    Kate Hudson fell in "love" with Kathryn Hahn during a chaotic film audition

    The 45-year-old actress was speaking to Kathryn Hahn, 51, as the two reunited to reflect on their shared experience filming the 2003 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, in which they played best friends


    Describing the start of their friendship in an Actors on Actors interview for Variety, Kate told Kathryn: "You had this bag - I don't even know what was in it; it was like you were traveling - and I immediately was like, 'I love this woman so much'"

    The film marked Kathryn's first movie role and helped launch her screen career. At the time, Kate had recently starred in Almost Famous, directed by Cameron Crowe, for which she received an Academy Award nomination.

    "It was my first movie," Kathryn said. "To have you as the lead of it was so grounding. I don't know what I imagined it would be like, but I certainly didn't imagine it to feel just so freaking fun and loose and supported."

    The pair went on to recall Kathryn's audition, which made a strong impression on them both.

    "You came in and you were just like, 'Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I couldn't find the parking,'" Kate said.

    Kathryn added: "I couldn't find a parking spot. I was so sweaty. I couldn't believe I was meeting you. I ran in, in a ruckus, and you were so welcoming."

    Both actresses are now showcasing their comedic range on television.

    Kathryn is fronting Agatha All Along, a Disney+ series based on her WandaVision character Agatha Harkness.

    She also stars in The Studio, an Apple TV+ comedy in which she plays an eccentric marketing ex ecutive.

    Kate and Kathryn also discussed Kate using tarot cards on her birthday under a full moon, with Kathryn connecting the moment to receiving news about Agatha All Along.

    "You were saying, 'It's time to let things go. There's something you're holding on to,'" Kathryn said. "I keep thinking about it: It was exactly what was supposed to be said at that moment."

    Kate also spoke candidly about her decision to pursue music.

    "In Covid, it really was like, God, if I die, I feel like I've left things on the table; I haven't achieved my full potential as an artist," she said.

    Kate added: "And if I don't have the courage to do something that I love so much, what are my kids going to think?"
