Oliver Hudson and Robyn Lively are known, partly, because of their relationships to their famous siblings. While they wouldn’t have it any other way, there is a bit of “envy” for that major level of fame. Hudson, whose younger siblings include Kate Hudson and Wyatt Russell, noted that he’s happy for their success but is not ashamed to admit that he have envy about their fame.

In the latest episode of Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson iHeartRadio podcast Sibling Rivalry, released on Sunday, April 7, Oliver was joined by Robyn Lively while his sister was away working on a project. The episode, titled A Lively Conversation, saw the pair discussing what it's really like to have mega famous siblings.

During their conversation, Hudson admitted that while he’s happy for his siblings, notably Kate and Wyatt Russell, he does wish he could see the same level of success. “There’s always a part of me that’s just like, ‘F--- , man. Why can’t I do that? I wanna do a role like that. I wanna work with people like that. I wanna make that kinda money,’” he said.

“But f--- , I’m not afraid to admit that I have envy,” he added to which Lively replied, “It’s there. I totally understand that, for sure.".

“But that hustle is real. My sister’s life — it’s a lot. It’s a lot of work to maintain that,” Lively said of her younger sibling, Blake Lively

She also said that witnessing the Gossip Girl actress’ rise has been the “most unexpected” because of how reserved she was in her younger days.

“She was very shy. And so it just happened… and I can not believe it,” Robyn said of Blake with a laugh. "But she and I are like — she’s my best friend. We are so close.”
