Goldie Hawn has been a Hollywood icon for decades and passed her talents down to her children, Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson, and Wyatt Russell.
So, it should come as no surprise that some of her grandchildren may also have a desire to follow in the family footsteps.
Goldie's 12-year-old granddaughter, Rio, whose parents are Oliver and Erinn Bartlett, has caught the acting bug, and Goldie admitted she and her family "don't have a choice" but to accept Rio's show business dreams.
"I don't think we have a choice frankly," the 79-year-old told Access Hollywood with a smile about Rio's aspirations during a joint interview with her and dad Oliver.
"Same with Kate [Hudson]. I didn't have a choice, and I think this one, we don't have a choice."
While she may not have a choice about Rio's career goals, Goldie added: "All I want her to be is happy. I don't care about anything else."

"She wants it," he told the outlet. "She's an amazing dancer. It's in her genes. But we're gonna do plays first. We're gonna go slowly."

Goldie adores her eight grandchildren, who range in age from 18 months to 21, but she has given herself strict rules to ensure her grandmother duties don't overstep her children's parenting.
Goldie and her partner of over 40 years, Kurt Russell, are grandparents to Oliver's kids, Kate's kids, Ryder, 21, Bingham, 14, and Rani Rose, six, plus Wyatt's kids, Buddy, four, and Boone, one.

"I don't think I've changed at all," she said about becoming a grandmother. "I will say that when Ryder was born, Kate's first, I still had a kid at home," she added, referring to her youngest son, Wyatt, now 39.
"My [grandkids] range from 20 to seven months, so I have a big, wide range of them. I will say this, being a go-go grandmother – I love it. It's an unbelievable weave that starts to happen when your children start to have children, but they're the parents."

Being a grandmother, however, has made Goldie pine for the days she had young children at home.

"When a child looks up to you, my Wyatt used to say, 'Mother, may I kiss your royal ring?' you know, because I always had these big rings.
"I mean, they love you so much, and that's the one thing we talk about parenting. Remember that no one will love you like your children do – and that's the most important part of your life."
