Macaulay Culkin Reflects on Early Fame as 'Home Alone' Marks 35 Years

He keeps his role as Kevin from his young sons to preserve the movie's magic.

Overview

  • Culkin says he stepped away from acting at 14 to spend time with peers and live a normal teenage life.
  • He described fame as irreversible, summarizing it as a bell you "can't un-ring."
  • At anniversary events, he shared that his sons, ages three and four, enjoy "Kevin" without knowing he played the character, which he intentionally maintains.
  • He recounted that Joe Pesci bit his finger during a rehearsal on the original film, leaving a small scar that remains.
  • He outlined a tentative, character-focused sequel idea for an older Kevin but emphasized there is no script, studio commitment, or production timeline.
