Oliver Hudson has had a lengthy career in show business and is related to some of the film industry's finest - Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson - but he has more in common with Us than you might think. Oliver, 49, sat down with Us Weekly's editor-in-chief Dan Wakeford for the inaugural Just Like Us video series and proved that even Hollywood's most notable names can be open and down-to-earth. The revelations stemmed from his fears of Hollywood, the growing relationship with his biological dad, Bill Hudson, and details about his very active sex life with his wife, Erinn Bartlett. While Oliver's swoon-worthy looks have stood the test of time, he has no ego, no attitude - and no issue getting candid, even detailing the trauma he's experienced through anxiety and debilitating panic attacks. "I think I can help a lot of people by telling my story," he told Us - but more on that in a second. Magnolia Discovery Ventures On the heels of his iconic appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 earlier this year, Oliver is currently hosting Magnolia Network and Food Network's Gingerbread Land: The Biggest Little Holiday Competition (airs Mondays at 9 p.m.). As someone whose family is "very much into Christmas," becoming the host of a holiday-themed show was a no-brainer for Oliver. "I watch baking shows," he said. "It was the perfect fit." Hosting is "something that I had wanted to do for a while," Oliver shared, telling Us that he "manifested" this sweet role. While the gingerbread houses looked good enough to eat, Oliver did not actually sample any of the "architectural masterpieces" on the show. (Behind-the-scenes scoop alert!) "It is artwork. It's not necessarily, like, let me crack that off and eat it," he explained, noting that the show was surprisingly emotional and even left him "weepy" on three separate occasions because the contestants "care so much" about their craft. Hollywood's Most Memorable Celebrity Siblings Over the Years As he heads into 2026, Oliver is gearing up for his milestone 50th birthday. But he has no expectations for the next decade of his life. He's just hoping to "stop giving a s***." Hey, he's only human ... or Just Like Us.

While everyone pitches in, Hawn refuses to let anyone else do the dishes. "She's so funny. I'm like, 'Mom, let me do it. Let me take care of it,'" Oliver told Us. "The idea is, if you cook, then you don't clean." Arturo Holmes/WireImage Christmas Eve, specifically, is "big" for the entire family. "That's when we do the tree, lights, ornaments. Christmas music is on, and kids are back from skiing. It's got that log-cabin, old-school vibe," he explained. "Light the fire and do The Night Before Christmas." They choose which member of the family will read the book on that night and "sometimes it goes way off the rails" - depending on how much the narrator had to drink. "Whoever's gonna play Santa has to run out into the backyard, [and] once '[Happy] Christmas to all, and to all a good night' is read, we're done. Boom," Oliver explained. "The kids go to this bay window, and you hear [sleigh] bells. He's running as a silhouette, and the kids are freaking out, screaming. That has been in our family for 40 years. It's just fun to watch this whole thing continue [and] become generational." The Moment Oliver Hudson Decided to Move Out of His Parents' House If you ask Oliver, he was late to the acting game. Getting started in his 20s posed a different set of challenges, but he has never resented his family - or the doors opened by their fame. "Yes, you get the foot in the door, but those expectations, they're raised for you," Oliver explained. "The lights might be a little brighter when you walk into a room, just to see how this person does, given the fact that they've come from this place. I never thought about that." Oliver left college at 19 and took a job as a PA for two years before deciding to try his hand in writing and directing. The only reason Oliver tried acting was "because my whole family did it." Growing Up Hudson: What Kate and Oliver Have Said About Their Childhood "I took the opportunity but didn't get after the opportunity," Oliver shared. "What I did was half-assed, because I knew that when I didn't get the job, I could use the excuse - consciously or subconsciously - of 'I didn't give it 100 percent.' I just didn't like the rejection." In order to change things up for his career, Oliver decided to move out of his parents' house. "I just said, 'I got to get out of here.' I have to put some pressure on myself. So I got an apartment with a friend. I could barely afford it because I
