NextImg:Kate Hudson Knows It’s A ‘Bad Call’ She Turned Down This Iconic Role
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Kate Hudson is still thinking about the role that got away.

The actor admitted that she regrets turning down one of the most iconic films of the 2000s: “The Devil Wears Prada.”

“That was a bad call,” Hudson said during an interview on Capital FM’s “Capital Breakfast” radio show, with a slight grimace on her face, as the host let out a shocked “Ohhhh!”

“It was like, a timing thing,” she said, adding, “I should’ve made it happen, and I didn’t.”

“That was one where when I saw it I was like, ‘Ugh,’” she said, adding that not being able to take the role “just sucked.”

But Hudson remained positive: “Everything happens for a reason. There’s a reason for that.”

Hudson isn’t the only one who turned down the role, which later went to Anne Hathaway.

Fresh off the success of “Mean Girls and “The Notebook,” Rachel McAdams was repeatedly offered the part of Andy Sachs. Instead of taking it, she decided to take a two-year break from Hollywood.

“I felt guilty for not capitalizing on the opportunity that I was being given, because I knew I was in such a lucky spot,” McAdams said in a 2023 interview with Bustle. “But I also knew it wasn’t quite jiving with my personality and what I needed to stay sane.”

She added that “there were definitely some anxious moments of wondering if I was just throwing it all away, and why was I doing that?”
