Kate Hudson is still cashing in on one of her earliest acting gigs.

On Monday's episode of her Sibling Revelry podcast, which she co-hosts with brother Oliver Hudson, the Knives Out star swapped stories with guest Joey Lawrence about getting started in showbiz as young kids.

Lawrence — who was also joined by brothers Matthew and Andy — shared how he had to memorize a long monologue for an audition when he was just 5 years old. He ended up nailing it and booking a commercial for Cracker Jack, which led to another 50 national commercials in his first year.

After Kate, 44, asked Lawrence, 47, if he still gets residuals for any of his old ads, she revealed that she is still receiving checks — albeit small ones — for one of her childhood jobs.

"I still get residuals from Home Alone 2 because I sang in the chorus," she said of the 1992 holiday classic starring Macaulay Culkin. "I'm in that chorus, and then I get 10 cents every once in a while."

Lawrence joked about his equally small payments. "Sometimes I'll get, like, 2 cents and I'm like, 'Wait. Doesn't the envelope and paper cost more?' "

"At least they're being fair and honest," Kate replied.

The Lawrence brothers were unaware of Kate's cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and said they would now need to do a rewatch of the film to see her. While Oliver, 47, knew all about her early movie moment, the two siblings previously admitted that they don't typically watch each other's work.

Appearing together on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in January 2022, host Stephen Colbert asked Kate if she had watched her brother in his show The Cleaning Lady, which was airing at the time. Oliver immediately replied that Kate wasn't watching the series, but she said she did catch one episode.

"I watched the first one," she insisted. "I haven't seen the second episode yet. I've watched an episode so far. I watched the first. It's very good."

Oliver then assured Colbert, 59, that he had no hard feelings about it. "I'm gonna let [Kate] off the hook here," he said. "We don't watch each other's stuff. I haven't seen — I've seen maybe a third of her movies."

Kate chimed in, teasing, "Or, truth be told, you haven't seen any of them," before explaining that "the novelty has kind of worn off" in their family full of actors, which includes their mom Goldie Hawn, stepdad Kurt Russell and half-brother Wyatt Russell.

"There's so much work that's being done," she added, before Oliver joked, "You've seen one movie of hers, you've seen 'em all."
