Kate Hudson is very familiar with Matthew McConaughey’s scent.

On a July 17 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,

the actress and singer, 45, spoke on swirling rumor about her former costar’s body odor.

“Was that old urban legend true that you forced Matthew McConaughey to

wear deodorant while filming Fool’s Gold?” asked host Andy Cohen as he read a fan-submitted question. 

No. He doesn’t wear deodorant — and by the way, I don’t either,” Hudson confessed.

She did, however, admit that she could smell the actor “from a mile [away

adding they "got so close" while filming.

in a past interview with Playboy,

said Hudson (with whom he also starred in the 2003 film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) would “always”

ask him to use salt rock, which can help eliminate odors, she’d bring to set. He never obliged.
