10 THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT
BIG-SCREEN sweetheart Kate Hudson racked up plenty of rom-coms while building her Hollywood résumé. But this month, she’s switching gears as part of the ensemble cast of suspects in the comedic murder mystery Glass Onion. The standalone sequel to the 2019 hit Knives Out sees Kate, 43, playing former model turned fashion designer Birdie Jay opposite Daniel Craig’s savvy sleuth Benoit Blanc. Here are ten things you don’t know about Goldie Hawn’s only daughter.
1 She got her Golden Globe–winning role as starry-eyed Almost Famous groupie Penny Lane after Canadian actress Sarah Polley gave up the part.
2 Her favorite onscreen kiss was with the late Heath Ledger in 2002’s The Four Feathers. She gushes, “He was just so beautiful and sweet and gentle.”
3 Kate first met fiancé Danny Fujikawa — father of her four-yearold girl, Rani Rose — when she was 23, but they didn’t have their first date for another 13 years.
4 She accidentally walloped co-star Anne Hathaway in the face while filming 2009’s Bride Wars. “I really clocked her,” she sheepishly admits.
5 Hudson considers older brother Oliver her best friend, and together they host the podcast Sibling Revelry.
6 The fitness fanatic’s workout mantra is: “Break a sweat every day.”
7 Breakfast is one of her favorite meals. “I love soft-boiled eggs with turkey bacon or an egg white scramble with spinach and sausage,” she reveals.
8 Her go-to drink is a martini, extra dirty.
9 Kate regularly meditates to destress and calls the practice “helpful and lifechanging.”
10 She has an outline of a tiny star tattooed on her left foot, near her big toe.
