After praying, Hawn saw her son's heart rate go up. The actress said she was not surprised at all when the miracle happened because she truly believes God is capable of miracles.
"I don't think there's any question that prayer can work. I'm a very spiritual person," she said. "I'm not a religious person, although I was raised Jewish and I like my tribe, but that was a beautiful thing. It was phenomenal. I just emptied myself. I don't know how to explain it."
Hawn is extremely proud of the man her son Oliver grew up to be. Just like his mom and sister, Kate Hudson, Oliver is also a successful actor and a loving father to three children.
"He's the greatest, most handsome, amazing father, actor, comedian, human, son," Hawn gushed. "I mean, he's such a gift. They're all gifts, all my children."
Speaking of children, Goldie Hawn and her partner Kurt Russell are all praise for the new boyfriend of their daughter Kate Hudson, Danny Fujikawa. She made their relationship official by bringing him to the red carpet premiere of Hawn's new movie, "Snatched."
"He's a nice guy, Danny. Yeah, I like him," Russell told ET. "I always approve. Kate brings good guys."
Hawn also had nice things to say about her daughter's new beau. "He's a great guy. Yeah, he's very special actually," she added.
