Hudson reminisced about the filming experience, saying that it was a different era for making movies.

In a recent interview, Hudson shared her idea for a potential sequel to “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” She wondered what their characters would be like if they were still together after all this time. She imagined that Andie would be ambitious and successful, running something important.
Despite the possibility of a sequel, Hudson has remained close with her co-stars. She reunited with Kathryn Hahn, who played her best friend in the movie, for the 2022 film “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” Hahn expressed her admiration for Hudson, describing her as normal, cool, and the best. She was amazed to work with her again and witness her incredible performance in “Glass Onion.”
