“I still get residuals fromHome Alone 2because I sang in the chorus,” she said of the 1992 holiday classic starringMacaulay 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 inHome Alone 2: Lost in New Yorkand 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 onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbertin January 2022, hostStephen Colbertasked Kate if she had watched her brother in his showThe 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 momGoldie Hawn, stepdadKurt Russelland half-brotherWyatt 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.”
