"I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not"
About this Quote
The subtext is industry-savvy. Actors are expected to be grateful for the roles that made them famous, but also to prove they’re larger than those roles. Hudson threads that needle by sounding casual, even mildly amused, instead of resentful. The phrasing keeps it friendly - no scorched-earth critique of the genre, no “I outgrew it” pretension. It’s a soft refusal packaged as relatability.
Context matters: rom-coms have cycled between dominance, decline, and nostalgia-fueled reboot, with audiences simultaneously craving comfort and demanding “elevated” takes. Hudson’s comment meets that moment. It lets her claim an off-screen identity separate from the products she’s sold, while still leaving the door open for the right script. It’s less a diss than a reminder that a persona can be profitable and still not be personal.
