ELLE EXCLUSIVE: KATE HUDSON
Yes, this really is Kate Hudson. When ELLE met up with the actress in New York to shoot our December cover, we were pretty amazed, too. We’ve photographed and interviewed Kate before, of course, the last time for our April 2008 issue, some 20 months ago. But while the bright smile and easy-going persona were familiar, Kate’s incredible new body was something of a shock.
In the process of losing weight for a role in which she plays a terminally-ill woman, 30-year-old Hudson describes her body as ‘Pretty solid, actually. I’m not, like, 110lbs. But I’m probably heading towards that.’
Writer Choire Sicha meets Kate for lunch, but when she turns up at the restaurant she’s already eaten. Apparently, her meal consisted of some beetroot from a plastic container that’s now stained red and that, for no apparent reason, she will carry around for the rest of the day. She does drink: some disgusting, pulpy, grey, grapefruit concoction. That’s another thing about this career-enforced diet, no cocktailing. ‘And I love my glass of wine. I love tequila,’ she says. ‘To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage! I’m not sure I’ve ever done that.’
The full interview, is in the December issue of ELLE on sale from Wednesday, but we’re happy to give you a taster of what you can expect. Here’s Kate on a few of her passions:

Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it’s great!
On cosmetic surgery: ‘I was in a press conference once, and someone says, “So, I can tell you’ve never had Botox!” Is that a compliment? Or are you trying to say I’m starting to get wrinkles? I literally was like, “What?” Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it’s great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife, and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I’m glad it’s there for when it’s time.’
On men: ‘I sometimes feel like when you’re talking to boys, they just hear certain keywords. But if you had a bubble above their head, they’d be thinking about game scores, masturbation and food.’
And women: ‘I love being a girl. I love clothes and I love the rituals of facials and body treatments, all the stuff girls get, make-up, scarves, hats. And we’re like a tribe. That’s just our nature. You get a group of women together and, somehow, we keep it together. I love that we can be that powerful, as a group. Men, you know, it’s survival of the fittest.’
The full interview and incredible pictures appear in the December issue of ELLE, on Wednesday.
