Kurt Russell ran to O.J. Simpson’s home as 1994 Bronco police chase played out

Kurt Russell was in on the action.

During a Monday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Russell’s famous stepchildren — Kate, 44, and Oliver Hudson, 47 — told stories about their stepdad always finding himself in “some sort of scenario.” 

Russell, 72, was watching the NBA Finals at a friend’s house the night of the infamous 1994 police chase with O.J. Simpson in his white Bronco.

“There still has never been anything like that in the last 25 years,” now-retired Orange County Sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Sewell told The Post in 2019.

“The circus that it became, it was one time only … While it was happening … I didn’t know about it being broadcast across the nation,” he said.

“I didn’t know we had interrupted Game 5 of the NBA playoffs.”

Their friend happened to live near the athlete.

“It was the big chase. And Kurt … O.J. was on the 405 [freeway] and Kurt all of sudden just went, ‘Oh, he’s going home,’” Kate revealed.

Kate and Oliver’s mom, Goldie Hawn, had them with singer Bill Hudson, but Hawn, 78, has been in a longtime relationship with Russell since 1983, and he raised Kate and Oliver. Russell and Hawn also are parents of son Wyatt Russell, 37.

“Next thing you know, he gets in the car and he leaves and he goes to O.J.’s house,” Kate said.

“I don’t know why! Just to see what happened, you know? And we’re all like, ‘Where are you going?’ He’s like, ‘I’ll be right back.’ And then he goes with his friend.”

She said that the NBA Finals were interrupted by the news that night, “And we saw our dad on television behind the caution tape!”

Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman in 1995 (and he came out with a book called “If I Did It” in 2007). The trial was fictionalized in the 2016 anthology series “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” in which Simpson was played by Cuba Gooding Jr.

“He’s always crossing paths, somehow, with, uh, killers. Like serial killers,” Oliver said about Kurt. He backed up Kate’s story.

“He was on camera when O.J. Simpson drove into his house. He was in the driveway. You could see him on KTLA, like, ‘Huh?’ My dad. I was like, ‘What is he doing there?’”

The siblings said that Russell also once “beat up” one of Charles Manson’s followers, and that he crossed paths with serial killer Ted Bundy when he escaped from Pitkin County Courthouse in 1977. 

“This is a crazy story. Kurt was camping, he had his plate of food, went to get a beer or something, comes back and his plate of food is gone,” Oliver said. 

“Ted Bundy then gets caught and recounts how he survived after escaping and he said he found a guy camping in the woods with his friends, he leaves the thing and he go grabs and eats his food.”

Kate said that she “might not believe either of those stories,” but “I’m into it. They’re interesting.”
