At 42, the 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' actress wants to tell her own stories. She is the mother of three children with musicians Chris Robinson, Matt Bellamy and Danny Fujikawa.
In the 2000s, romantic comedy had a queen: Kate Hudson. Since rising to fame with Almost Famous, the actress has released one or two films a year, including the hit How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which grossed nearly $180 million worldwide. But she stopped starring in this type of film about five years ago and she barely shines on the big screen. The reason: if she ever returns to the genre that made her famous, she won't be under the direction of any man.
Starting at the beginning, Hudson was born on April 19, 1979, and grew up in Hollywood. Daughter of Oscar winner Goldie Hawn, another actress known, among many other roles, for her work in romantic comedies, and Bill Hudson, musician and comedian, her parents divorced when she was only 18 months old. So she was raised by Hawn and her partner, actor Kurt Russell, together since 1983. In fact, Hudson has no relationship with her father and she considers Russell her father.
So, when she was only 11 years old, Ella Hudson began acting in the theater and shortly after turning 18, she decided to leave her studies to dedicate herself completely to acting. Blue Desert, 200 Cigarettes or Doctor T and the Women were the titles of her first films, rising to fame with Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous (2000), a role that earned her a Golden Globe and a nomination. to the Oscar.
Then came commercial success with romantic comedies, the aforementioned How to lose a guy in 10 days, followed by Le divorce, Alex and Emma, Mama by force, You, me and now... Dupree or Como locos... a for gold, A bride for two or War of brides. But with the turn of the decade, and the terrible reviews that some of her films received from her, Hudson tried to broaden her horizons towards independent cinema with The Devil Under the Skin or television with the musical series Glee (2012). -2013).
Not in vain, the actress had already participated in the musical film Nine (2009) and, in fact, her last film work is the Sia Music film (2021). In addition, Hudson has signed several lucrative fashion deals, published two books, created a vodka, King St. Vodka, and launched a podcast with her brother, actor Oliver Hudson.
"I'm sure I'll go back to doing romantic comedies. But I don't like the way people try to convince me of how they should be," Hudson told Women's Health, a magazine to which she explained that while making these films "I begged and begged "to the men who directed them to listen to her, but she never got around to it. "I'll act when I want, but I want to tell stories," she added as she assured that she is working on a project as a producer for Netflix.
Personally, Hudson has three children, each with a different father and all of them musicians. On December 31, 2000, at the age of 21, Hudson married Chris Robinson, leader of the Black Crowes group. The couple had a son, Ryder (2004), and in 2006 they separated, finalizing the divorce in 2007.
In early 2010, Hudson began dating Matt Bellamy, lead singer of Muse. Shortly before her son Bingham was born (2011), the couple got engaged, but they never made it to the altar and in December 2014 they announced the end of their relationship.
Two years later, in late 2016, Hudson began a relationship with Danny Fujikawa, also a musician and actor. With him the actress had her daughter Rani (2018) and they are currently still together.
