Kate Hudson wants to get back together with her “Almost Famous” co-star

After recently launching her music career, Kate Hudson expressed hope for a musical reunion with her co-star from “Almost Famous”.

Almost Famous was released over two decades ago and featured Hudson’s character Penny Lane following the rock band Stillwater around the U.S. as a “band-aid” – not as a groupie, but as a “band-aid.” Billy Crudup played lead guitarist Russell Hammond in the film, and this time Hudson wants him onstage with her.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the actress and singer revealed that she wanted to invite Crudup to perform because she believes fans would enjoy seeing him perform.

“I just thought, ‘Billy still plays guitar.’ I thought, ‘I’m going to get him on stage. I’m going to get him to do this,'” Hudson mused. “I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be so funny if Billy actually played guitar?’ I think the audience would love it and go crazy.”

The Glass Onion star signed a deal with Virgin Music Group earlier this year and recently released her debut album Glorious. Speaking about Almost Famous and its musical influence, she said: “That film is one of the greatest musical films of all time. And everyone in that film loved music.”

She praised the film’s writer and director, Cameron Crowe, for introducing her to “all this great music that I had never heard before.”

“I think Cameron understood that I loved music and saw that in me, but he really opened the door to so much music for me at that age (19),” she said. “And I just got so immersed in it during that time. It was really special.”

She added: “I am so grateful to him because that was the beginning of everything for me.”

Hudson also revealed that she loves reading Instagram reactions to her music, recalling how a comment referencing her character Penny Lane made her laugh. “It makes me happy that people relate to that and then enjoy me making music. It’s so beautiful.”
