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?"

Worst in a decade: Disney's controversial Snow White flops
Disney's latest attempt at bring an old classic to life has been labelled a failure with the live-action Snow White flopping in the box office. The live-action remake of he 1937 classic was released March 20 this year, and looked set up to be a hit with a massive budget of $416 million. However that didn't prove to be the case, as the large scale production and investment in marketing all proved to fall flat, with the film making $316m at the box office. labelled the film 'officially a flop', with being the biggest live-action remake bomb for Disney since Pete's Dragon in 2016, which made $143.7m USD ($221.9m AUD). The film wasn't exactly set up to succeed, as the blockbuster was marred by controversy before it was released. Actor Peter Dinklage, known for his role in Game of Thrones, was openly critical of Disney for considering to portray the titular dwarfs. 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f****g backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f**k are you doing, man?,' Dinklage, who has dwarfism, said on Marc Maron's podcast in 2022. This prompted Disney to take a 'different approach', with the seven dwarfs instead being CGI — a change that copped both criticism and praise. While lead actress Rachel Zegler, playing the role of Snow White, put many off seeing the film all together. Critics took issue with Zegler as the casting choice, with the fictional character's defining feature being her 'skin as white as snow', while the actress is of Latina decent. Her antics on social media caused an even bigger stir, being openly vocal about her political views which rubbed many the wrong way. She also took a stab at US President Donald Trump on social media in the lead up to the film's release. On top of this, fans of the original story took issues with the narrative changes, with Zegler poking fun at the original story line back in 2022. 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' The film has now hit streaming services where it will likely see more success after bombing at the box office.

Snow White becomes Disney's worst-performing live-action remake in nearly 10 years
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. Disney's Snow White reboot is leaving a legacy it certainly doesn't want, becoming the company's worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years. The 2025 remake of the original 1937 movie opened March 21 in the US and Canada, and has struggled, earning barely $200 million (A$308.5 million) worldwide. The film's page on calls the movie 'officially a flop,' and says its $205.5 million (A$317 million) earnings are 'miles behind its massive $410 million (A$632 million) total cost,' including marketing, production, and other items. The site calls the film's disappointing performance 'a financial blow which few expected to be this severe, especially with the losses already estimated at over $115 million (A$117 million), per Collider.' Pete's Dragon, a 2016 Disney remake of the 1977 film, came away with $143.7 million (A$221 million), $61.8 million (A$95.3 million) less than Snow White. The Snow White remake was not without its controversies, which perhaps contributed to the film's poor reception. Rachel Zegler stars as the titular character. Picture: Disney Gal Gadot plays the Evil Queen. Picture: Disney Over three years before the film's release, one A-list actor with dwarfism had Walt Disney Studios reframe how it portrayed the classic seven dwarfs characters. Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage called out the studio for even considering taking a stab at portraying magical dwarfs in the modern era. Speaking on comedian Marc Maron's podcast in 2022, Dinklage stated, 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f***ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f*** are you doing, man?' Disney then addressed the complaint and said the company would take a 'different approach' to the seven dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of Snow White. 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo in 2022. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' Zegler sparked controversy with her comments on the original film and also anti-Israel tweets. Picture: Valerie Macon/AFP Due to the controversy over the dwarfs and Zegler's comments on the original movie, Disney announced in late 2023 it would delay the release for Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs by a full year. It was originally slated to be released in March 2024. Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. In an August 2024 X post talking about the official trailer for Snow White, the actress wrote, 'And always remember, free Palestine.' She also lashed out at people who voted for President Donald Trump, saying in an Instagram post, 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,' adding, 'F*** Donald Trump.' She later apologised, saying in part that 'Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding.' Disney also scaled back the Hollywood premiere event for Snow White. Variety reported 'the studio won't be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does,' and that the dozens of media outlets customarily present wouldn't be. Instead, coverage consisted of house crew members and photographers. Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for comment on Snow White's box office numbers, but did not immediately receive a response.

Arnold Schwarzenegger wants family movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt
Arnold Schwarzenegger is keen to make a movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt. The 77-year-old actor is open to the idea of a collaboration with his 31-year-old son and son-in-law - who married his daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 - but insisted they wouldn't do so for the sake of it as the script would have to be good enough. He told E! News of the possibility: "It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it. "But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.' " The Fubar star called on filmmakers to make the project happen. He said: "You don't have to talk about it, just do it." Arnold - who, as well as Katherine, 35, and Patrick, 31, also has Christina, 33, and Christopher, 27, with ex-wife Maria Shriver and Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildren Baena - is also open to the idea of following in his son's footsteps and starring in The White Lotus. Asked if he'd be interested in a role in the anthology series, he said: "Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it, so we will see." The former Governor of California is delighted to witness Patrick's success because his son has always been interested in acting. He said: "Patrick always had a love for show business. He has spent a lot of time on the set with me when he was a kid. He was doing his homework in my movie trailer, he was watching me shooting on stage. I think he got the desire right then and there." Meanwhile, the veteran action star is excited about the new season of Fubar, even if he finds certain physical scenes "very, very tough" these days. He teased: "The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action, and also really funny moments. "The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun." While Arnold is proud of Patrick, he recently admitted he was shocked when his son stripped naked in The White Lotus. During a joint interview for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series, he told his son: "I couldn't believe [it]. "I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. "What is going on here? This is crazy. "Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.' "But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely."
