Hollywood star Kate Hudson, who appears in Craig Brewer’s musical biopic Song Sung Blue alongside Hugh Jackman, admits to being an “easy crier,” revealing that she likely sheds tears at least once every other day.
“I cry every day ‘cause every time Hugh and I start talking about the movie, we get so emotional,” Hudson shared with people.com about her film centered around the real-life Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning & Thunder.
It doesn’t take much for Hudson to get emotional. She opened up about her sensitivity, stating, “I cry really easy. I’m an easy crier. … I could look at an Instagram and start (crying). Especially (posts) of kids saying something profound will make me cry.” She added, “I think I probably cry at least once every other day. Crying is always a good thing. It really is.”
Hudson spoke fondly of her family, stating her mom Goldie Hawn and brother Oliver Hudson are also in touch with their feelings. “We’re all criers,” she remarked, making a light-hearted note that it might just be her father Kurt Russell and brother Wyatt who aren’t as emotional. “Our whole family, everybody but maybe Pa and Wyatt,” she said. “We’re pretty emotional.”
About the Movie
Song Sung Blue follows the story of Claire, portrayed by Hudson, and Mike Sardinia, played by Jackman, as they form their tribute band, Lightning & Thunder, in 1989 for the “Sweet Caroline” singer. Their professional relationship soon blossoms into romance.
During the 2025 Gotham Awards, the costars expressed their admiration for each other’s work. Hudson praised Jackman’s ability to connect, saying, “His superpower is to connect, whether it’s onstage, whether it’s on set, whether it’s with anyone and everyone. He just wants to connect, and he wants to make sure that everyone’s happy.”
Turning to Jackman, she added, “And at the same time, I learned that one of the greatest gifts that you can give people is that you actually have a desire to connect to them, and I think you give that to everybody.”
Jackman responded by sharing his appreciation for Hudson, saying, “I learned a lot from Kate. I’ve done almost 50 films, but somehow working with Kate — it’s a very difficult thing to describe, but the mixture of being prepared and just being instinctive is a really fine line, and no one does it better than Kate Hudson.” He concluded by affirming, “Being with her … I think I became a better actor.”
