Kate Hudson is best known for her comedic timing but the actress is aiming to help her fans find happiness in an unexpected way – with her book on holistic health and self-love
Life imitates art when it comes to Kate Hudson. It’s been 16 years since she bounced onto the big screen and into our hearts with her brilliant turn as the deeply mysterious yet effortlessly disarming Penny Lane in cameron crowe’s Almost Famous. Just like her character in that movie, Kate is a muse of our times. And while she’s lent her enigmatic presence to comedy after comedy, the 37-year old has now set her sights on the grittier side of film making with her latest edge-of your-seat disaster project, Deep water Horizon.
Based on the real-life drama surrounding the BP oil spill in 2010 off the Gulf of Mexico, Kate will be playing wife to Mark Wahlberg’s oil rig engineer at the centre of the film’s plot. Her adopted father, Kurt russell, the longtime partner to mum Goldie Hawn, is also attached to the picture and this will be the first time that the actors will play opposite each other on the silver screen. “We had one moment, not even a scene, just where I hug him,” she laughs, “but we are in the same movie, which is really fun and we will do press conferences together and I am sure we will travel together, which will be awesome”.
Despite the dizzying fame surrounding her parents, Kate and her brothers enjoyed a happy childhood, equipping her today with the skills to juggle her own career while raising sons ryder, 12, from her six-year marriage to black crowes rocker chris robinson, and four-year old bingham from her four-year relationship with Muse singer Matthew bellamy.
Kate is adamant about raising her children in much a similar way and not spoiling them. Her honest, earthy approach to motherhood applies right down to her thoughts on parent teacher conferences.
