McConaughey said shooting underwater scenes for Fool's Gold in Australia had to be halted for a fortnight in case of attack.
He told WENN: "We couldn't be in the water for two weeks because this wild jellyfish came through and ran everyone out of the water.
"It was an iricongi jellyfish, about the size of your pinky nail. We kept moving our locations, running from the iricongi."
Hudson added: "They are these tiny, quarter-inch jellyfish that are totally translucent and you can't even see them - but they're deadly.
"The Australians say it's not the sting that kills you, it's the pain. They are these deadly jellyfish which literally can put you in the hospital for three days on a morphine drip."
The actress claimed that McConaughey will be a great dad after he announced that he is expecting a baby with girlfriend Camila Alves.
