Like just about everyone, Kate Hudson loves Fleetwood Mac. Specifically, she loves Stevie Nicks. So much so, in fact, that she wants to “go method” and play the rockstar in a hypothetical biopic.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Hudson gushed over Nicks and the thought of getting to embody her as a character. “But my family might, like, disown me if I ever got a chance to play Stevie. ‘Cause they’d be like, ‘Can we not go method?’ I would probably go way too far into that character,” she explained.
“I think for all girls who love rock, Stevie’s just our number one,” Hudson continued. “Her whole life experience and the music. Fleetwood Mac, that whole journey from before Stevie to after Stevie? And her relationship with Lindsey? It’s like a trilogy. There’s so much there. To me, that’s like the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll story.”
Also on Hudson’s list of musicians she wants to portray is none other than Dusty Springfield. “To me it’s also about the interesting life, and being able to tell that story correctly. I think Dusty Springfield is a really interesting story,” she said. “She’s one of my favorites and she was very shy. She had a lot of stage fright. Really fascinating woman. I think she struggled with being open about her sexuality. That could be a very powerful movie.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Hudson reflected on her own experience with music, from her breakout role in Almost Famous to singing “You’re So Vain” in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days to her recent debut album, Glorious. The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery star also covered The Stone Temple Pilots’ “Vasoline” last month on The Howard Stern Show.
