Oliver Hudson is a three-time Hollywood legacy but he did not use his parents to get his first job in Hollywood. He could have walked into any studio and said, I am Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Bill Hudson’s son and Kate Hudson’s brother to get almost any job he wanted, but he didn’t do that. Instead he told Steve Harvey today that he started out on the bottom as a production assistant.
A PA does the grunt work, and he has a funny story about his time on the job. He was working craft services and his job was to take home these huge coffee coolers and clean them. The next day he gets into his car to go to work and it won’t start. The 19-year-old has no choice but to take his mother’s bright red Ferrari convertible to work with these huge brown rectangles in the back seat. Once he got on the Warner Bros lot, he was mortified that his secret was out.
While that was then, tonight at 9:30p he is starring in Splitting Up Together on ABC. Lena (Jenna Fischer) and Martin (Hudson) had the perfect marriage when they started out, but now not so much. Having three kids can do that to a marriage. Even though the kids ruined their love for each other, they still want their lives to be as normal as possible.
How to do that? Bird nesting. That means one week he will live in the house and she will live in the guest one in the back, then the next week they will switch. She is anal and he is laid back, so that is going to cause problems between them as they are splitting up together.
While they have their problems, the show does not. It is a sweet modern family show with a lot of laughs.
