Hudson was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Academy Award-winning actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, famous as one of the 1970s variety act "The Hudson Brothers". Hudson's parents divorced in 1980; he and his sister, actress Kate Hudson, were raised in Colorado by her mother and her mother's long-time boyfriend, actor Kurt Russell.[1] Actress Cindy Williams was his stepmother from 1982 to 2000.

Hudson may be best remembered for starring in the TV series My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star and The Mountain (2004-2005), and supporting roles in the films New Best Friend (2002) and The Out-of-Towners (1999). Hudson also played opposite Katie Holmes as her love interest "Eddie Doling" in sixteen episodes of Dawson's Creek. Hudson played in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event but experienced terrible luck, when he went broke on the very first hand, losing to 2003 runner-up Sam Farha (who had a better Full House than Hudson).
