BTN News: In 2003, the romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey, became an unexpected hit. This movie, loved by audiences for its humor and chemistry between the leads, quickly turned into a classic that fans watched repeatedly over the years. The possibility of a sequel has long been a topic of interest for fans and the stars alike. In a recent interview, Kate Hudson hinted at the potential for a second installment, sparking excitement among the movie’s loyal followers.
During an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Hudson discussed the idea of a sequel, stating, “I think the studios are always thinking about that.” She emphasized that the key factor would be the script and whether she and McConaughey would agree on it. “I think both of us are completely open to it, but it’s just something that never came together,” she added.
Last year, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Hudson and McConaughey did a live Instagram session where they reminisced about their favorite on-set moments and shared their thoughts on the movie’s legacy. During this chat, they also answered fans’ questions, with Hudson expressing disbelief that two decades had passed. McConaughey shared that he consistently received positive feedback about the film, noting, “I’ve watched it with people and seen how much they enjoy it.”
The pair also discussed their playful banter and on-screen chemistry. Hudson humorously recounted being frequently asked about what it was like to kiss McConaughey. “It always happened so quickly and in strange places. We only had more time to kiss during the bathroom scene,” she recalled. McConaughey, equally amused, added, “Yes, everywhere else, there wasn’t much of a mood,” referring to the various adventurous scenes they filmed together.
Their conversation also touched on the iconic movie poster, where they stood back-to-back, and the memorable yellow dress Hudson wore in the film. They speculated on what their characters, Andie and Ben, might be doing now. Hudson imagined them still together with children, while McConaughey quipped, “They’re still on their honeymoon… And she’s still in the yellow dress.”
McConaughey’s Unique Hygiene Habits
In another revelation, Hudson confirmed a long-standing rumor about McConaughey’s hygiene habits. A fan asked if it was true that she had asked him to use deodorant while filming “Fool’s Gold.” Hudson candidly replied, “No, it’s not true. He doesn’t use deodorant, and by the way, neither do I.” She admitted that she could smell him from a distance during filming, despite her attempt to downplay the issue by including herself.
McConaughey had previously addressed this in an interview with Playboy, where he mentioned Hudson offering him a natural salt stone deodorant, which he never used. He shared, “All the women in my life, including my mom, have said, ‘Your natural scent smells first like a man, and second, like you.’” In another interview with People in 2005, McConaughey mentioned that he hadn’t used deodorant in 20 years because “a man should smell like a man,” though he assured he maintains good hygiene by showering and brushing his teeth multiple times a day.
