting older. Unlike many celebrities who go under the knife and pretend they've discovered the fountain of youth. Her mom sounds like a legend.

This is refreshing to read. But I wish she'd also talk about the pressure women face to look young in Hollywood. In India too, actresses over 35 rarely get lead roles unless they look 'fair and young'. Hope more stars speak up.

"Nobody becomes an artist to be put in a cage" — that hit home! As a 42-year-old freelance writer from Mumbai, I can relate. Society tries to box you in with age, but you have to break free. More power to her!
