Was Kate Hudson adamant that she wanted to be part of Rian Johnson's Glass Onion?
Glass Onion’s Birdie opened up about whether she was adamant to be a part of the film. “I slipped the script and we knew that this part was going to be cast, and I was like, ‘get me in the room,’” Hudson said during a virtual press conference recently. “Rian said, sure, come on in the room. Let’s see what you can do with Birdie,” Hudson added.
Kate Hudson said to Rian Johnson: I know I can deliver the goods for you
Illustrating his work experience on the sets of Glass Onion, Kate Hudson told Vanity Fair, “It felt that way when I read it! I had this great theater coach, Milton Katselas, who I used to study with, and he was hardcore. I remember in his masterclass, one of the things he would talk about is, “You’ve got to know where your sweet spot is, and not shy away from it.”
“I remember reading Birdie, and I was in my sweet spot. [I’ve] been waiting on the sideline. It’s been hard. Because of the way my career has gone, the movies that I’ve wanted to make are not the movies that I’ve been getting. And so with Rian, it was really like, if you just put me in the game, I know I can deliver the goods for you,” he said.

Kate Hudson and her challenges as ‘Birdie’
In the film, Kate Hudson essays the role of Birdie Jay, a supermodel turned fashion designer. Speaking about her character in the film, Kate said to Vanity Fair, “The challenge for Birdie was how to ground her. Characters that are larger than life on the page don’t work as well if they’re not grounded or rooted in some purpose for their behavior. That for me was the fun part—this deep need to seek validation, to need to be loved, be seen, to be at the center of everyone’s love.”
“Where does that come from? For any character that could be quite unlikable; it’s those things that ground it that make you have a little bit more empathy for this terrible person who is just oblivious to the way she walks, and moves through life. And that part to me is the most important. When I read it, it was the hats, the bathing suit, the outfit, and walking out with the outfit. That was all there,” Kate said to Vanity Fair
Rian Johnson takes inspiration from Agatha Christie
While scripting the mystery thriller, director Rian Johnson revealed that she took inspiration from author Agatha Christie’s works.
"When Daniel Craig and I were making the first one, even when we were on set, we were just having such a good time," Johnson said at a press conference, as reported by Yahoo. "We were like, if this does even moderately well, it’d be really fun to keep making these," Johnson said.
Johnson added, "The mode in which we were thinking to keep making them was always not to continue the story of the first one, but to treat them the way Agatha Christie treated her books and to do an entirely new mystery every time. A new location, a new rogues gallery of characters... It’s not just a change of whodunit. She was mixing genres. She was throwing crazy narrative spins that had never been done in whodunits before. She was really keeping the audience on their toes."
