The Hollywood actor was overcome with emotion after recently watching a home video of his kids when his daughter Rio was just a baby, and shared the sweet footage on Instagram alongside a relatable – and emotional – post.

Goldie Hawn's son wrote: "Watching these old videos make me so happy and so sick all at the same time...

"I end up crying for so many reasons and vow never to watch them again only to end up down the rabbit hole of nostalgia where I double up on antidepressants and fall asleep with the nondescript expression of joyful pain…"

Fans were quick to comment on the post relating to Oliver's feelings, with one writing: "Been on that road trip," while another wrote: "Family is everything, embrace. Every step I take has love and pain in it." A third added: "Oh I know what you mean so well."

Goldie is incredibly close to her grandchildren and was present at all of their births. Oliver's only daughter was even named Rio Laura in tribute to the First Wives Club star's mother, Laura.

The actress loves nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren, and previously told Australian Women's Weekly: "A good family is the answer to happiness. I look at our kids and grandchildren and there's nothing in the world that could make me as proud as I am of all of them."

"Being a grandmother is amazing, I love it. It brings incredible joy. Family is so important," she added.  

What's more, Goldie and Kurt are thought to have welcomed their seventh grandchild as son Wyatt and his wife Meredith Hager were expecting their first child, who was due on Christmas Day, although the baby's arrival hasn't been officially announced.
