Kate Hudson is embracing getting older.
During a Thursday, April 23, appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss season 2 of Running Point, the host, 51, wished Hudson, who turned 47 on April 19, a “happy belated birthday.”
“Thank you! I’m so old,” Hudson responded.
“Oh, please!” commented Fallon.
“No I love it,” continued Hudson. “I like getting … I really think I’m going to be a great old person … Because I like it, because it gets better, so you don’t have to care as much.”
Fallon then asked the star how she celebrated the day, saying, “Did you have a rager? Did you have a party?”
“I had a crawfish boil,” Hudson responded, which prompted giggles from the audience. “And I had a beignet cake. I got my crawfish in because yeah, I had to do that every crawfish season … Have you ever had a boil? It’s so fun … They boil it up and there’s corn, there’s sausage and potatoes and we just throw it on and listen to music.
Fallon noted that the gathering sounded “so fun,” with Hudson adding, “It’s the best.”
Earlier this year, Hudson shared how she “just let myself be and enjoyed life," while preparing for her Oscar-nominated role in Song Sung Blue as Claire Cartwright-Sardina, a.k.a. Thunder.

Hudson also revealed that she "stayed away from skincare routines."
