Pop beauty Katy Perry has revealed that she and namesake Kate Hudson are good friends and often hang out together. 

The 'Roar' superstar', whose real name is Katheryn Hudson, told Sirius XM that she has grown close to the actress and they love to spend time playing games and doing low-key things when they can:

"When we text, it's like 'Hudson here'. We are buds and we get along. We have become friends and go to game nights together, we play this game called Mafia... we play it all the time. We stopped going to clubs and we started staying home and having game nights, which is really fun. And she is super cool, she is gorgeous, to die for."

Perry added that spending down time away from the public eye is important as it helps to keep her grounded and she also visits her hometown of Santa Barbara as it gives her the same feeling:

"My hometown is a lot of the reason why I get to kind of go back to the feeling of when I was a teenager, when I was 13 and I picked up the guitar and was inspired by music. And I still am inspired by music but it’s nice I get to go home to Santa Barbara and feel like Katheryn Hudson, which is who I really am."
