Kate Hudson admits she fantasizes of leaving her glitzy Hollywood lifestyle behind. After recently announcing she and husband Chris Robinson are splitting, the daughter of Goldie Hawn admitted she dreams of disappearing from the public eye. Hudson told British magazine Empire, “Sometimes you think, ‘Let’s just cash it all in and go someplace else and pick apples and can them.’ I guess it’s about simplicity, especially when your life is so all over the place with traveling all the time. But I think I could probably do that for about six months, and then I’d be ready to get on the road. … There is a simplicity I would like in my life eventually – to have a place where I can go and just disappear.”
