We probably would have gotten married with kids. We’re probably miserable right now!”By 2022, Hudson revealed that she and McConaughey would be more inclined to make a sequel if the script had a strong plot. “Matthew and I always say like, if there was a great story there, I think we would do it,” she said during a BAFTA event, adding that “it’s hard to make a good rom-com. I mean, I think people have this sort of conception that it’s sort of easy. But to get a story right, to make it actually work, is challenging.”During her 2024 appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, Hudson doubled down on her comments about needing a strong script, and said, “All that matters would be the script and if Matthew and I were into the script. I think we’re both totally open, it has just never happened.”She echoed her 2024 comments in a 2025 interview with E!. “The thing is, it would just have to be totally right,” she told the outlet. As for what she thinks Andie would be like today, Hudson said the protagonist would be “too wild by nature,” and would “definitely” have “great outfits”—“She still loves dresses and Isadora diamonds,” she added.What has McConaughey said about a sequel?McConaughey has not opened up much about his thoughts on a How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days sequel, though Hudson shared on numerous occasions that he’d be interested, with the right script. But in his 2024 feature story with Interview, he explained that starring in numerous rom-coms like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in the 2000s nearly led him to quit acting.“I’ve usually zigged when I felt like Hollywood wanted me to zag. When I had my rom-com years, there was only so much bandwidth I could give to those, and those were some solid hits for me,” the actor said. “But I wanted to try some other stuff.”McConaughey noted that he “wasn’t getting” the types of roles he wanted, prompting him “to leave Hollywood for two years.”“Dude, it was scary. I had long talks with my wife about needing to find a new vocation,” he added. “I wasn’t going to pull the parachute and quit the mission I was on. But it was scary, because I didn’t know if I was ever going to get out of the desert.”This post will be updated.
