Kurt Russellhas a strange history with some of America’s most infamous people.
“He always finds himself in some sort of scenario,” Kate Hudson, 44, revealed about the 72-year-old actor onJimmy Kimmel Live!Monday.
“He’s always crossing paths somehow with, uh, killers, like, serial killers,” her brotherOliver Hudson, 47, added as Kate laughed.
“Actually, he was on camera when O.J. Simpson drove into his house,” he continued about the aftermath ofO.J. Simpson’s famous police chase in 1994.
“He was in the driveway. You could see him on, like, KTLA, like, ‘huh?’ my dad. I was like, ‘What is he doing there?’ ” said Oliver.
“He was talking to Shaprio,” Kate explained. “We were at a friend’s house watching the NBA finals, who lived right down the street from O.J. Simpson at the time, and it was the big chase. And … O.J. was on the 405 [freeway] and Kurt all of sudden just went, ‘Oh, he’s going home.’ ”
“Next thing you know, he gets in the car and he leaves,” Kate continued. “And he goes to O.J.’s house … I don’t know why! Just to see what happened, you know. And we’re all like, ‘Where are you going?’ He’s like, ‘I’ll be right back.’ And then he goes with his friend.”
