Matthew McConaughey may thank Kate Hudson for his casting in the romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which the two of them made together in 2003.
According to The Daily Mail, Kate Hudson, 43, revealed to the audience that she advocated for Matthew McConaughey, 53, to be cast in the role of her co-star in the film during a BAFTA Life in Pictures event held in London on Monday. Hudson told the audience that she hoped McConaughey would accept the role.
“We had an energy together, I wanted to play with him,” Hudson said at the event as she recalled that she and studio executives on the movie “kept hitting our heads against the wall” during the casting process. Hudson was referring to the fact that the two groups had a difficult time finding the right actors for the roles.
According to The Daily Mail, Kate Hudson, who is well-versed in the romantic comedy genre, remarked during the event, “For rom-coms you need that guy to have chemistry with.” Hudson’s comments were made in reference to the fact that she is “such a supporter for actors in our field.”
The actress said that she was granted “permission on everything” for the film that was being produced by Paramount Pictures, which led her to pick Matthew McConaughey as her first option to portray Ben Barry opposite her character, Andie Anderson, in the film.
When asked about her experience working with McConaughey, Hudson remarked, “We both have a competitive mentality, and we’re both incredibly athletic.” Hudson later co-starred with McConaughey in the film Fool’s Gold, which was released in 2008. “We like being competitive with one another, and I really admire Matthew’s level of dedication in whatever he does. He has a laser-like focus.”
According to the publication, she continued about the actor by saying, “What you believe he is, is, is.”
