Kate Hudson claims "it's hard not to fall in love" with Hugh Jackman

Kate told The Hollywood Reporter at the movie's AFI Fest premiere on Sunday (26.10.25): "It's hard not to feel magic with Hugh; he's a magical, sparkly man. He's got this very youthful spirit, and his generosity of spirit is wide and large. So I feel like it's hard not to fall in love with him; he's really wonderful."

The pair sing together in the movie and Hudson explained that the practicing their vocals made the pair's on-screen chemistry better.

Reflecting on their first time singing together, the Almost Famous star said: "We got in there and I think it was like finding the vibe because it's one thing to record for a recording, it's another thing to record for live, which is what we were doing; it was kind of fun to find the imperfections and what we were going to be doing on the day.

"It was a great way to get to know each other for us too because we're in the studio for hours - before we got to go on set and play this very intimate married couple, we got to spend good time together."

Song Sung Blue's writer-director Craig Brewer was glowing in his praise of Hudson and Jackman, 57, as he shared fond memories of their first day singing together.

The 53-year-old filmmaker recalled: "That was magical, it really was. Getting them into the studio for the first time, watching them sing harmony for each other, it was just beautiful.

"The whole crew just said the same thing - they were like, 'This is what we wanted, we just didn't know we wanted it.'

"And it was just infectious; everybody on the set every day would just gather around the screens and just see the chemistry between the two of them."
