Kate HudsonKate Hudson has said she thinks Matthew McConaughey will be a great dad when his first child is born later this year.

Last month Matthew revealed that he and girlfriend Camila Alves “made a baby” and the child is due in the late summer.

Speaking about her Fool’s Gold co-star recently, Kate said: “I think he will be an incredible dad.”

“I think because people see Matthew always out doing something whether [it’s] out dancing in a bar or being on the beach or taking a hike with some crazy bandana on, I think that, like anything, they take their image and what they want somebody else to be and then they just run with that.”

“[But] Matthew happens to be one of the most loving and loyal people I know and his family is important to him.”

“He’s great with kids and I think he’ll be a very responsible and absolute blast of a dad.”
