Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson feel they’re married
Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson jokingly admitted to feeling like a real-life married couple after playing lovers in Song Sung Blue. The 57-year-old actor spoke to Page Six at the 2025 Gotham Awards. “We only shot for 36 days, but it really does feel like we were married [for] a long time,” he quipped.
Agreeing with Jackman, Hudson added, “Yeah, we were married a very long time!” The Almost Famous alum vouched for a great work environment and how “it was so easy for us… the work was fun.”
Elaborating further, she said, “We enjoyed the experience together. It was…safe and trusting, and that made it fun.” She credited Jackman for fostering a healthy and collaborative work atmosphere on set.
The 46-year-old actress expressed her awe for the two artists whose lives the film is based on. However, the Bride Wars star confessed she “had no idea” that the Diamond catalogue “was so extensive” before filming the project.
The Logan star also lavished praise on Mike Sardina and referred to him as “one of the greats of all time, and he’s one of the great songwriters.”
Continuing further, Jackman revealed, “If he never stepped on a stage, he’d be an icon. But he’s actually one of the great performers, and that’s not a given, I don’t think.” The Deadpool & Wolverine actor is hopeful that their film will “actually generate a whole new wave of interest in his music.”
Previously, Hugh Jackman walked the red carpet with his girlfriend, Sutton Foster. The pair have been friends for a long time and reportedly confirmed their relationship earlier this year.
