Sophie joked with him that he was the “worst walker on the runway,” but was surprised to find out that the internet actually said those comments.

“I was the worst walker on the runway, and that’s a great question, because it felt daunting. In the moment, I didn’t really feel scared. I was just like, ‘F–k.’ All the other guys had heels and platforms. I only had flat boots, because I couldn’t walk,” Hudson said. “They were normal, flat-ass boots. But then they buttoned a ski-boot ankle warmer on, so I couldn’t move my ankle. My ankle did not articulate. I didn’t practice my walk.”

He continued, “I don’t really get nervous before these things. I only get mad afterwards that I didn’t get nervous. So I was like, ‘F–k, I would have practiced if I knew I was going to get shat on that hard.’ And I saw people just go, ‘Who the f–k is this guy?’ And I was like…I know. I know.”

“Some people were like, ‘Face card, no walk card.’ I had so much salt. I was trying to [channel] models who do high fashion, the stiff, robot walk. But then Dsquared2 is a fun show where you’re meant to swag it up. And I was like, I could have swagged it up. I could have walked with umph,” Hudson said.
