Billy Crudupis thankingKate Hudsonfor the kissing feedback.
In December, Hudson, 43, tookVanity Fair’s lie detector testand compared kissing her previous costars, includingMatthew McConaughey(How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,Fool’s Gold) and Crudup (Almost Famous), the latter of which she described as a “gentler” kisser.
“I think Billy is a gentler kisser,” she said. “I wouldn’t say better. Definitely just gentler. It’s a more sophisticated version of a kiss.”
“[Billy’s is] like theater, it’s like Stanislavski, and [Matthew’s is] like, Longhorns, you know what I mean?” the actress joked.
Crudup, 54,toldEntertainment Tonightthat the compliment all had to do with how his character, Russell Hanmond, kissed, rather than the actor’s own skills.
“I think she was thinking the character Russell was gentler,” he toldET. “I don’t have a mustache now. This is the great thing about playing these parts, whether it’s for music or romance, I love to expand my horizons.”
Crudup added, “Thanks Kate for that shoutout!”

Hudson continued traipsing down memory lane as she rang in the 20th anniversary ofHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, joining McConaughey, 53, in anInstagram Liveearlier this month. The two reminisced on their onscreen chemistry,joking that they did “kiss nicely.”
“My whole thing is like, we’re always in weird environments [when we kiss in movies]. It’s never like … there was only one time when we kissed that was like so nice and gentle, in the bathroom,” Hudson said.
She then confessed, “But, in respect to our now partners, we do kiss nicely. It was always a very nice kiss.” Said McConaughey, “I would have to agree with you. Absolutely.”
