And in this scene I want to play, the two of you are on a date.

It's before you're married.

And you're sharing your hopes and dreams.

Let's listen.

That was my guest, Kate Hudson, with Hugh Jackman in the film Song, Song Blue.

What was it about Claire's arc that you felt you understood?

She has ups and downs, but I mean, she...

She really, there's a moment where she actually loses her leg.

And so you had to learn how to kind of move even your body with the idea of wearing a prosthetic.

She deals with depression, ups and downs, all of those things as well.

Addiction.

Addiction as well.

You chose not to meet with the real Claire.

And I wondered, is there something that gets in the way of being able to explore those parts of her by not meeting her?

On the right track, yeah.

Well, that's the part that's so fascinating to me.

You know, I did ask you the question, what was it about the character that really drew you in, that you found, that really spoke to you?

But what were the challenges of the character itself that drew you to her, that made you say, I want to live in this space and this world and be this person for what she draws out in the story?

You know, Kate, in the intro, I mentioned that Hugh Jackman saw you singing on CBS Sunday Morning.

And I know you taking on this role, the story is much more complicated than that.
