Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson recently remembered their young days and recalled their past relationships with the Wilson brothers. During a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actresses revealed they met each other through Luke Wilson.

While Barrymore mentioned that the stars were “young and wild” when they first crossed paths, Hudson recalled they met at Chez Jay's bar and restaurant in Santa Monica with Luke Wilson.

The Charlie’s Angels star then revealed she was in an open relationship with Luke Wilson at the time:

"I was dating him, but I think he was also dating other people. It was an open relationship, we were young.”

She also mentioned that it was a fun time as they were “young” and had “low stakes” while casually dating other people in the industry:

“We're just young, we're having fun, we're all playing, acting, hanging out. You're not taking it all so seriously, and it was fun and we had the best time.”

Meanwhile, Hudson noted she shares the experience of dating another Wilson as she was in a relationship with Luke’s elder brother, Owen Wilson. The Almost Famous star also confessed she had a starstruck moment when she met Barrymore for the first time.
