The 1997 blockbuster Titanic sailed into the hearts of audiences worldwide with its epic tale of love, loss, and tragedy. Set against the ill-fated ship’s sinking backdrop, the film masterfully blended historical events with a captivating fictional romance, leaving an indelible mark on cinema history.

Amidst the grandeur of Titanic’s sweeping narrative, it’s easy to overlook the pint-sized performer known simply as the “Little Irish Boy.” Despite having just three brief scenes and a single line of dialogue, this young actor continues to reap the rewards of his role. In a surprising revelation to Business Insider in 2018, he shared that he still receives annual royalties from Titanic, ranging from $100 to $300.
