Camila and Matthew McConaughey Recreate Iconic ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ Poster – Photo
The updated poster, cleverly titled “How to Lose Your Pants in 10 Ways,” features the actor striking a humorous pose in a suit jacket, tie, and socks — sans trousers, paying homage to the tequila brand’s name, which translates to “pants” in Spanish. Meanwhile, Camila stuns in a striking yellow silk gown, reminiscent of the iconic dress worn by Kate Hudson in the original movie.

Other users expressed mixed feelings about the recreation. “[What’s] the point? Doing it with Kate after 20 years would have been a nice picture,” one user lamented. Another commented, “[Why] not Kate??😭”
While some reactions favored Kate’s original look, others praised Camila’s beauty, with one remarking, “His wife is stunning but that dress was made for Kate ❤️,” while another insisted, “So much better with Camila! ❤️” Yet another user echoed the sentiment, “Ok, but Camila is insanely beautiful here.”

Kate humorously remarked, “So, what’s it like to kiss McConaughey? … My whole thing is, we’re always in weird environments… There was only one time when we kissed that was so nice and gentle in the bathroom.”

The gala scene from the film remains etched in fans’ memories, not only because of Andie’s stunning gown but also because of Benjamin’s heartfelt reaction when he tells her, “You’re beautiful.”
Describing the moment, Matthew wrote, “My mom’s voice began echoing in my head, ‘This is not your average woman you wave over from across the bar, son. Get your [expletive] up, and go introduce yourself.'”
As Matthew humorously recounted, “Despite my uncultured errors, I successfully got a date with her (after trying and failing twice), and almost two decades later, she’s still the only woman I’ve ever wanted to make a margarita for. And that, my friends, is how it all started – with a twist of tequila fate.”

“You want to move here, don’t you?” Matthew recalled his wife blurting out at that moment. Camila asked him that because she said that she could see “a peaceful but confident, energetic look,” on Matthew’s face as he gazed out at the Hill Country panorama.

Also, unlike the 41-year-old, Matthew, 55, knew the lay of the land. He was very familiar with the landscapes of Texas, both physically and culturally. However, Camila eventually fell in love with the state just as much as her husband.
