Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, the unparalleled duo who ignited hearts as the on-screen lovers in the upcoming biographical musical drama Song Sung Blue, hilariously confessed that they felt like a "real" married couple after their 36-day shoot. The 57-year-old Wolverine actor, at the 2025 Gotham Awards, quipped, "We only shot for 36 days, but it really does feel like we were married for a long time." In agreement, the 46-year-old Running Point actress added, "Yeah, we were married a very long time!"
The Almost Famous alum praised the seamless work environment where "it was so easy for us...the work was fun." She further elaborated, "We enjoyed the experience together. It was...safe and trusting, and that made it fun." She credited Jackman for fostering a healthy and collaborative work atmosphere on set, where both actors found themselves immersed in the characters of Mike and Claire Sardina.
The Bride Wars star expressed her awe for the two artists whose lives the film is based on, revealing her surprise at the "extensive" catalogue of Neil Diamond's music she had not known before filming. The Logan star also lavished praise on Mike Sardina, referring to him as "one of the greats of all time, and he's one of the great songwriters."
Jackman revealed with a sense of hope that their film would "actually generate a whole new wave of interest in his music." The Deadpool & Wolverine actor's enthusiasm is contagious, mirroring his own excitement for this project that's set to hit the screens on Christmas Day, December 25, in the United States.
Additionally, it's worth noting that Hugh Jackman walked the red carpet with his long-time friend and rumored girlfriend, Sutton Foster. Their friendship has been in the headlines this year after they reportedly confirmed their relationship.
