Ahh, Kate Hudson. She’s an Oscar-nominated actress. She’s a bestselling author. She’s a successful entrepreneur. She’s a beauty trendsetter. She’s an undeniable Hollywood A-lister despite not having done a helluva lot onscreen over the past decade. One of the reasons for this omnipresence is, of course, nepotism. (Who doesn’t love Goldie Hawn.) But a lot has to do with that relentless joie de vivre. When you see Kate Hudson on the cover of a magazine flaunting her “fun, flirty, and fit” figure, you don’t think Christ, what’s she promoting now. You think Oh look there’s Kate Hudson, doing her job! Wow, what a beautiful day. I’d like to adopt a puppy. Or maybe that’s just me.
I’m losing focus, so let me get to the point. Hudson nabbed the cover of October’s Cosmopolitan and, in the interview, answered a series of softball questions about her life. It’s no sit-down with Charlie Rose, but it’s charming.
Some examples:
To me, being healthy means: Staying connected!
My post-sweat-session beauty hacks: Shaving your head. Cuts down on time spent post-sweat.
The best advice [my brother, Oliver Hudson] ever gave me was: Nobody cares! “There’s about 7 plus billion people in the world who don’t give a shit.”
As the questions kept coming, Hudson kept answering. When asked to name a co-star she’d like to live with, she went with Liv Tyler. Love it! When asked to describe the last photo she took with her phone, she said it was “a bee sting on the back of her son’s neck.” Aw, cute parent stuff! Bu when asked to name the laziest thing she’d ever done, she said, “Have a C-Section!”
