Kate Hudson, who self-describes as the “biggest flirt,” let Page Six in on her secret to catching someone’s attention.
“You’ve got to be honest [with yourself],” she told us ahead of a screening of her new Netflix TV show, “Running Point,” at the Paley Museum in New York City Wednesday.
The “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” actress, 45, noted that people “can’t force” themselves “to be a flirt.”
“Maybe you sit back, you know what I mean?” she suggested. “Maybe you sit back and observe and let them come to you.”
Hudson shared her tip after recently gushing about how her fiancé, Danny Fujikawa, can handle her being the “biggest flirt on the planet.”
“So I think anybody who’s ever been with me is very aware that I flirt with everybody — girls, boys,” she admitted to Bustle in an interview published Tuesday.
The “Bride Wars” actress continued, “Thank God Danny is my partner. He can handle this. I met the right guy.”
Hudson previously made headlines when she revealed that she took a year-long hiatus from dating in her 30s.
Talking on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in May 2024, she told host Alex Cooper about her experience, “I was like, ‘What?’ I couldn’t flirt –– none of it. But it was great.”
“If I didn’t do that, I would never have ended up with Danny, because Danny, he’s just such a good man, and I’m not so sure I was attracted to the good man,” she added.
The “Talk About Love” singer started dating Fujikawa in 2016 and they share daughter Rani, 6.
Hudson spoke to Page Six while promoting her new Netflix show, co-created by Mindy Kaling and co-starring Brenda Song, Jay Ellis, Justin Theroux, Scott MacArthur, Drew Tarver and Max Greenfield.
“It was great and hilarious, and I’ve never done a series, and I always was hoping that a comedy would come along that I could really invest in, and it is hard to find really good comedy,” Hudson told us.
The actress explained that she read the pilot episode and was immediately captivated.
“I was just like, ‘If this is what we’re doing, I’m so in!’ And, yeah, it was what we’re doing, so I’m very very pleased and happy and excited,” she gushed.
Song, 36, and Ellis, 43, also chatted about the series, raving about working with legendary stars like Hudson and Kaling.
“Exactly how you feel is how I feel every single day –– like how is this real life?” Song told Page Six of the duo.
“I mean, to be around women and to work with people who I respect and admire and that I have been fangirl for so long is really surreal,” she added. “Like, a lot of times I still have to look over and be like, ‘Oh my God, I work with Kate Hudson! She’s on the carpet with me! This is crazy!”
The “Last Showgirl” actress continued telling us that both Hudson and Kaling are “so down to earth,” “so kind,” “so generous” and “so talented.”
When asked what “surprised” her the most about working with Hudson, the Disney alum immediately quipped, “That I don’t know how this woman does everything she does!”
“She runs a company, she has three kids, she’s doing the show, she dropped an album while we were making this show and still at the end of all day filming like, ‘Hey guys, let’s go to dinner, let’s grab drinks,’” she recalled. “She has a superpower. She can literally do it all and do it with such grace. It’s incredible.”
Ellis also chatted with Page Six about his experience on set, joking that he had to get on board with the show after Kaling “cornered” him and co-creator Ike Barinholtz created a character based on him.
“Mindy’s and my kids go to school together, and she cornered me one day at drop-off in the morning and told me I had to do the show, so here I am,” he said with a laugh.
Ellis quickly followed up by saying that he was “living the dream” by playing a basketball coach in the series.
“Any chance you get to work with friends, you take it,” he raved. “You jump at it because it just doesn’t happen that often.”
“Running Point” follows Hudson’s character, Isla Gordon, as she unexpectedly becomes the president of the Los Angeles Waves over her competitive brothers. Isla receives support from her best friend and Waves chief of staff, Ali Lee (played by Song), and the Waves head coach, Jay Brown (played by Ellis).
All ten episodes of “Running Point” Season 1 are available to stream on Netflix.
