"There's no way out of it": Kate Hudson, Brenda Song tease kids' potential careers

Kate Hudson and Brenda Song discuss their children possibly entering entertainment, citing family influence and early signs of performance.

"I don't see a way out of it. - Kate Hudson"

Washington DC, April 21

Actors Kate Hudson and Brenda Song believe their children may eventually step into the world of entertainment, saying it may be hard for them to avoid show business altogether, according to E! News.

Speaking in a joint interview with E! News alongside Running Point co-creator Mindy Kaling, Hudson said, "I don't see a way out of it," when asked if her children might pursue acting careers.

Song echoed similar sentiments, noting early signs in her young children. "There's no way. My kids are only 3 and 5, but the 3-year-old--I'm like, 'Oh no, I can see it!'" she said.

Hudson, who comes from a family deeply rooted in Hollywood--including her mother Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell--said creativity and performance seem to run in their DNA.

"Our family, I feel like we come out either doing a scene or dancing. It's kind of crazy--everybody is performance-oriented," she said, adding that passion is key to surviving in the industry.

"In our family, if you love it, stay. If you don't, get out," Hudson noted, describing show business as "unpredictable and unstable," but worthwhile for those truly committed.

Meanwhile, Kaling shared that her children are fascinated by her work but may not fully understand the reality of being on set. "They think it's glamorous, with endless candy--but they'd probably sit there and get bored," she joked, according to E! News.

Running Point season two begins streaming April 23 on Netflix.

Honestly, as an Indian parent, I can relate a little. If your kid is constantly performing at family gatherings, you wonder! But the pressure in our entertainment industry is next level. Hope these kids choose it only if they truly love it.

"If you love it, stay. If you don't, get out." That's solid advice for any field, not just acting. In India, we often push kids into family businesses or "safe" careers. It's good to see the emphasis on passion, even from such a privileged position.

Mindy Kaling's point is so true! Kids see the glamour, not the long hours and hard work. It's the same everywhere. My nephew visited my office once and thought my IT job was just playing on the computer all day. 😄

With all due respect, it's a bit easy for them to say "there's no way out." Their kids have a golden ticket and connections most aspiring actors in Mumbai or elsewhere can only dream of. The path is very different for someone without that legacy.

Haha, the 3-year-old giving off performer vibes already! Reminds me of my little cousin who won't stop singing and demands an audience. Maybe we have a future playback singer in the family! Best of luck to all their kids, whatever they choose.
