Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey are reportedly becoming close friends while filming Fools Gold in Australia together.

A source told the National Enquirer that the two are both working and playing together: “On their day off Matthew and Kate spent ten hours together, along with the cast and crew watching football on TV in a hotel bar.”

“They came in at 6am and were there until 4pm. There was much yelling and leaping up and down.”

Matthew is also enjoying playing dad to Kate’s three year old son Ryder: “He has fallen in love with Ryder and has even offered to babysit. He said he’d work for free.”

“Kate is impressed by how fatherly Matthew is and believes he’ll make a great dad someday.”

Kate separated from her husband Chris Robinson last summer and is rumoured to have dated You, Me and Dupree co-star Owen Wilson, before finishing just before Christmas.
