Kate Hudson learned a lot about acting from starring opposite Naomi Watts in 2003’s Le Divorce.

“I’ll never forget looking at Naomi Watts’ script,” Hudson, 46, recalled to Jeremy Allen White in the Sunday, December 14, episode of Variety & CNN’s “Actors on Actors” series. “I saw her notes and was like, ‘Well, I’m really underperforming.’”

According to Hudson, Watts, now 57, had her script completely marked up with notes on her character.

“You have to get that highlighter out. Figure out, ‘Who is this person to me?’” Hudson said. “Naomi was so committed to her craft. I was like, ‘Let’s get wine and smoke cigarettes and party on location in Paris.’ She’d sit at home and know her lines.”
