They say it’s never too late to chase your dreams and, at least in the world of entertainment, several stars have shown that that statement is much more than the typical message meant to be engraved in pastel colors on a breakfast cup. Leonard Cohen, for example, released his first album at age 33; Sia was about to celebrate four decades of life when her anthem Chandelier gave him a ticket to global stardom; Morgan Freeman finally made a name for himself in Hollywood at 50 and, before becoming an icon of the seventh art with Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford worked as a carpenter at the age of 35. The most difficult yet on this illustrious list is trying to fulfill that desire by moving to a different discipline and after having triumphed for two decades in which one now wants to leave aside. That is the case of Kate Hudson, the performer known for films like almost famous either How to lose a guy in 10 dayswhich took two and a half years to make a decision that he had suspected since his earliest youth: to become a music star at the age of 45.
Last May 17th it saw the light Glorious, the debut work as a solo singer by Kate Hudson that has broken into the top 10 best-selling albums on the United States charts. Qualified by the specialized magazine Rolling Stone As one of the “most pleasant surprises of the year”, the album travels between classic rock, blues and country rhythms with songs written by the artist herself and the inspiration of references such as Linda Ronstadt or Stevie Nicks.
Linda Perry, the producer of artists like Adele, Christina Aguilera and Pink, is most responsible for Hudson taking this step. “She should have dedicated herself to music because she is a rock star,” recently confirmed in the magazine People. The germ of their collaboration is a coincidence worthy of triggering one of the many romantic comedies that made the actress an icon. dosmilero by excellence. Hudson agreed to sing a version of the firework of Katy Perry via video call at a charity event organized by a school in Los Angeles, the same one Linda’s children attend. The producer, surprised by the performer’s hidden talent, soon contacted her. She “she told me: ‘I didn’t know you could sing like that. Do you also write music?’ And I said: ‘Yes’; and she replied: ‘Okay, come to my studio,’ has counted Hudson, who wrote the 12 songs that make up the album in just two weeks.
The actress admits that she has needed a lot of therapy to be able to face her fears and dare to take this step. Even when she was about to try it for the first time, at just 30 years old, someone in the music industry, whose identity she has not wanted to reveal, told her that she was “too old” to become a vocalist. The restrictions imposed by the pandemic represented the definitive epiphany: “When confinement came, I asked myself: ‘What am I doing? What is my life? What will happen if I die?’ If I don’t give myself the opportunity to share my music, I will forever regret it,” she recalled in the interview with Rolling Stone.
Although collaterally, the truth is that Hudson has left many signs of his love for eighth notes during his career, both in front of and off the cameras. In her first big role in Hollywood, almost famous (2000), gave life to a groupie; has appeared in several musicals (Nine, Music, Glee); and the parents of her three children are well-known figures in the industry. The first, Ryder (20 years old), the result of her six-year marriage to the singer of the group The Black Crowes, Chris Robinson; the second, Bingham, descendant of Matt Bellamy, leader of the famous rock band Muse; and the third, Rani, born in 2018, is her only daughter with her current partner, Danny Fujikawa, who also produces the album. Glorious.
From Cher to Scarlett Johansson, through Jennifer Lopez and Juliette Lewis, the list of well-known faces from the big screen who later tried to emulate – with mixed success – her predicament on stage is as long as Hollywood itself. But in the case of the Oscar nominee, the lateness of her bet is surprising. Daughter of the famous Goldie Hawn and the musician Bill Hudson, who left the family unit when she was just a child and was raised by her stepfather, the no less famous Kurt Russell, she has been precisely the media scrutiny of her for his pedigree nepobaby the obstacle that has held back his desire to become a singer for 20 years. “If I had tried it when I was in my twenties I would have had a hard time not being carried away by what people would say. At this age and at this point in my life I no longer feel the same fear of rejection. I just want to share it. I know that not everyone is going to like me, but I can’t let myself be carried away by fear,” Kate Hudson acknowledged last week in Varietyin another of the interviews for the promotion of his album.
Although deprived of celebrating her vocation in front of the microphone, the Californian has proven to be one of the celebrities most professionally active among those who inhabit the hills of Los Angeles. During these years she has managed to reconcile a more or less stable career in Hollywood with a business portfolio worthy of the best wolf on Wall Street. In addition to Fabletics, a firm specialized in sports fashion and athletics founded in 2013 with the leggings As a star product, it is also behind a line of cosmetics, nutrition and vitamin supplements called Inbloom.
In 2019, he joined the furor shared among film actors for sponsoring alcoholic beverage brands with King St. Vodka, a craft liquor that was born to respond to his passion for cocktails. On the other hand, fans of the Kate actress can rest assured because she has confirmed that she does not plan to leave aside her acting side: she has a pending release on thriller psychological Shell, alongside Elisabeth Moss and Kaia Gerber, set in a future in which the obsession with youth and beauty has reached the extreme; and Running Pointthe new comedy series from Mindy Kaling (The Office) for Netflix, in which she plays the owner of a globally famous professional basketball team.
