Alright, folks! Let’s dive into the lives of the awesome cast members from that famous romantic comedy with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. You remember that one, right? It made everyone wonder if they could rock a stunning backless yellow gown. Well, let’s see what these actors have been up to since the movie hit the screens back in 2003.
First up, we have the lovely Kate Hudson, who played the character Andie Anderson. Before she wowed us in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Kate had already earned an Oscar nomination for her role in “Almost Famous” (2000). Since then, she has stayed in the spotlight, starring in films like “Fool’s Gold” (2008), “Bride Wars” (2009), “Something Borrowed” (2011), “Wish I Was Here” (2014), “Mother’s Day” (2016), “Music” (2021), and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” (2022).
Kate has also shown her talents on the small screen, gracing our screens as the strict dance instructor Cassandra July on “Glee” and in the Apple TV+ series “Truth Be Told.” But acting isn’t her only venture. She launched her clothing brand called Fabletics, ventured into the vodka business with King St. Vodka, and even published a book in 2016 titled “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body.” Oh, and did you know she co-hosts a podcast called “Sibling Revelry” with her brother, Oliver? Talk about keeping busy!
As for Matthew McConaughey, who played the charming Ben Barry, you can’t forget his famous catchphrase, “Alright, alright, alright.” After his successful turn in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” he continued to shine in Hollywood. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013) and starred in other hit films like “Magic Mike” (2012), “Mud” (2012), and “Interstellar” (2014). He even lent his voice to the character Buster Moon in the “Sing” franchise.

But McConaughey’s talents don’t end on the big screen. You might have seen him in those Lincoln car commercials, delivering those quasi-philosophical monologues. He’s also been active in advocating for gun control following a tragic mass shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas. In 2020, he published a memoir called “Greenlights,” and he’s currently working on his second book, a picture book for kids called “Just Because.”
Now, let’s talk about Kathryn Hahn, who portrayed Michelle, Andie’s BFF in the film. After her role in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” she had a breakthrough year with her appearance in the comedy hit “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” (2004). She continued to impress us with her performances in films like “Step Brothers” (2008), “Revolutionary Road” (2008), and “Wanderlust” (2012).
But that’s not all—Hahn didn’t stop at being the sidekick in romantic comedies. She moved on to lead roles, starring in movies like “Afternoon Delight” (2013) and “Bad Moms” (2016). Oh, and guess what? In 2022, she reunited with Kate Hudson in the Oscar-nominated film “Glass Onion.” Hahn’s talents also extend to the small screen, where she appeared in shows like HBO’s “I Know This Much Is True” and Disney+’s “WandaVision.” In fact, her character, Agatha Harkness, is even getting her own spin-off series called “Agatha: Coven of Chaos.”
Next up, we have Adam Goldberg, who played Tony, one of Ben’s buddies. Before “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Goldberg had already made a name for himself in films like “Dazed and Confused” (1993), “Saving Private Ryan” (1998), and “A Beautiful Mind” (2001). Since then, he has appeared extensively on television in shows like “Fargo,” “Taken,” and “The Equalizer.”
But wait, there’s more! Goldberg is not just an actor—he’s also a multi-instrumentalist. In 2009, he released an album called “Eros and Omissions,” collaborating with Flaming Lips drummer Steven Drozd. Goldberg even wrote three young adult novels, and the first one, “Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles,” became a New York Times bestseller.
Moving on to Thomas Lennon, who portrayed Thayer, another one of Ben’s friends. Lennon has continued his rom-com streak since his role in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” You might have seen him in films like “17 Again” (2009), “I Love You, Man” (2009), “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012), and “We’re the Millers” (2013). Lennon is also known for his roles in comedy series like the “Reno 911!” franchise and “Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.”
But here’s the kicker: Lennon is not just an actor; he’s also an accomplished comedy screenwriter. He has writing credits for films such as “Night at the Museum” (2006) and “Balls of Fury” (2007). On top of that, Lennon has written three young adult novels, with “Ronan Boyle and the Bridge of Riddles” becoming a New York Times bestseller.
Let’s not forget Annie Parisse, who played Jeannie, one of Andie’s friends. Before landing her role in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Parisse had primarily worked in soap operas. But since then, she has made her mark on television, appearing in shows like “Vinyl” and “Friends from College.” She even starred alongside Al Pacino in the film “Paterno” (2018). Parisse also flexed her acting muscles on stage in the New York Public Theater’s productions of “Measure for Measure” and “All’s Well That Ends Well.”
Lastly, we have Bebe Neuwirth, who portrayed Lana Jong, Andie’s tough boss at Composure magazine. Neuwirth was already well-known for her roles on the TV series “Frasier” and in the Broadway musical “Chicago,” which earned her a Tony award in 1997. Since “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” she has continued to work in television, Broadway, and film. You might have seen her on CBS’s “Madame Secretary” and in a cameo appearance in Netflix’s “Tick, Tick…Boom!” (2021).
Bebe Neuwirth tied the knot with director, producer, and writer Chris Calkins, and their wedding ceremony was officiated by fellow actor Peter Coyote. Quite the star-studded affair, I’d say!
