It’s 11am and actor Kate Hudson is three hours into her LA day. First, some meditation. Then fruit for breakfast and, after we speak, she’ll head to the Hollywood post-production suite to work. It’s all a far cry from the gritty working-class world she inhabits in her new film Song Sung Blue, a hit fast gathering Bafta and Oscar buzz. “I will never tire of the reaction to this movie!” gushes Hudson. “I’ve been in this industry long enough to know if someone wants to say ‘Oscars buzz’ you don’t question it. Playing Claire has been a joy and also one of the great responsibilities of my career.”
Hudson stars opposite Hugh Jackman in the very unlikely-yet-true story of an American Neil Diamond tribute act called Lightning & Thunder who made a name for themselves in the 1990s.
