Kate Hudson has starred in more than her fair share of romantic comedies, but she admitted that it’s becoming more and more difficult to find male co-stars.
The 44-year-old actress and daughter of screen legend Goldie Hawn has starred in hit rom-coms like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, Bride Wars and Fool’s Gold.
She appeared on Thursday’s episode of The View and admited that it’s becoming difficult to convince male movie stars to be in rom-coms.
‘It’s hard to get male movie stars to make rom-coms. That’s also a big part of the equation, to have that event,’ she said.
‘And so, as long as we can get more Marvel guys to, you know, come to a rom-com, I think that’s a big part of the formula too,’ she admitted.

When asked why wouldn’t Marvel movie stars appear in rom-coms, Hudson reiterated her point that, ‘I think it’s about the writing.’
‘And how we’re investing in telling the story, and the writing and the directors,’ she continued.
‘If you look at the classic rom-coms or the movies that last forever – because they do last forever, they’re the ones that last forever and people go back and back – they had the best writers,’ Hudson said.
‘So I think it’s more about how the studios are investing in the talent,’ Hudson said, joking that she’s going to, ‘do a MasterClass on rom-coms.’
When asked why How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days still resonates two decades later, Hudson admitted the film was ‘well-written,’ with a script from Kristen Buckley, Brian Regan and Burr Steers, based on Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long’s book.
‘I think there’s this sort of misconception that a rom-com is supposed to have a certain formula… there is a formula that works, but it also does start with the writing,’ she said.
Other rom-coms Hudson has starred in include My Best Friend’s Girl, Something Borrowed and Mother’s Day.
She also recently opened up about her burgeoning music career during an episode of The Today Show.

The star, who sang in the movie Nine and the TV show Glee, said she performed a mini-concert in Colorado of cover songs during her annual holiday vacation with her family.
‘It was very vulnerable singing in front of like a very small, I’d never sang in such an intimate space and it was very small place and it was very unforgiving and really good for me,’ she told Savannah Guthrie on Today.
The Almost Famous star continued: ‘I’ve always loved to sing and its something I’m gonna just put out there.
‘I always said like with music when people would ask me if I’m ever going to do it, for me, if I’m gonna do it, I’m really gonna do it, I’m going to really commit to the process. There’s nothing half-a**ed about my relationship with music.’
