Alright, folks! Let’s take a trip down memory lane with the classic romantic comedy “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” featuring the incredible duo of Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. This flick had everyone wondering if they could rock a backless yellow gown!
Kate Hudson, who played the charming Andie Anderson, was already an Oscar nominee for “Almost Famous” before her role in this film. Since then, she’s remained in the spotlight, starring in hits like “Fool’s Gold,” “Bride Wars,” “Something Borrowed,” “Wish I Was Here,” “Mother’s Day,” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.”

Beyond acting, Hudson launched her clothing brand, Fabletics, and even started her vodka company, King St. Vodka. She’s a published author, sharing her wisdom in “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body” and co-hosting the podcast “Sibling Revelry” with her brother, Oliver. Hudson’s got a beautiful family too, with three kids from different relationships.
Now, let’s talk about the smooth-talking Ben Barry, portrayed by the talented Matthew McConaughey. Since winning Andie’s heart, he’s had major success, bagging an Academy Award for Best Actor in “Dallas Buyers Club.” McConaughey has wowed us in “Magic Mike,” “Mud,” “Interstellar,” and voiced the lovable Buster Moon in the Sing franchise.
Oh, and who can forget those Lincoln commercials where he delivers thought-provoking monologues while cruising in their cars? He’s also been an advocate for gun control after the Uvalde shooting in his hometown. In 2020, McConaughey published his memoir, “Greenlights,” and has another book in the works, a picture book for kids called “Just Because.”
Speaking of supporting characters, let’s give a shout-out to Kathryn Hahn, who played Andie’s bestie, Michelle. She’s nailed her roles in “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” “Step Brothers,” “Revolutionary Road,” and “Wanderlust.” Hahn has transitioned to lead roles, starring in films like “Afternoon Delight” and “Bad Moms.” She’s also slayed the small screen, gracing us with her presence in shows like “I Know This Much Is True” and “WandaVision.” Plus, she’s getting her own spin-off series, “Agatha: Coven of Chaos.”
Next up, we have Adam Goldberg, who played one of Ben’s buddies, Tony. He’s been busy with TV gigs like “Fargo,” “Taken,” and “The Equalizer.” And did you know he’s a talented musician? Goldberg released an album titled “Eros and Omissions” and collaborated on musical arrangements for the film “I Love Your Work.” He’s got a loving family, but they’ve also experienced heartache with the loss of their first son.
Thomas Lennon, who portrayed Thayer, has kept us entertained with more rom-coms, such as “17 Again” and “We’re the Millers,” and had memorable roles on comedy series like “Reno 911!” and “Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.” And there’s more! Lennon’s not just an actor; he’s also a successful comedy screenwriter with credits like “Night at the Museum” and “Balls of Fury.” Plus, he’s penned three young adult novels, and one of them was a New York Times best seller.
Then we have Annie Parisse, who played Jeannie, one of Andie’s friends. She’s made her mark on TV, starring in shows like “Vinyl” and “Friends from College,” and impressing us on stage in Shakespearean productions. Parisse and her husband have two adorable children.
Lastly, we can’t forget Bebe Neuwirth, who portrayed Lana Jong, Andie’s tough boss. You might know her from “Frasier” on TV or her Tony award-winning role in “Chicago” on Broadway. Neuwirth continues to shine in the entertainment world, starring on “Madame Secretary” and making appearances in films like “Tick, Tick…Boom!”
It’s amazing to see how far the cast of “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” has come since the film’s release in 2003. They’ve all had incredible journeys in both their personal and professional lives, making us love them even more as actors and as people.more movies on www.reeltip.com
