Why Didn’t Hollywood Work Out For Kate Hudson?

6Disappointing resume

Kate has been one of the most unfortunate stars at the box office. In spite of being considerably talented and having a great screen presence, Kate fails to pull audiences to her movies. She not only chose bad films but did not live up to her full potential in any of them. Her disappointing performances in Bride Wars and Something Borrowed miffed her fans. Truth be told, a couple of bad films or a bad phase can be explained away. But Kate has had a bad run since 2000 and her fans don't exactly know who to blame.

7Competing with Gwyneth

It was reported that Kate was pretty insecure about close friend Gwyneth Paltrow who is a total multi-tasker. Not only is Gwyneth a successful actress but has a lifestyle empire and a successful website, and has established herself as a lifestyle guru. Kate also started an athleisure brand and wrote a lifestyle book but got nowhere close to Gwyneth’s success. Plus Gwyneth had already established herself as a tremendous actress and has even won an Oscar. It'd be pretty crazy to compete with her.

8Trying too hard?

Fans and critics have often accused Kate of trying to look too young for her age. She is 38 and sometimes her wardrobe screams ‘desperate for attention’. She doesn't just try to be younger than she is but also messes it up sometimes and doesn't seem to have a grip on her own style.

9Flings with younger men

Kate has been seeing a string of famous men who are much younger than her but none of them seemed to last. She briefly dated dancer Derek Hough and then was seen out and about with pop star Nick Jonas who is also a lot younger than her. Though there's nothing wrong with dating younger men, a series of short-lived dalliances with them seems to have miffed her fans.

10Why chick lit?

Fans have often asked Kate to experiment with roles and genres. But Kate has always stuck to the chick lit genre which hasn't worked out for her. Kate might have had good success with indie flicks or even gritty cinema. But it was pretty clear that Kate aspired for commercial success and consistently stuck to rom-coms like Bride Wars, Raising Helen which turned out to be box office duds.
