Goldie Hawn has no plans to rush back in front of the camera, and she has been remarkably clear-eyed about why.

The 80-year-old spoke to PEOPLE in an interview published on 29 April, explaining that after a career full of beloved performances, she simply hasn’t found anything worthy of bringing her back. 

“It’s about the content,” she said. 

“Acting for acting’s sake, taking things… I’ve read a lot of shows, a lot of scripts that I didn’t like or I didn’t think I’d fit. The one thing about acting is that I’ve done it, and I had a great career, and I honor that.”

Hawn last appeared on screen in The Christmas Chronicles 2 in 2020, alongside her longtime partner Kurt Russell. 

The decision to step back began long before that, however, she traced it to her mid-fifties. 

“I think ultimately every life has to have its sections. Doing the same thing over and over again for your whole life is not as interesting to me. And I decided at probably 55 or something, ‘What are you going to do for this next part of your life?’ And I knew that there was more out there to learn and to do.”

The right script could change everything. 

“I would love to get a material that could actually be like, ‘Oh my God, I want this so bad. This is so funny. She’s so crazy. She’s so interesting.’ But I haven’t come across it.” 

She also floated the idea of a project with her famously talented family, children Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell, with characteristic openness. 

“It’s such a great idea because we have so much talent. Never say never, because that could happen at any time.”

Hawn and Russell have also stepped back from Hollywood geographically, spending much of their time at their home in Colorado.

Russell has described waking up each morning looking at the mountain, riding horses and sitting by the living-room fireplace as the rhythm of their life there, a far cry from the pace of the film industry they both helped define.

Kris Jenner has left the door open on marriage to her longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble, and even floated the idea of Khloé Kardashian serving as flower girl.

The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch, 70, appeared on the Wednesday, 29 April, episode of Khloé’s podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, where her daughter asked whether there were any “wedding bells” on the horizon.

Jenner’s initial response was swift. 

“No,” she said, before quickly softening it. “You never know.” 

When Khloé told her mother she didn’t need to get married again, Kris wasn’t entirely ready to close the subject. 

“I’m full of surprises,” she quipped, adding that if she and Gamble did decide to marry, Khloé could “be a flower girl.”

Jenner and Gamble, 45, have been together for over a decade, meeting in Ibiza in August 2014 and going public the following spring. 

The relationship has weathered a steady stream of split rumours, most recently in September 2025 when reports claimed things had been “hanging by a thread.” 

Us Weekly confirmed at the time that the couple were still very much together. 

On the podcast, Kris said the rumours no longer get to her the way they once might have. 

“Not anymore. I mean, did it bother me at the time? I think it bothered, maybe him more than it bothered me. I don’t know. You’d have to ask Corey.”

It is not the first time marriage has come up in conversation. 

In a 2024 episode of The Kardashians, Kris told her friend Kathy Hilton: “You guys can totally be bridesmaids when I get married. So, maybe when I’m 70!” She has now reached that milestone birthday, which may or may not be relevant.

Jenner was previously married to the late Robert Kardashian, with whom she shares Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob, and to Caitlyn Jenner, with whom she shares Kendall and Kylie.

Christopher Nolan has revealed that his upcoming epic The Odyssey will be shorter than Oppenheimer, offering a small reassurance to audiences ahead of what is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films of the decade.

Speaking to the Associated Press, the Oscar-winning filmmaker confirmed the news simply: “It’s an epic film, as the subject matter demands. But it is shorter.” 

Oppenheimer ran to 180 minutes, so The Odyssey will clock in at under three hours, though the exact runtime has yet to be announced.

The scale of the project is extraordinary by any measure. 

Nolan has previously revealed to Empire magazine that he shot over two million feet of film across 91 days of production. 

The Odyssey also marks the first Hollywood feature to be shot entirely on Imax cameras, a technical challenge that required a newly developed casing called a “blimp” to reduce the cameras’ noise enough to capture dialogue-driven scenes on large-format film.

Matt Damon headlines the film as Odysseus, reuniting with Nolan after Interstellar and Oppenheimer. 

Tom Holland plays his son Telemachus, with a cast that also includes Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.

Nolan spoke candidly about the weight of adapting one of the most celebrated stories in human history. 

“There’s a massive amount of pressure. Anyone taking on The Odyssey is taking on the hopes and dreams of people for epic movies everywhere and that comes with a huge responsibility.” 

He drew on lessons learned from The Dark Knight trilogy when thinking about how to approach beloved source material. 

“What people want from a movie about a beloved story, a beloved set of characters, is they want a strong and sincere interpretation. They want to know that a filmmaker has gone to the mat for it.”

He also explained why he felt the story had never truly been done justice on screen. 

“What I saw is that all of this great mythological cinematic work that I had grown up with, Ray Harryhausen movies and other things, I’d never seen that done with the sort of weight and credibility that an A-budget and a big Hollywood, Imax production could do.”

The Odyssey opens in cinemas on 17 July from Universal Pictures.
