This is how Amy Schumer won over Goldie Hawn

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — If you saw Goldie Hawn on a plane, you’d probably pitch her, too.

That’s how Amy Schumer broached the beloved Oscar winner about costarring in her new comedy Snatched (in theatres Friday), a farce that sends a buttoned-up mother and loose-cannon daughter to Colombia — where they are promptly kidnapped.

“I was like, ‘Let me just go aggressively plant the seed,’ ” Schumer, 35 recalls.

Hawn, 71, has a slightly different first impression of that airport meetcute: “To tell you the truth, I don’t even remember the moment, honestly.” She shrugs. “People come up to you a lot.”

Things changed several months later, when Hawn bumped into Schumer at an awards show. “That’s when she really said, ‘OK, this is happening I really want you, I’m writing this with you in mind,’ ” says Hawn, who immediately texted her agent to get on it.

Schumer has had major Hollywood momentum since the $110-million success of 2015’s Trainwreck, which she wrote and starred in. A worldwide standup comedy tour followed, as did HBO and Netflix specials (the former directed by Chris Rock).

Hawn, meanwhile, had been MIA. “It’s not as if I didn’t want to do anything,” Hawn says. “But, you know, I want to do something good. Otherwise, don’t do it. It’s kind of the way it goes for me.”

And so last summer, they packed their bags and took off for Hawaii (a leafy stand-in for Colombia).

“I have a real interest in women and confidence and having people feel better,” Schumer says. “That’s another thing that really connects us — Goldie is humble about it, but knows she can make people feel joy and laugh and feel things. That’s what I want, too.”
