Overview
- Russell told PEOPLE at the Madison FYC Panel on Saturday that he and Goldie Hawn built a log-cabin ranch in Old Snowmass, Colorado, about 40 years ago and have lived there since.
- He said the decision was driven by a wish to be near nature and to pursue ranching, and that the property became the place where their blended family was raised.
- Russell rejected the idea that the move was an escape, saying industry warnings that leaving Los Angeles would end his career proved unfounded and that his work continued.
- He described a clear personal preference for Colorado living over Los Angeles and said others later followed similar relocations out of the city.
- The comments, reported across multiple outlets, underscore how the couple prioritized family life and rural routines and show a broader trend of celebrities choosing nonurban homes.
