Our first guests are two show business legends
who also happen to be one of Hollywood's most loved couples.
Please welcome Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
Hi.
I'm so happy to have you both here, sort of.
How are you?
We're doing good.
We're getting it right.
We can hear you.
We can see you.
I can hear and see you, too.
How many shows have y'all done together as talk shows?
I mean, you're together a lot, but do you
do talk shows together?
We haven't done very many together.
I mean, we were talking about this the other day,
so this is looking like a first, Ellen.
Head's up.
We're in first!
My God-- we can still have firsts after 38 years?
That's a hard thing to do after 38 years-- to have firsts.
You're such an adorable--
when you were here last, Goldie, you were here with Kate,
and y'all were hosting together.
You seemed to have a lot of fun.
Would you do that again?
I would love to do it again, honestly.
Truly.
I would.
It was so much fun.
I thought y'all were-- you were great.
Kurt, you have not been here in 13 years.
Do you remember coming on the show?
I do remember, because a couple of days
before doing the show I ran to Tom Cruise, as I remember.
And we were talking, and he said, what are you doing?
And I said, I'm going to go see Ellen.
And he said, oh, make sure you give her a kiss for me,
and I said I will.
And I did that, I think.
I think I gave you a peck on the cheek or something.
That's sweet.
It felt like Tom Cruise when you did it, so that's why I guess.
Yeah, I was standing in for Tom.
So you're a good kisser.
You're like a Tom Cruise kisser.
Goldie, you can attest to that.
He's a good kisser?
What?
Was he a good kisser?
Is that what you said?
Yes, Kurt.
Kurt's a good kisser.
She's getting me confused with Tom Cruise.
Yes, Tom.
Tom was a great kisser.
OK.
Tom was like great.
Like-- Kurt's good.
Yeah, but Tom-- great.
Yeah.
You two-- so you've been together 37 years.
You fell in love, actually, here on the Warner Brothers Lot
doing Swing Shift, right?
Yep.
But you had met before that, but you
didn't get together until then.
What do you remember about getting together then?
Oh, that's such a good question.
I remember about Kurt--
not only being really sexy and handsome
and all that stuff and fun and whatever-- a good co-star.
I love the way he looked at my children.
It was really something special, and that was--
he's good at that.
He's good with kids.
And I kind of went, oh, my God.
This is amazing.
And I did have a boyfriend at the time, remember?
Yeah.
I didn't know it at the time.
Yeah.
That was hard.
That was hard, because I had to call him and tell him
we were done, and that I found somebody, and I'm so sorry.
And I think you had kind of a girl you were seeing, too.
And I don't know.
But it was really interesting, because I fell in love,
but I also fell in like.
And those are two pretty good deals.
Yeah, that is so true.
You've got to like the person.
You've got to, because like lasts.
That's really, really important.
There's layers of love, but like is-- you've
got to really like the person.
I know.
It's really important.
It's imperative, really.
I remember the first time I saw Goldie when I met her,
I'd been out late, late, late the night before with my dad.
And so I came early so that I could go to sleep,
and the secretary in the office there where the secretary was--
and I said when she's ready, wake me up, and she did.
And I went through the door, and the first thing I saw
was Goldie.
And immediately, I just came out, and I said, wow.
You've got a great figure.
I'd never associated that with Goldie.
And she looked at me and smiled, and I said, yeah,
let's sit down and go to work and talk about it.
And the two of you-- obviously you
thought he had a good figure as well, because there
was a sign on your trailer.
Tell everyone what the sign said on your trailer.
Well--
That was a very cool thing.
That was so great.
It was if this trailer's knocking--
If this trailer's rocking--
If this trailer's rocking, don't bother knocking.
It was a joke.
I bet it was a joke.
We don't have that sign.
I don't know where it is.
I don't know what happened to that sign,
but it's pretty great.
We'll make one for you.
Goldie-- so you just had a big birthday.
You just turned 75, and you're just
dancing around doing dishes, loving life.
You look so great, and you have such great energy.
Thank you, Sweetheart.
Thanks so much.
Yeah, I feel good.
You look good.
I mean, so you do yoga and stuff like that?
What do you do to workout?
You know, I was a dancer.
I started out as a dancer.
I kind of still consider myself a dancer,
and I think that we can't-- dancers just can't let go--
it can't become slovenly.
I'm danced since I'm three years old.
So every day I have to do something,
whether it's walk, hike, lift my weights, do my yoga stretches,
work on the--
Reformer?
Reformer.
That is just the way I am.
I can't-- I stretch all the time.
I'm kinetic, OK?
I can't sit really long and watch three episodes
of a really unbelievable show, which we do-- a lot of people
do that.
They sort of binge watch.
I've got to get up.
So I move.
And I think it's important.
Yeah, it is.
You guys should spend time with me
on Sunday watching football for 12 hours.
No!
On the couch-- I don't move.
My God!
I just can't even believe it.
I can do that on a Sunday.
I can watch football for hours.
I do like to move.
I do like to work out every day, but I do like my Sundays,
and I like football.
Well, football is fun, but God-- doesn't your sciatica
hurt after a while?
Yeah.
You are right.
I'm going to stand up right now.
We're going to go to break I'm just--
I've been sitting too long.
We're going to take a break, and we'll be back after this.
