Overview
- Culkin, 45, said he stepped away in 1994 because he wanted to date, attend parties and spend time with peers after missing typical teen milestones.
- He described many Home Alone days as working by himself, joking the experience felt like Castaway and noting he shared only a few scenes with Joe Pesci.
- Reflecting on early celebrity, he said fame is a bell you cannot un‑ring and compared it to toothpaste you cannot put back in the tube.
- He recounted that Pesci once bit his finger during rehearsal, leaving a small scar he still has, which Pesci later apologized for.
- Culkin remains open to revisiting Kevin McCallister if a new take feels right, floating a character‑driven premise, though no sequel is in development.
