Kurt Russell has been a fixture on television and in films since the early 60's. Although I've seen a lot of his work, I don't think I truly appreciated his sex appeal until re-watching Silkwood (above) in 2011. I'd seen the film on VHS as a kid, I think early in 90's, but I didn't really notice how hot Daddy Russell was until seeing it this time around when I was a little older.
I really didn't know about Wyatt Russell the actor, until watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. When I checked out his IMDB page, I noticed I'd seen Wyatt before, most notably in 2016's Everybody Wants Some. I just hadn't made the connection that he was the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
I do however remember reading about Wyatt back in the early 2000's. That's when his devoted parents moved to Canada with, but mostly for, their then teenaged son. They moved to Vancouver to support Wyatt's hockey career and allow him to play hockey at a high level, while at the same time finishing school.
Wyatt went on to play professionally in Canada, the US and in Europe. Wyatt's hockey career ended in 2010 after a hip injury. Although he'd acted before, (as a baby in parents 1987 comedy Overboard) it was after his injury that he began pursuing acting more seriously.
Although Daddy Russell has been shirtless many times on screen, his biggest exposure came from these paparazzi shots that made the rounds on-line in the early 2000's.
There are rumors that Russell and Sylvester Stallone used body doubles for their 1989 flick Tango & Cash. I get the rumors as except for this flick, Russell has never done on-screen nudity before. I've watched the scene a few times, and I tend to think it's real. In addition to how they walk, there are a few shots where bit of the side of their faces are shown, and if they're body doubles, they did an incredible job casting.
Tango & Cash (1989)
Wyatt has shown a little more skin on screen than his dad, and hopefully they'll be more in his future. Wyatt's career has certainly grown beyond just being the son of actor, with many blockbusters on his resume, including his current on-screen role in Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day.
