Kurt Russell is happy to be a grandfather again. At the premiere of his new Netflix film 'The Christmas Chronicles', Russell opened up about his daughter Kate Hudson's newborn daughter Rani Rose.

Speaking to People, the 67-year-old fondly discussed his grandchild, “She is the sixth grandchild, Kate’s first daughter. Along with the other five now, it is obviously a fantastic addition, and it will be fun just to watch her little eyes looking at the lights on the Christmas tree and taking it all in for the first time." Kate Hudson shares her daughter with her beau Danny Fujikawa. Russell and his longtime partner Goldie Hawn are grandparents to Kate’s daughter Rani plus her sons Bingham Hawn, 7 and Ryder Russell, 14, as well as Oliver’s three children: daughter Rio Laura, 5, plus sons Bodhi Hawn, 8½, and Wilder Brooks, 11.
