Beloved actorMacaulay Culkinhas shared his experience showing one of his children the Christmas classic,Home Alone. And Culkin could not resist a little prank while doing so. Speaking withETat his recent Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, Culkin said that he managed to convince his son that he was the child in the movie…and that his son couldn’t help but be persuaded. See what Culkin had to say below…
“I already showed it to him last year, he thinks it’s so funny. I convinced my oldest that he’s the kid in the movie. I said, ‘Remember you had yellow hair? Remember when you were getting the bad guys?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah!’ He is such a liar. I’m like, ‘You don’t remember any of that.'”
Of course,Home Aloneis such a cherished childhood holiday favorite that no doubt many of us have felt like we too were Kevin McCallister, the capable eight-year-old who foils the burgling duo the Wet Bandits in the first movie. So, you may’t really blame Culkin’s son for falling for his father’s jape. Especially when the real Kevin McCallister is sitting right next to him.
Released way back in 1990,Home Alonecomes courtesy of director Chris Columbus and writer and producer John Hughes. Starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O’Hara, the story follows a kid who is accidently left alone over Christmas and must stop a pair of burglars from breaking into his house.
Home Alone, and its equally beloved sequelHome Alone 2: Lost in New York, now sit at the top ofmany a ‘Christmas Favorites’ list.

“Macaulay Culkin has been a staple in pop culture for decades,” stated Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “He has an extensive trajectory of work but his movie, “Home Alone” is one of the most beloved holiday movies known the world over. How fitting that Catherine O’Hara who played Macaulay’s mother in the film is reuniting with her movie son and will be speaking at the ceremony!”
Culkin’s family were in attendance at the event, with the actor saying that his wife and sons were “the whole reason to do this.”
“It’s the reason pretty much to do anything now. We always talk about how we don’t remember our life before our kids – it’s a dream or a distant kind of concept, not a reality. I love the fact that my boys can come here and see a dog pee on my name.”
Culkin has recently starred in several hit small screen projects, includingAmerican Horror Story: Double Feature, The Righteous Gemstones, and Kid Cudi’s adult animated music television specialEntergalactic.
