Kate Hudson is giving fans a rare glimpse into a lesser-discussed aspect of acting: the scents of her co-stars. On the July 11 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Hudson shared some intriguing details about her time filming the 2008 movie “Fool’s Gold” with Matthew McConaughey. Busting a popular rumor, she revealed that she didn’t “force” McConaughey to wear deodorant on set. In fact, neither she nor McConaughey used deodorant. Hudson jokingly added, “I could smell him from a mile away ’cause we got so close.” This candid moment was just one of many times Hudson has been open about her life this year.
Hudson's Candid Moments
Earlier this year, Hudson has been notably transparent about her personal and professional experiences. For instance, in May, she took a deep dive into her past relationship with Chris Robinson, the lead singer of The Black Crowes. Appearing on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Hudson reflected on her whirlwind marriage to Robinson, which began when she was just 21 and he was 34. Although their marriage lasted from 2000 to 2007, the couple remains close, especially since they share a son, Ryder. Hudson expressed no regrets about their time together, saying, “I didn’t question it for a second. We were so connected. Chris taught me so much about love and connection. It was just a wonderfully passionate relationship.”
Family Matters and Public Scrutiny
April was another month of revelations for Hudson. Fed up with the online trolls targeting her brother, Oliver Hudson, she took to TikTok to address the negative backlash he faced over comments about childhood trauma related to their mother, actress Goldie Hawn. “I was like, ‘Who cares?’” Hudson admitted. “And then I really started thinking about it and I’m like, ‘Well, people do care, actually.’ It’s not nice when people take something out of context or they look at something you’re doing and they get all negative about it.”
Later in the month, Hudson opened up to “CBS Sunday Morning” about her relationship with her father, musician Bill Hudson. The couple divorced when she and her brother were very young, and they were primarily raised by Hawn and her long-time partner, Kurt Russell. Hudson revealed that she doesn’t have a close relationship with Bill Hudson, stating, “I don’t really have a relationship with him.”
Behind the Scenes: The Unsung Aspects of Acting
Hudson’s insight into the less glamorous side of Hollywood is both refreshing and intriguing. The story of her on-set experiences with McConaughey, and her honest take on her past relationships, offer a glimpse into the personal and sometimes overlooked aspects of a celebrity’s life. From the candid confession about not using deodorant to the heartfelt reflections on past relationships and family dynamics, Hudson’s openness invites fans to see a more human side of her.
These revelations not only showcase Hudson’s authenticity but also remind us that celebrities, despite their high-profile lives, deal with ordinary and often challenging personal issues.
