Kate Hudson<\/a> has revealed the truth about her surprise cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old actor <\/a>was just a young teen when she was a part of the 1992 holiday classic. Try as you might to spot her on screen<\/a>, you won\u2019t, as she was actually a part of the children\u2019s choir. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not in it,\u201d the Bride Wars star<\/a> clarified on a recent episode of Entertainment Weekly\u2019s<\/a> The Awardist podcast. \u201cI\u2019m on the soundtrack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hudson sang as part of the children\u2019s choir<\/a> featured in the movie\u2019s opening act, in which Macaulay Culkin\u2019s Kevin McAllister shoves his older brother, Buzz, causing the children to fall off the stands like dominoes. <\/p>\n

Asked if the recording session included any other names that would go on to achieve fame, Hudson said she couldn\u2019t remember. <\/p>\n

Kate Hudson was a young teen when she made a cameo in the 1992 ‘Home Alone’ sequel (Getty)<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. I was so little. I was like… seven?\u201d she said. \u201cSeven or eight? Ten?\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Hudson, born in 1979, was around 12 or 13 years old during the film\u2019s production. <\/p>\n

While her participation in Chris Columbus\u2019s beloved family comedy<\/a> came years before her official screen debut in a 1996 episode of Party of Five, the Oscar-nominated Almost Famous star previously shared that she still gets residuals from the role. <\/p>\n

\u201cI still get residuals from Home Alone 2 because I sang in the chorus. I\u2019m in that chorus, and then I get 10 cents every once in a while,\u201d Hudson said last year. <\/p>\n

Hudson and Hugh Jackman lead \u2018Song Sung Blue\u2019 as real-life couple Mike and Claire Sardina (\u00a9 2025 Focus Features, LLC. All Rights Reserved.)<\/p>\n

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actor currently leads the musical drama biopic Song Sung Blue opposite Hugh Jackman<\/a>. The pair play real-life couple Mike and Claire Sardina, two down-on-their-luck performers who form a Neil Diamond tribute band. <\/p>\n

Hudson\u2019s critically acclaimed performance<\/a> is expected to put her in the Oscar race for Best Actress at the 2026 ceremony. Should she land the coveted nomination, it would be her first in 25 years, since Almost Famous. <\/p>\n

In her two-star review,The Independent\u2019s Clarisse Loughrey <\/a>found that \u201cJackman and Hudson are well cast here,\u201d adding: \u201cThey\u2019re plugged into a high-octane wholesomeness, all apple pie smiles and her bouncy Wisconsin accent. They have strong voices, though they never really carry the giddiness of love.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the movie itself, she felt, was \u201cpoorly framed\u201d by director Craig Brewer. <\/p>\n

\u201cEnough of its improbable events are true that the film feels licensed to gussy up this story of Wisconsin big dreamers in whichever ways it likes,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBut the problem with this brand of Hollywood tale is that, by excessively romanticizing their subjects, they diminish their humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377698,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":{"0":"post-377697","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377697"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377697\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
