No matter how many times US Weekly insists that “Stars – They’re Just Like Us!”, most of us can’t help but be a bit skeptical. I mean, when’s the last time anyone you know had diamond dust brushed over their face to prevent wrinkles á la Britney Spears? Or currently employs a P.U.H. (Personal Umbrella Handler) to protect them from the strenuous duty that is holding an umbrella when it rains, like P.Diddy? More often than not, it seems like stars are absolutely nothing like us at all. However, Kate Hudson has always seemed to be the exception to this rule. Although her parents are Hollywood royalty, to Hudson, Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell are just her parents – Go-Go and Go-Gi, respectively. (Hudson considers Russell her father and does not have a relationship with biological father Bill Hudson). As we spoke to Hudson about everything from her four-month old son, Ryder Russell Robinson, to her husband, musician Chris Robinson, to her new film, Raising Helen, directed by Gary Marshall, she sprinkles the conversation with “you knows” and infectious laughter, proving herself perhaps the most easy-going of the talented young twenty-something actors working today.

Unlike most stars, Hudson actually gained a considerable amount of weight– wagging more than a few tongues and receiving some snarky headlines in magazines, well, like Us Weekly. However, Hudson is so relaxed, she’s even willing to reveal the exact amount of weight that she gained – all 60 pounds of it. “It was great. I kinda figured, why do I need to watch my weigh when I’m pregnant? I’m gonna eat whatever the hell I wanna eat!” she exclaims. One would naturally wonder what the pressure was like to lose it all, considering Hollywood unfortunately isn’t known for being too accepting of women of all sizes and shapes. Again, Hudson talks about it with casual aplomb. “I had to shoot this movie I’m doing now…in three months. I’m okay being big, it felt like everybody else was more worried about it than I was. I just knew that when I started shooting I didn’t want to get two months into it and then all of a sudden drop my weigh drastically.” After working out with a personal trainer for two-to-three hours a day for two and a half months, Hudson is back to her old weight – almost. “I still got a bit to go,” she says, but insists she was featured in magazines regardless of her weight. “I had a baby, there’s nothing to be ashamed of,” she says somewhat defiantly. Hudson’s personal and professional life seem to be running parallel, as her new film, Raising ... |
