Why Dane Cook hated kissing Kate Hudson
For a time in the 2000s, you couldn't walk past a movie theater without seeing Kate Hudson smiling brightly next to a slice of Hollywood on a poster for a new romantic comedy. It was a golden age for chick flicks and the blonde beauty was king, starring in hits like "Alex and Emma," "Le Divorce," and the iconic "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days."
While the sexiness of rom-coms can range from "cute but tame" to "don't watch with your parents," they all contain a lot of kissing. And Hudson herself has crossed lips with everyone from John Corbett to Luke Wilson to Romain Duris. Hey, Matthew McConaughey even got lucky enough to kiss her twice! So you would think that with all this practice, Hudson would be an excellent kisser, right? Not according to one of her co-stars! Read what they had to say about her kissing skills below.
Why Dane Cook wasn't a fan of kissing Kate Hudson
While kissing Kate Hudson as part of her job would count as a dream day at work for most people, Dane Cook would have preferred to take a sick day. The comedian-turned-actor starred opposite Hudson in the 2008 romantic comedy "My Best Friend's Girl," where he battled for her character's affections with Jason Biggs. Apparently, though, in real life, he would have happily given up his kissing privileges to Biggs.
Appearing on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," Cook participated in the often risque "Plead the Fifth" segment, where celebrities can choose to answer potentially embarrassing questions or choose to practice their constitutional right to silence. Cook, however, was quick to name Hudson when asked who his worst on-screen kiss was: "I think she purposely ate a feast of onions right before the scene," he claimed, according to ABC News.
So, has Hudson addressed the "Good Luck Chuck" actor's claims? Does she have any particular recipe for this feast of onions? She continues reading to find out!
What did Kate Hudson have to say about kissing her co-stars?
Kate Hudson has maintained a dignified silence regarding Dane Cook's complaints about her allegedly hateful breath. Considering his other comments in the interview, such as quoting the "dumbest" thing Jessica Simpson, his other former co-star and ex, said (via The Hollywood Reporter), perhaps we should take his comments about Hudson with a grain of salt. Salt. .
While Hudson hasn't commented on her "Employee of the Month" co-star's claims, she does have some kissing gossip. Speaking to her rom-com partner Gwyneth Paltrow on her Goop podcast (via BuzzFeed), Hudson commented that Matthew McConaughey's kisses in "Fool's Gold" were less passionate than they seemed. "I mean, it's like there's just something going on and there's like snot or wind," she laughed. "... we are like in the ocean, as if the plane crashed, he had snot all over his face." Whether onions were involved remains a mystery.
