Kate Hudson revealed she did not pursue a career in music due to "daddy issues"

Kate Hudson explained why she put off pursuing a music career until now. The celebrated actress revealed during a Tuesday visit on Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi that her troubled connection with her biological father, musician Bill Hudson, prevented her from pursuing a career in music. "Earlier on in my career, I thought I would definitely [pursue] music, but then 'Almost Famous' happened," she remarked of her breakout performance in the popular 2000 film. Additionally, in reference to her estranged father, Hudson, 43, continued, "Later, I kind of rejected it because, [I thought] as you do when you're dealing with daddy issues, I don't want to connect to that part, because that's my dad. If that one connection I had to him, I failed miserably at, it would be devastating to me — I wasn't ready for that."

"You know, I had this thing [during] COVID ... Every time you're doing interviews, people are like, 'Do you have any regrets?' I go, 'I'm early 40s... not yet.' But during COVID, I was like, 'You know, what am I doing?'"

I can't wait."

Kate Hudson also spoke with Bozzi about her "prolific" experience working on the record with Linda Perry and her fiancé Danny Fujikawa. They collaborated to write 26 songs in around two months. Moreover, she disclosed that the record is still untitled and stated, "I would say we're like 70 percent there — I mean, pretty soon we're going to be like 90 percent there. It was like a memoir for me."

It's so personal. I've never done anything like this, that's fully just me putting it out there. I was so terrified of doing that. During COVID, I was like, 'If I don't do it, that it'll be the only regret — so I'm gonna just do it.' I'm so excited because the music turned out really wonderful. I can't wait for people to hear."
