He&#8217;s been doing a lot of this lately.<\/p>\n<p>His new film, &#8220;Song Sung Blue,&#8221; is based on the real-life story of Mike and Claire Sardina, celebrity impersonators who teamed up to form a Neil Diamond tribute act by the name of Lightning &amp; Thunder. Jackman was cast early on as Mike, and director Craig Brewer was still looking for someone to play Claire, when Jackman got an idea from watching TV: &#8220;Yeah. It&#8217;s this little-known show, &#8216;CBS Sunday Morning,'&#8221; he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In April 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/kate-hudson-on-her-glorious-album\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;Sunday Morning&#8221; aired a profile of Kate Hudson<\/a> and her blossoming music career. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium\"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n                              <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/kate-hudson-on-her-glorious-album\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/>\n            <\/svg><br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Kate Hudson on her &#8220;Glorious&#8221; album<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">07:59<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jackman was contacted by a friend and assistant, Michelle: &#8220;She texts me: &#8216;Are you watching &#8220;CBS Sunday Morning&#8221;?&#8217; I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m not.&#8217; Normally I am, by the way \u2013 that sounded sucky, but it&#8217;s true!

Because it was like, I could feel \u2013 you know, you just know, like, &#8216;Ah, she&#8217;s gonna be perfect,&#8217; &#8217;cause she&#8217;s amazing, and I love her, and I love her as an actress.

My big thing was thinking, I was watching my mom watching it. I was like, &#8216;God \u2026&#8217; because I&#8217;m so, I guess, not the glamorous version of myself \u2013 or even honestly my version. You know, I was a bit heavier and didn&#8217;t see my skin person for a while, you know. I was like, &#8216;God, it must be so interesting for my mom to see her middle-aged daughter on the screen.&#8217; She must have been like, &#8216;Oh my God, she&#8217;s middle-aged!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, it seems middle age has been good to Kate Hudson, even in a year that would put the gray in anyone&#8217;s hair. Last January, a wind-driven firestorm incinerated the Pacific Palisades section of Los Angeles, where Hudson has lived for most of her life. Her home is one of the few still standing, but her neighborhood is full of vacant lots where her friends&#8217; houses used to be \u2013 and some of the places she treasured the most went up in smoke. <\/p>\n<p>She showed us around what was left of the neighborhood: &#8220;Every time I drive by here, taking the kids from, like, baseball or soccer, you know, I drive by and I go, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s where mommy had her first kiss.&#8217; And now you&#8217;re like \u2026 it&#8217;s not there.
