Hudson Gave Up Soccer For The Sake Of Her Legs

ALMOST FAMOUS star [Kate Hudson](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/kate-hudson) ditched her plans to embark on a career as a soccer player, after realising the sport was making her legs too muscular.

The Hollywood actress, daughter of [Goldie Hawn](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/goldie-hawn), spent a lot of time on the soccer field as a teen, with the encouragement of her mother's longterm partner [Kurt Russell](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/kurt-russell).

But Hudson admits she eventually let go of her sporting dreams after seeing the effect it was having on her body.

She says, "I grew up with all boys so I always had to compete against something. I was quite athletic and soccer I was actually really good at. I got some letters for some (colleges).

"I looked at my legs one day and they were actually getting quite large and I went, 'Am I really gonna be a soccer player?' I love it, I still to this day wish I could be in a competitive sport because it's a part of my nature. But I just said, 'No, I wanna act.'"
