Hudson didn’t stop at acting; she ventured into other areas too. She launched her own clothing brand called Fabletics and even started a vodka company called King St. Vodka. In 2016, she published a book titled “Pretty Happy: Healthy Ways to Love Your Body” and co-hosts a podcast called “Sibling Revelry” with her brother, Oliver. And let’s not forget that she’s a proud mom to three kids!

Now, let’s talk about the man who made us all swoon with his character, Ben Barry—Matthew McConaughey. This guy has had some serious success since his charismatic role in the film. You might remember him winning an Academy Award for Best Actor in “Dallas Buyers Club” (2013). He also appeared in hit movies like “Magic Mike” (2012), “Mud” (2012), and “Interstellar” (2014). Oh, and did you know he voiced Buster Moon in the “Sing” franchise?

McConaughey became known for his collaboration with the Lincoln Motor Company, where he delivered those cool philosophical monologues while driving their cars. He also took a stand on gun control advocacy following a tragic event in his hometown. In 2020, he published a memoir called “Greenlights,” and he’s now working on a picture book for kids called “Just Because.” McConaughey is happily married to Camila Alves, and they have three beautiful children together.

Next, let’s talk about Kathryn Hahn, who portrayed Andie’s BFF, Michelle. This was one of her early roles, and she went on to star in the blockbuster “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” (2004). Hahn later appeared in films like “Step Brothers” (2008), “Revolutionary Road” (2008), and “Wanderlust” (2012). She transitioned from being the romantic comedy sidekick to taking on lead roles in movies like “Afternoon Delight” (2013) and “Bad Moms” (2016). Recently, she reunited with Kate Hudson in the Oscar-nominated film “Glass Onion.” Hahn’s talent extends to television, where she appeared in shows like “I Know This Much Is True” and had a memorable role as Agatha Harkness in “WandaVision.” She’s even getting her own spin-off series called “Agatha: Coven of Chaos.” Hahn is married to Ethan Sandler, and they have a son and a daughter together.

Remember Adam Goldberg, who played one of Ben’s buddies, Tony? Well, after the rom-com, Goldberg continued to work in a range of films, from “Dazed and Confused” (1993) to “Saving Private Ryan” (1998) to “A Beautiful Mind” (2001). He has since focused on television, appearing in shows like “Fargo,” “Taken,” and “The Equalizer.” But here’s something you might not know: Goldberg is a talented multi-instrumentalist. In 2009, he released an album called “Eros and Omissions” featuring Flaming Lips drummer Steven Drozd. He’s also a proud father of three sons with his wife, Roxanne Daner.

Thomas Lennon, who portrayed Thayer, didn’t stop at “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” He continued his rom-com streak with films like “17 Again” (2009) and “I Love You, Man” (2009). Lennon is also known for his roles on comedy series such as the “Reno 911!” franchise and “Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.” But here’s the twist: Lennon is also an accomplished comedy screenwriter. He wrote scripts for movies like “Night at the Museum” (2006) and “Balls of Fury” (2007). On top of that, he’s a successful author, having written three young adult novels. Lennon is married to actress Jenny Robertson, and they have a son named Oliver.

Annie Parisse, who played Jeannie, had primarily been in soap operas before landing her role in the film. She has since worked steadily on TV, appearing in shows like “Vinyl” and “Friends from College.” Parisse also starred alongside Al Pacino in the 2018 film “Paterno” and graced the stage in productions like Shakespeare in the Park’s “Measure for Measure” and “All’s Well That Ends Well.” She’s married to actor Paul Sparks, and they have a son and a daughter.

Lastly, we have Bebe Neuwirth, who was already well-known for her roles on TV’s “Frasier” and on Broadway in “Chicago” (which earned her a Tony award in 1997). In “How to Lose a Guy,” she portrayed Andie’s tough boss at Composure magazine. Neuwirth has continued to work in TV, Broadway, and film. She starred in “Madame Secretary” and made a cameo appearance in Netflix’s “Tick, Tick…Boom!” (2021). Neuwirth tied the knot with director Chris Calkins in a ceremony officiated by fellow actor Peter Coyote.
