On forging separate career paths from Connor Storrie and actively choosing not to do public things together: “It’s been really nice, because Connor and I are aligned. We want to be different artists. We don’t want to be the Olsen twins. We want to be Connor and Hudson, with different filmographies and different deals. As much as we love each other, our friendship doesn’t need to be public. Jacob [Tierney] has that quote: ‘Shane and Ilya are for the public. Connor and Hudson are for themselves.’ And that’s how we feel.”
He added, “People want to see us front row together all the time, but we actively avoid that, because it starts to feel like branding. If you’re always seen together, you become attached at the hip. I FaceTime him whenever I’m free. But if we’re offered the same fashion shows, we’re like, ‘Which one are you going to? Okay, I’ll go to a different one.’ We’re stubborn, selfish artists who want to be our own people. We’re like, ‘I love you. I don’t want to do everything with you.’”
On his biggest pinch me moment so far: “My pinch-me moment…the Golden Globes was crazy, because I got to meet all these celebrities I’d always been a fan of, and now I’m talking to them, and they know who I am. But the closest I’ve come to crying with gratitude was when I was on Evan Ross Katz’s podcast and he got Michelle Williams on the line.”
“She called into the podcast and was like, ‘I’m a fan of your work.’ I couldn’t really hear what she said. As soon as she said her name, I f-cking blacked out,” Hudson continued. “I was on the verge of tears, ready to combust. I had to hold everything down so I wouldn’t be in inconsolable sobs for the rest of the interview. Then Evan goes, ‘How does it feel that the people who inspired you might now be inspired by you?’ And I was just choking everything down, using all my willpower. I almost sobbed. That was the biggest pinch-me moment.”
