“I’m an easy crier,” the Golden Globe-nominated actress says: “I could look at an Instagram and start [crying]”

Kate Hudson is not afraid to get in her feelings.
The Golden Globe nominee, 46, who stars in Craig Brewer’s musical biopic Song Sung Blue alongside Hugh Jackman, 57, says the film has her crying “every day.”
“I cry every day ‘cause every time Hugh and I start talking about the movie, we get so emotional,” Hudson tells PEOPLE of her new film based on the real-life Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder.
It doesn’t take much to get Hudson there, she admits. “I cry really easy. I’m an easy crier. ... I could look at an Instagram and start [crying]. Especially [posts] of kids saying something profound will make me cry.”
“I think I probably cry at least once every other day,” she adds. “Crying is always a good thing. It really is.”
