Neither Kate Hudson or Matthew McConaughey was looking their best at the London premiere of their adventure caper Fool’s Gold last night. Hudson was swimming in a sea green silk John Galliano kimono-like dress while McConaughey’s hair looked more suited for a sock hop than a 2008 film premiere. He must be in that awkward stage between clean cut and scruffy, desperately trying to grow his hair out but unable to style it other than to poof it up.

Hudson gave an interview at the premiere last night and explained that she has green eyes and really hates it when she sees them airbrushed blue on the covers of magazines. From the way she phrased her answer, it sounds like someone specifically asked her about airbrushing:

“I just tend to let those things go. I can’t tell you how many covers of magazines I’ve been on when my eyes were blue.

“I don’t have blue eyes. I have green eyes. So, you just kind of go with it, you know, it’s like it is what it is and that’s what people do, you know.”

Hudson also said that she drives McConaughey crazy when she’s late for interviews they’re doing together, and McConaughey said that they’re good friends that drive each other crazy:

“He can’t stand it when I’m late,” she explained. “It drives him crazy when I’m late. And every time I come to an appointment he just looks at me and he tells me I’m tardy.

“Every time I’m, like, ten minutes late, he pulls this little face.”

But Hudson’s lack of punctuality will not prevent McConaughey from making a third film with her, the Texan actor said at the premiere at London’s Vue West End cinema.

“We are super close and we just, for some reason, really connected from the first movie we did,” he revealed.

“It continues and, like any good relationship you have with your friends, it can drive you a little crazy… We drive each other crazy, but in a good way – in a sort of loving way.”

I wouldn’t mind it if I was a starlet who had my fat and fine lines smoothed out for magazine covers as long as it wasn’t too obvious, but you can see how Hudson gets annoyed that they make her eyes blue. Why would they do that? Aren’t green eyes pretty too? I zoomed in on Hudson’s face and her eyes are lovely but the color isn’t that deep. Maybe editors think that the eyes should “pop” more to sell copies. It looks like no body feature is immune on the covers of magazines. The results are just an ideal version of an already gorgeous person. The emotional part of me sees those magazine covers and thinks I need to get my teeth bleached, get botox and lose 15 pounds while my logical mind fights to tell me that it’s all the magic of Photoshop. It’s hard to escape those fake images of women staring back at you perfectly, accusingly.

Also doesn’t McConaughey seem like the person most likely to be late among these two? I’m kind of surprised that mr. laid back natural smell is punctual enough to care if someone else is ten minutes late.
