The romantic comedy that solidified Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in the pantheon of rom-com icons — and the movie that made every girl alive wonder if she could pull off a backless yellow dress — How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days hit theaters on Jan. 27, 2003.

The actress had already been nominated for an Oscar for Almost Famous several years before this movie made her a bankable superstar. She went on to star in other romantic comedies including Bride Wars, Alex & Emma and Fool's Gold (which reunited her with Matthew McConaughey).

Since the movie came out, Hudson has welcomed three kids (son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson, son Bingham with ex Matt Bellamy and, in 2019, daughter Rani Rose with now-fiancé Danny Fujikawa) and launched an activewear line (Fabletics), a ready-to-wear line (Happy x Nature) and a vodka line (King Street).

Alright, alright, alright, first things first: McConaughey has won an Oscar (in 2013, for Dallas Buyers Club) in the years since he played the charismatic guy working overtime to get Kate Hudson's Andie to fall in love with him within 10 days, despite her best efforts to sabotage their relationship.

He's also starred in many other films and TV shows, including Sahara, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and True Detective. He and wife Camila Alves married in 2012 and have had three kids together, Levi, Vida and Livingston.

The actress played the BFF whose unceremonious dumping inspired Andie to pitch the titular article in what was one of her very first roles. (Though she's not sure how she feels about it these days!)

She went on to perfect the role of the romantic comedy sidekick before moving into lead roles in films including Afternoon Delight and Bad Moms. She recently was seen getting racy on TV in Mrs. Fletcher and earned accolades for her work on WandaVision; outside of film and TV, she and husband Ethan Sandler have a son and a daughter.

Before playing one of Ben's buddies who is witness to the whole experiment going down (and almost sabotages it), Goldberg had been featured in a wide range of movies, from Saving Private Ryan to Babe: Pig in the City.

He continues to act in a variety of projects, most recently on TV in God Friended Me. He is married with two sons.
