When Kate Hudson appeared at the American Cinematheque Gala to honor friend and rom-com partner Matthew McConaughey, she treated the audience to an impeccable impression of the actor, beyond the standard, "Alright, alright, alright."

In her tribute, Hudson recounted a story about the two taking scuba diving lessons to prepare for their (admittedly terrible) 2008 movie Fool's Gold. The actress, who had just gone through a divorce, said she was staring at the water when McConaughey's glistening head popped up from under the surf. He then told her, "Come ooon, Hudson. Let's go, baby, uh-huh."

It's no surprise that Hudson has cultivated a perfect impression of her friend. After all, both actors have shared the spotlight in two movies back when McConaughey was known primarily as a romantic comedy actor. But 2014's McConaissance aside, let's just hope he always remembers his roots -- his ever-smirking, Southern drawl roots, that is.
