Stepping off the set of her upcoming comedy "Born to Be King," Kate Hudson took a beat to cover the November 2013 issue of Shape magazine.
After flaunting her flawless figure for the Niño Munoz-shot spread, the "Raising Helen" beauty dished about her love for dancing and shared advice that Kurt Russell gave her when she started acting.
Check out a few highlights from Miss Hudson's interview below. For more, be sure to visit Shape!
On her dance workouts:
"It's the basis of what I do for exercise because it's dance-oriented- and, as you saw at the shoot, I love to dance. It's my creative outlet. My heart is really in comtemporary jazz, but lately I've been ballroom dancing with Derek Hough [from 'Dancing With the Stars']. It's been a real blast."
On her exercise schedule:
"I'd sleep in for an extra three hours and hope my kids let me. Next, I'd work out and take a sauna. Then I'd probably want to get in the pool with the kids. After that I'd read, followed by watching 'Downton Abbey' while eating a big bag of Pirates Booty. That would be my perfect day. My new thing is that I always carry a jump rope with me. Then whenever i have a break during the day, I'll just jump. I can either sit around looking at my phone or I can jump!"
On her love for food:
"I've eaten in all sorts of different ways over the years. I like to do juice cleanses twice a year for five to seven days, or food elimination cleanses where I just eat super clean. That's really the only time when I'm very strict. Other than that, anything. I just love food. I love bread. I love pasta."
On her worries about aging in Hollywood:
"Not at all. In fact, I'm finding that the parts are more interesting as I get older, which is great because I'm planning to do it for the rest of my life. I remember Kurt [Russell] asking me when I was younger, 'Why are you choosing to act? Because if you're doing it for stardom, it's a very small window. If you're choosing it because you love it, you're in the right profession.' And that's true of any career, actually."
