Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson agree they ‘kiss each other well’, share ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’ secrets

It’s been 20 years since Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson played Ben and Andie on ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’, though the rom-com has seen a resurgence in pop culture lately due to viral TikTok trends that incorporate specific moments in the movie.

In a chat celebrating the 20th anniversary of the film’s release, McConaughey and Hudson, who also starred together in the 2008 film “Fool’s Gold,” talked about kissing.

“As far as our current partners go, we’re a great kisser,” Hudson told the Texas native in reference to her fiancé Danny Fujikawa and McConaughey’s wife, Camila Alves. “I would agree with you,” McConaughey said.

“It was still a really good kiss,” she added. “Absolutely, absolutely,” McConaughey confirmed.

In their chat, the cast also enlightened fans on the stark contrast between showing passion on camera and what’s really going on behind the scenes.

“My whole thing is that we’re always in weird environments [when we kiss in movies]”, Hudson explained. “There was only one time we kissed, it was so nice and sweet, in the bathroom.

“Yeah, everything else wasn’t air-conditioned. Everything else was like, ‘Swim to the top, the sharks almost ate you, you just fell out of a plane at 300 feet,'” McConaughey lamented.

“Walk on water!” Hudson intervened.

“‘Walk on water, before you catch your breath, kiss,'” McConaughey joked.

“When you kiss someone in a movie,” Hudson clarified, “it’s professional; we’re actually trying to create something that evokes something in a certain way that might not be exactly the way you would necessarily do in real life.”

“There’s always the proverbial ‘running together from – from distant points, and in the process, grabbing, locking lips, swinging, spinning and settling on that mark with a sunset behind your face,'” admitted McConaughey on what is expected of actors. “Sounds awesome,” he explained, before offering an alternate reality where he had a bruise on his lip from the staged kiss.

McConaughey recalled director Donald Petrie realizing that he and Hudson could “play together” on camera, allowing for more improvisation.

“A lot of things are what we imagined, that’s what’s in the movie,” Hudson explained. “A lot of those little lines.”
