The next costar mentioned was Anne Hathaway, whom Hudson acted alongside in 2009's Bride Wars. She gushed that The Devil Wears Prada 2 star is "the moment" right now, and also "smart, caring, intentional" and "a good friend."

In Running Point, Kevin Miles, who plays Jake in the State Farm commercials, makes a cameo. Hudson shared that Miles, 35, is "such a nice guy," adding, "I think it was his first time actually being on a show."
Hudson also gave her thoughts on her How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days costars Kathryn Hahn and Matthew McConaughey.
"I love her so much. I love Kathryn Hahn," Hudson said. "Hilarious, loving, nuts and beautiful, amazing mother. She's a great partner. She's a seriously great friend. She's a soulmate type of friend for me. I love her so much. She roots for the best version of everybody."

She added, "It's like even someone who you might be like, 'No, don't root for that person,' she's like, 'I am rooting for them.' Every ounce of her is goodness. I just love Kathryn … Yeah, I could work with her over and over and over again."
As for McConaughey, 56, Hudson said, "He is the most unique, wonderful, spontaneous, unpredictable man I've ever worked with. He's competitive in the best ways. He is so much fun to laugh with. He's down for anything. I love how unpredictable he is because I feel like I love ... anybody who's unpredictable, I want to hang around because I'm down too."
"At the same time, he's really protective," she added. "Another great father. He's a beautiful partner to [wife] Camila [McConaughey]. He's a really great family man. And he cares deeply about his work, but mostly about the human condition, and finding inner peace, or at least contentment. And we connect on that very much. Yeah, Matthew's a really unique, special person."

Hudson had equally kind words for Billy Crudup. The two shared the screen in 2000's Almost Famous, which earned Hudson an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
"Hot. Hot, fun, intense. Funny," she said of Crudup, 57. "Billy is one of the funniest ... and from afar, you wouldn't think he'd be one of the funniest people, and I know a lot of funny people, but Billy is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He's incredibly witty and bright and dry and handsome. Another great parent, he's a great dad. And he's a great husband to my friend Naomi [Watts], and I love him."
In Running Point, Hudson plays Isla Gordon, a woman who takes over her family's pro basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves, after her brother, Cam Gordon (Justin Theroux), steps down.
The cast also includes Drew Tarver, Chet Hanks, Brenda Song and Scott MacArthur.
