Today's dose of early 2000s nostalgia [1] is brought to you by Andie Anderson and Ben Barry — er, Kate Hudson [2] and Matthew McConaughey [3] — so strap in and get ready for a hilarious walk down memory lane. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days [4] costars just shared an Instagram exchange that has fans of the romantic comedy [5] ready to frost themselves. On June 27, which just so happens to be Take Your Houseplant For a Walk Day, Hudson decided to celebrate the little-known holiday by referencing her character's infamous "love fern."
The actress shared a clip from the movie scene [6] in which Ben suggests he and Andie go to couples therapy after she storms out of his poker night get-together with her precious, limp love fern in hand. (You can watch it above to refresh your memory.) Hudson captioned the snippet on Instagram: "Heard it was #TakeYourPlantForAWalkDay So, clearly I thought of one of my favorite co-stars... #TheLoveFern 🌿" In no time, McConaughey chimed in by commenting, "Hate to see you leave, but love to watch you go. #ThatDamnFern 🌿"
I mean, this is worth the whole damn Isadora Diamond and then some. Now, please excuse me while I go rewatch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days for the zillionth time.
