'I think Amy could be my very troubled daughter!' Goldie Hawn, 71, says she feels like a mum to Snatched co-star Amy Schumer, 35
They are about to appear in action thriller Snatched as a generation-spanning dynamic blonde duo.
And Goldie Hawn, 71, has revealed she considers Amy Schumer, 35, as more than a co-star and even a friend.
Speaking during an appearance on Friday night's The Graham Norton Show, the Hollywood legend said she 'feels maternal' towards the comic - who in turn quipped that she 'would loved to have come out' of the star's age-defying body.

Family: Hollywood legend Goldie Hawn, 71, has revealed she 'feels maternal' towards Snatched co-star Amy Schumer, 35, saying she thinks Amy 'could be my very troubled daughter'
The pair, who spent time drinking together and getting to know each other during filming, ended up becoming close.
And when asked by the chatty talk show host if, because of their significant age gap, the duo felt more like a mother and daughter, Goldie replied: 'I don’t feel the age difference between us but sometimes I do feel maternal towards Amy.
'As I watch her I think she could be my daughter – my very troubled daughter!'
True to form, the comedienne Amy interjected: 'I’d loved to have come out of you!'
Amy then explained how she became so close to the private star, despite having separate trailers on set.

Goldie gushed: 'I don’t feel the age difference between us but sometimes I do feel maternal towards Amy – as I watch her I think she could be my daughter – my very troubled daughter!'
The star, who works to promote positive body image among young women through her comedy and writing, explained: 'We were staying in different places during filming but we still wanted to drink together every night so we would via FaceTime!'
Goldie replied: 'It was the next best thing to being together.'
But although Goldie 'loves' the New York native, Amy appears to have made less of an impression on her long time partner, The Hateful Eight star Kurt Russell, 66.
Drinking buddies: Amy added: 'We were staying in different places during filming but we still wanted to drink together every night so we would via FaceTime!'
Amy said: 'I went to dinner at their house and Kurt answered the door and was so sweet and he gave me the warmest hello, saying, “It’s so great to finally meet you, Goldie loves you and I love you".
'It was so warm and I was like, ‘Thank you Kurt, we sat next to each other at the Golden Globes!’ He had no idea and nobody in this family remembered meeting me!'
The blonde also shot down speculation that fame has led to her receiving plenty of male attention - saying she frequently gets 'friend zoned'.
She's back! Goldie, who took a 14-year acting break before signing up for Snatched, headed across the Atlantic this week to promote the pair's new comedic and action venture
She scoffed: 'No! Believe me, comedy does not lead to sex. For women I don’t think it really helps.
'Men say they love a funny girl but they are lying! They like to hang out with a funny girl but that’s it.'
Goldie, who took a 14-year acting break before signing up for Snatched, headed across the Atlantic this week to promote the pair's new comedic venture.
In the film, Schumer's character's boyfriend dumps her before their exotic vacation.
Active action heroes: The escapade involved a lot of physical work, in which Goldie proved she was flexible beyond her years
And in order to try and overcome the heartbreak, she persuades her ultra-cautious mother to travel with her to paradise, with unexpected results.
The ensuing escapade involves a lot of physical work, in which Goldie proved she was flexible beyond her years.
The youthful star said: 'I move around quite a lot. Action movies are really fun – you don’t know where you’ll end up but you’re having a ball. I am fit – I know I’m not as fit as a flea but I am a runner up to a flea!'
While Amy, who has shed the pounds in recent years, interrupted with: 'Goldie is in really good shape – I was the one in the full body sling!'
Beauty: Goldie, 71, oozed timeless glamour as she left London celebrity haunt The Chiltern Firehouse on Thursday evening after promoting new movie Snatched
During her stay in London, Goldie headed to favourite celebrity haunt The Chiltern Firehouse for a meal.
The star looked to be animated and mid-conversation as she left the upscale eatery on Thursday evening and headed to her car.
Goldie was kitted out in a gorgeous flowing black sequin dress and matching duster coat, and finished her outfit with a pair of strappy heels and a killer scarlet pedicure.

Sporting sexy smoky eyes, the mother of Kate Hudson wore her iconic blonde tresses in shining loose curls, which fell around her shoulders.
Goldie eschewed accessories with her high-necked, sequinned gown, and toted just a simple black clutch.
The triple threat screen presence last appeared on the silver screen in The Banger Sisters in 2002, but filmed Snatched last year.
Interview me, honey: The star explained her 14-year break from acting to her daughter Kate Hudson this week as she quizzed her for a magazine interview
The star finally explained her long time break from acting to her daughter Kate Hudson this week.
The 38-year-old interviewed her own mother in a rare format for Interview's May issue.
And, when asked why she took the extended hiatus, the Oscar winner explained that it was because she wanted to do something different for a while in order to grow as a person.
The star said the move was triggered after she turned 50 and felt her roles in Hollywood movies were no longer going to be the same.
Goldie explained: 'Because I believe that life is about doing. It's about changing. It's about transitioning. I can't imagine, as a human being, not being able to grow.
'When I turned 50, I asked some of my girlfriends, all actresses of the same age, "What are we going to do now?"
'I wanted to go live somewhere for a while, learn archaeology, or take part in healing the world on some level. I wanted to dig deep and say, "Who am I now? What do I have to offer? What do I have to learn?'''
Amy had previously said how thrilled she was to be acting alongside Hollywood royalty.
She couldn't help but gush about Goldie at last month's CinemaCon event in Las Vegas:
'Goldie Hawn is up here,' she said. 'She is such an inspiration to me, I love the way you live. I hope I can be you, well, double of you. Do I look like a fat girl going to temple?'
And the feeling appears to be mutual. Goldie echoed the maternal comments she made to Graham Norton, replying: 'I saw your face and you said I really want you to do this movie and I said I would love to work with you.
'I hadn't worked for 14 years, so after coming back, you were my girl and you were my baby,' she concluded.
Thrilled: Amy, 35, is clearly thrilled to be acting alongside Hollywood royalty in Snatched, and gushed about her co-star in their promotional appearances
