"With Matthew and I, it is just a very similar type of joie de vivre," said Hudson of her chemistry with McConaughey in the film and in life. "We love life, we lead with energy, very competitive by nature, we're competitive with each other, very flirtatious, not afraid to be flirtatious."

"I think there's just a similar energy that somehow allowed us to be able to really connect onscreen and fall in love," she added, as reported by People.

"It's like, you have great loves of your life, and then, like, as actresses I think you have great loves in your work," Hudson said of McConaughey. "And he's one of my great loves. And I think that just is something that happens when you meet and you feel that chemistry."

"I feel really lucky that I got to experience that with someone as talented and as fun as Matthew," she said, Hudson has been engaged to Danny Fujikawa since 2021, while McConaughey has been married to Camila Alves McConaughey since 2012, reported People.
