She might be known as a serial man kisser, but Kate Hudson has laughed off this reputation of hers, claiming that in reality she is quite strait-laced, when it comes to men.

In fact, the 28-year-old actress considers that it is these “gossips” that are responsible for wildly exaggerating her behaviour with guys on single nights out.

While the ‘Fool’s Gold’ star has admitted that she was never shy as far as men are concerned, with time she has mellowed down and has become more reserved in the company of single males.

“There are a lot of gossips who like to think that I’m a snogger (deep kisser), but I’m pretty prudish,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

She added: “I need to find that 18-year-old in me again, who was way more adventurous when it came to kissing boys. I’m not really like that anymore.”
