Joe Pesci Accidentally Bit Macaulay Culkin While Filming 'Home Alone'

The incident, intended to enhance the intimidation dynamic, left the young actor with a lasting scar.

Joe Pesci accidentally bit Macaulay Culkin’s finger during a scene in the 1990 holiday classic 'Home Alone,' as revealed in recent interviews.
The bite occurred while Pesci, playing a burglar, was trying to create a menacing atmosphere during an intimidation scene with the then-10-year-old Culkin.
Culkin, who still has a scar from the mishap, described seeing Pesci visibly alarmed after realizing he had actually bitten a child.
Daniel Stern, Pesci's co-star, recalled the incident, describing Pesci as deeply committed to his role but quick to apologize for the accident.
The enduring popularity of 'Home Alone' is attributed to its humor, heartwarming themes, and its appeal as a kid-empowerment story.
