Ah, how fickle those Hollywood stars can be.
It seems after three years of living in a $3-million, extensively renovated Tudor-style mansion in Shaughnessy, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are on the move again.
The couple, who moved into the tony Vancouver neighbourhood in 2002, are selling their 7,000-square-foot home for $5.4 million.
There’s no word yet on why the Hollywood couple are selling or where they’re headed next — but perhaps the end of their son’s B.C. hockey career has something to do with it.
When Hawn and Russell moved to Hollywood North, it had nothing to do with their acting careers; rather, it was a selfless act by devoted hockey parents.
Their son, Wyatt Russell, then 15, was a goaltender for the Richmond Sockeyes Junior B team, and Russell and Hawn could often be seen at the rink.
After two seasons, Wyatt moved on to play with the Coquitlam Express — now known as the Burnaby Express — last season. But after training camp in September, Wyatt was released from the team.
“He’s a real bright, intelligent kid,” said Burnaby Express coach Rick Lanz. “Just in the end, we made choices based on what we felt was right for the team.”
Wyatt, now 19, then headed to Chicago in the fall to play with the Chicago Steel of the U.S. Hockey (Junior A) League.
But Chicago Steel spokesman R.J. Dusak said after two games, Wyatt was “released.” He doesn’t know if Wyatt is currently playing hockey.
“He was pretty torn up when he left here,” said Dusak.
As for his famous parents, their 84-year-old home is being marketed as “a classic heritage mansion of historical importance located in this most exclusive and desirable area of Vancouver.”
Real-estate agent Malcolm Hasman said he could not comment on who his client is.
The two-storey, five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home with 11 fireplaces boasts a recently remodeled gourmet chef’s kitchen, a conservatory, inlaid oak floors and an extensively rebuilt master bedroom.
The home sits on a 28,000-square-foot lot, 146 feet wide and 200 feet deep.
Since their move to Vancouver three years ago, Hawn and Russell have become fixtures in the city, often seen shopping on South Granville and dining around town.
When Wyatt graduated from West Vancouver’s Collingwood School last year, the entire Russell clan arrived from Los Angeles for the ceremony, including Wyatt’s half-siblings, Kate and Oliver Hudson.
