On the Podcast: Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson Talk Song Sung Blue and Meeting Neil Diamond

“I realized that everyone is living an extraordinary life,” Jackman told Chloe and Vogue’s deputy editor, Taylor Antrim, when reflecting on taking the role of Mike.

Kate, meanwhile—a 2026 Golden Globe nominee for her performance in the film—described first being pushed in front of a microphone by her mother, Goldie Hawn, to perform “That’s What Friends Are For” at her 16th birthday. Quincy Jones, an old friend of Goldie’s, just so happened to be in attendance, and it was he who urged her to “get into the studio,” Kate remembered.

Plus, the pair discussed singing at bars together around the world, what their own tribute band would be, and answered a special question from Anna Wintour. Listen to the full conversation up above.
