Macaulay Culkin Says His Kids Don’t Realize He Played Kevin in Home Alone

The anniversary moment prompted a reflection on how he shares his past work with his young family.

Overview

  • Culkin said in a Mythical Kitchen clip, reported by The Mirror, that his sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, still refer to the on‑screen boy as “Kevin” rather than recognizing him as their dad.
  • He noted the contrast with their mom, explaining the kids immediately identify Brenda Song as London Tipton when watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
  • He recounted his son pointing to a childhood family photo and saying, “that kid looks like Kevin,” suggesting they are starting to make the connection.
  • Culkin said he is trying to keep the illusion going a bit longer, likening it to preserving belief in Santa, even as he expects schoolmates will eventually reveal the truth.
  • He added that he now feels comfortable revisiting his films and makes a point of telling his children he is proud of them, while separate 35th‑anniversary chatter includes Buzz actor Devin Ratray engaging fans with reunion posts.
