How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is one of the most fun rom-coms because of the relationships Kate Hudson’s character, Andie, holds. Outside of her love interest, Matthew McConaughey’s Benjamin, is her ride or die BFF, Kathryn Hahn’s Michelle. How Hahn landed the 2003 rom-com is pure chaotic gold. Apparently, the MCU star’s audition was completely memorable and involved picking up a call while reading with Hudson.
With Hudson and Hahn both having 2025 TV guide hits in Running Point (which received a quick renewal) and The Studio (also greenlit for S2), they reunited to chat for Variety’s Actors on Actors. To start, the old pals quickly noted how long it had been since they’d seen each other, which led them to how they met on the early aughts flick. Hudson asked if Hahn remembered her highly memorable first audition for HTLAGITD, and the 51-year-old recounted the mess that led to her arriving late and overheated. According to Hahn:
I couldn’t find the parking spot. I was so sweaty. I couldn’t believe I was meeting you…I ran in, in a ruckus, and you were again, like so welcoming.
