How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days And Other Lessons We Learnt From Kate Hudson

HBD oh wise one.

She’s the Californian girl who calls Goldie Hawn mum. She was Almost Famous at 19 and took out a Golden Globe and an Academy Award before she broke 20. She might be our romcom go-to but she’s not a massive fan.

"Well, I don't run out to see them," she told The Guardian.

Still, though, she loves making them.

"Do you know what a blessing it is to make movies that make people happy?"

So, what have we learnt from Hudson?

It’s totally fine to have celebrity crushes
“Famous people are just more interesting,” she told us as Penny Lane in Almost Famous, the original fan girl who showed us what it was like to crush.

Don’t schedule your wedding on the same day as your best friend’s
Seems obvious but we enjoyed her 89-minute lesson on it in Bride Wars. To quote her character: “If I were your wedding, I'd be sleeping with one eye open...”

You can’t help who you fall for
How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, among her other romcom efforts, showed us no matter how much you feel you can control this crazy little thing called love, you’re at the mercy of your heart.

You can trade couples counselling for searching for buried treasure
Way more fun and potentially less expensive. We’re sure there were other lessons, but this is what we got from Fool’s Gold.

Have a happy place
This one's thanks to Almost Famous: “I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriously, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.”

If you don’t like it, just leave
Again, in Almost Famous, she told us that it’s all OK, that when it doesn’t work out you can just move, just change. You can have a completely different names, be a completely different person. “I've made a decision, I'm gonna live in Morocco for one year. I need a new crowd. Do you wanna come?”
