The star then began to get parts alongside prominent actors, such as Heath Ledger, with whom she starred in 2002’s The Four Feathers. However, the film flopped at the box office.
By 2003, Hudson acted opposite Matthew McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, which was a smash hit. The project ended up grossing over $100 million at the box office and has become a rom-com classic.
Hudson went on to star in 2003’s Le Divorce with Naomi Watts, 2005’s The Skeleton Key and 2006’s You, Me, and Dupree, where she acted alongside Owen Wilson.
