She’s played opposite him in two romantic comedies, which more than qualifies her for some serious immersion research, but even so: we’re a little shocked by Kate Hudson‘s spot-on impression of Matthew McConaughey.
McConaughey was the honoree at this year’s 28th American Cinematheque Award Gala Tribute, and his “Fool’s Gold” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” co-star ascended the stage to tell a story from the “Fools Gold” set, letting loose one seriously uncanny impersonation in the process.
Hudson set the scene, saying, “There was also a time when we were shooting ‘Fools Gold’ and we had to get certified…for scuba diving. …And we’re way out on the Great Barrier Reef, and I had just found out that my divorce had been finalized, I was terrified of swimming with sharks, and I was just staring at the water like, ‘What’s happened in my life?’
