Kate Hudson fell in ‘love' with Kathryn Hahn during a chaotic film audition
Kate Hudson fell in 'love' with Kathryn Hahn during a chaotic film audition.
The 45-year-old actress was speaking to Kathryn Hahn, 51, as the two reunited to reflect on their shared experience filming the 2003 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, in which they played best friends.
Describing the start of their friendship in an Actors on Actors interview for Variety, Kate told Kathryn: "You had this bag – I don't even know what was in it; it was like you were traveling – and I immediately was like, 'I love this woman so much'"
The film marked Kathryn's first movie role and helped launch her screen career. At the time, Kate had recently starred in Almost Famous, directed by Cameron Crowe, for which she received an Academy Award nomination.
"It was my first movie," Kathryn said. "To have you as the lead of it was so grounding. I don't know what I imagined it would be like, but I certainly didn't imagine it to feel just so freaking fun and loose and supported."
The pair went on to recall Kathryn's audition, which made a strong impression on them both.
"You came in and you were just like, 'Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I couldn't find the parking,'" Kate said.
Kathryn added: "I couldn't find a parking spot. I was so sweaty. I couldn't believe I was meeting you. I ran in, in a ruckus, and you were so welcoming."
Both actresses are now showcasing their comedic range on television.
Kathryn is fronting Agatha All Along, a Disney+ series based on her WandaVision character Agatha Harkness.
She also stars in The Studio, an Apple TV+ comedy in which she plays an eccentric marketing executive.
Kate and Kathryn also discussed Kate using tarot cards on her birthday under a full moon, with Kathryn connecting the moment to receiving news about Agatha All Along.
"You were saying, 'It's time to let things go. There's something you're holding on to,'" Kathryn said. "I keep thinking about it: It was exactly what was supposed to be said at that moment."
Kate also spoke candidly about her decision to pursue music.
"In COVID, it really was like, God, if I die, I feel like I've left things on the table; I haven't achieved my full potential as an artist," she said.
Kate added: "And if I don't have the courage to do something that I love so much, what are my kids going to think?"

Central Coast enters race for Sydney's next film studio with $230m plan
A 30-hectare site south of Gosford has emerged as a potential new home for Sydney's screen and television sector, one week after the NSW government put $100 million on the table to begin the hunt for the city's second film studio. Along with inner city Redfern, Oran Park and Silverwater in the west, it brings to four the number of locations vying to house much-needed new sound stages and screen production facilities for Australia's gateway screen capital. The proposed Central Coast site lies one kilometre off the M1 Motorway, on cleared land currently used as an equine facility. It sits beside Glenworth Valley, where Disney, lessee of nine studios at Moore Park, filmed outdoor scenes for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Central Coast Studios Pty Ltd directors Heath Bonnefin and Craig Giles lodged initial plans for their complex with the NSW Department of Planning in February and are seeking state-significant development status. As a working screenwriter and assistant director, Giles said he had seen first-hand the demand for purpose-built production infrastructure in NSW, particularly within Greater Sydney. Loading 'This facility has the potential to draw major international productions back to NSW – productions that are already choosing Queensland or Victoria because the infrastructure and incentives are better,' he said. 'This precinct is about fixing that gap and unlocking a new era for the state's screen sector.' A call-out for expressions of interest in the government's $100 million investment is expected to occur in coming months, as the location, demand and optimal spread of screen facilities are further refined.

Karol G unhappy with critics
Karol G is unhappy with criticism of her song 'Latina Forever'. The 34-year-old singer's ode to Latin women was slammed for sexualising women with the lyrics 't*** and a**' but Karol thinks it is unfair that she gets blasted for singing raunchy songs. She told Variety: 'I feel like the bigger the project gets, the harder the people get with me. I think there are different opinions on how I should and shouldn't be acting at this point in my career and it gets so confusing sometimes that it becomes hard to handle. 'It's difficult, because the video is incredible but I knew having us in bikinis with me singing about t*** and a** … I just knew it was going to be a talking point. But the way I see it, I am just singing of my realities. I don't want to change myself to have to please anyone, either. I have emotional songs on this record that are soul-touching, and then I have my fun and sometimes raunchy songs - Latinas are everything. Why can't we just be everything?' Meanwhile, Karol is one of the few Latin artists – including Luis Miguel, Bad Bunny and Shakira – who have embarked on a global stadium tour and she admitted she still hasn't processed how monumental it is. She said: 'I haven't spoken with [Bad Bunny], but I would love the opportunity to get to talk to him about the experience, because it is such a massive accomplishment that I haven't fully digested. When we first sat down to route the tour, everyone kept telling me, 'Don't you think it's too much too fast?' I'm so proud that we did it. I remember thinking 'My God, Shakira is doing this. I'm doing this?! I get to do what she does on this scale?!' It's insane.'
