Jonathan Ross grills Goldie Hawn

Friday, 7 March 2008

Tonight on BBC One's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, Hollywood's Goldie Hawn talks about the secrets of a sexy relationship.

Goldie has been with her partner Kurt Russell for 25 years. She says: "Flirting is healthy, tension is good. I want a girl to want him [Kurt]. I like it.

"It's up to Kurt how he handles it – we argue, but it shows I still care.

"I dress up before I go to bed. I feel nice, and Kurt likes it. I don outfits for him, it's fun.

"I like the fact I'm not married. I wake up fresh every day. I could walk out at any moment but we choose to be together.

"If sex goes out of your relationship you either have to be friends or break up. Sex is really important."

She comments on the media: "These young girls in the media now, they're hounded, hunted, they're prisoners and they're frightened. This world is all tabloid."

Hollywood's obsession with looks

And on Hollywood's obsession with looks: "It's scary, it's awful. Vanity is a big problem. It's a pressure that children have. A healthy amount of vanity is good, but this sense of wanting more than you have is bad."

Goldie says of her own children: "When my children left I had to sell the house because I couldn't take it.

"The first day after the kids were gone Kurt was asleep in front of the TV, I
thought this isn't the life I want. Now Kate is living in the house I bought when I was pregnant with her."

And what makes a good parent?: "You must be tough with children. Fathers are the most important, your daughters will never love anyone else as much as you."

Jonathan also meets Michelle Ryan, chats and cooks with Jean Christophe Novelli and, for one week only, Four Poofs and a Piano make way for legendary Sixties group The Temptations who provide music throughout the show.

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross is on BBC ONE @ 10.35pm on Friday 7 March 2008
