So, here’s the deal: Hudson plays Andie Anderson, a magazine columnist, who decides to write an article about how to make a guy dump you in just ten days. And guess who becomes her unwitting guinea pig? McConaughey’s character, Ben Barry, an advertising executive who makes a bet that he can make any woman fall in love with him in the same timeframe.
The movie was a huge success, making over $177 million at the box office. It was a different time for making movies, according to Hudson. She said they were part of the last group of actors to experience the old-school Hollywood process. They spent four months together filming How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and even six months shooting Fool’s Gold in 2008. Nowadays, you don’t really see movies like that unless they’re big Marvel blockbusters.
In an interview, Hudson even talked about the possibility of a sequel. She imagined what Andie and Ben’s characters would be like now, after all those years. She figured they would have gotten married and had kids, but maybe they’re not so happy together. Andie was ambitious and wanted to go places, so she might be running something important by now.
And hey, the cast of the movie is still tight-knit. Hudson and her co-star Kathryn Hahn, who played Andie’s best friend Michelle, have remained close friends. They even worked together again in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery in 2022. Hahn always admired Hudson and thought she was a normal and cool person. They’ve got that special bond that lasts.
