- Story Text: Stars Kate Hudson and daddy-to-be Matthew McConaughey talk about their on screen chemistry and how the notorious bachelor will do as a father.
The stars of "Fool's Gold", Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson braved the chilly weather in Los Angeles, California to premiere the film on Wednesday (January 30).
The film stars McConaughey as Ben 'Finn' Finnegan, a surf bum-turned-treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queens Dowry -- 40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715.
In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan (Kate Hudson) and his more-rusty-than-trusty salvage boat, Booty Calls.
Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasures whereabouts. The film is set to be released in North American theaters on February 8.
Since 2003 their duet on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" the two have fueled rumors of a love affair but McConaughey explains its just good old fashion chemistry.
"When we first met, there was sort of this punch and jab, ebb and flow, flirt and fight" McConaughey explains. He continued, "Kind of 'you kidding me?', thump on the head, yeah lets together thing. I don't know really how to explain it but it had that dance to it. We had rhythm that seem to work I think what's cool is that we can hit each other below the belt still come back from it. it's fun,"
McConaughey recently revealed that he had a secret crush on the actress and would have made a move had she not been married. Hudson explains that's it not the flirting that connects them but the fact that they can fight fair.
"We get along really well," Kate Hudson said in a blue Lanvin dress.
"I think we appreciate each other. I think maybe a part of that too is like that we actually fought pretty well too and we are not afraid to talk about that. I think we just kind of are who we are and for some reason it kind of works and we appreciate who we are."
The "Dazed and Confused" actor and his girlfriend Brazilian model Camila Alves are expecting their first child together. McConaughey known as ' The Sexiest Man Alive', a naked bongo player, and a man who really has shirt on says he thinks he has got fatherhood handled.
"I'll be a good father," McConaughey told Reuters.
"I just know I will I've got the instincts and I have wanted to be since, looked forward to being a father, since I was eight- years old. What will I have to work on? I think I am going to find that out for sure and i will have a better answer for you afterwards. Because I have heard this that whatever you think it's gonna be like whatever grand plans you have be ready to toss them. But the kid will have a lot of love and that will be consistent and that will be easy."
Donald Sutherland plays a wealthy benefactor who finances their mission in the film.
Sutherland may have slipped the sex of 38-year old McConaughey's unborn baby after the daddy-to-be has repeatedly said he doesn't know the sex of the child.
"I am going to get him a book on bearing children so he can deliver it", Donald Sutherland said. "It's a boy, I think it's a boy. Is it a boy? I don't know I think so."
Hudson believes McConaughey will be a great father when the child arrives in late June or July.
"He think he is going to be a very playful daddy. He will be a blast of daddy. I think everybody has different things to work on as parents, you know. Nobody is perfect and everybody parents differently and I don't know. How strict I was. I was really surprised I thought I would be way more lenient and I am not I am actually quite strict which was the biggest surprise for me I think." - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
