Kate Hudson Says She Is Open to a ‘How to Lose a Guy’ Sequel ArticlePure

Kate Hudson is considering revisiting a movie from her past. 

The actress, 45, revealed that she and her former costar Matthew McConaughey, 54, are open to making a sequel to their 2003 romantic comedy How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days while appearing on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday, July 17. 

When asked about the potential sequel by host Andy Cohen, Hudson explained, “I think they’re always thinking about that.”

She continued to say that she would consider the movie if there was a solid script attached. 

“All that matters would be the script and if Matthew and I were into the script,” the Glass Onion star said. “I think we’re both totally open, it has just never happened.”

The hit movie – which featured Hudson in an iconic yellow dress –  is based on Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long’s book with the same name and follows Hudson and McConaughey as magazine writer Andie Anderso and advertising executive Benjamin Barry, respectively. 

In the movie, their paths cross for a tricky romance when Andie begins to write a piece about how to get a man to leave you in 10 days and Benjamin places a bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in the same time period.

“I mean, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is teed up, you know, teed up for one that you could easily do a sequel. And that was a really good one. As far as romantic comedies go, that was a really good one,” the Oscar winner said.

“And it lasts!” McConaughey added. “People still love that one. I enjoyed that one quite a bit.”

In a 2023 interview with Vanity Fair in honor of the movie’s 20-year anniversary, Hudson addressed the topic of a sequel, saying, “People always ask us [about a sequel] but there’s nothing in the works.”

The actress, who released her debut album Glorious earlier this year, added, “I love working with Matthew, so I’m sure at some point we’ll work together again.”

She looked into her fictional character’s future, saying, “My hope is that [Andie and Ben] are happy, they’ve got a bunch of kids, they got married, and they’re still playing Bullshit with his parents. If there was a sequel, I’m sure there would be some conflict in there somewhere.”
