Macaulay Culkin Says His Young Sons Don't Know He Was 'Home Alone's' Kevin

He discussed keeping the secret during a Jimmy Kimmel interview to let them discover it in their own time.

Overview

  • Culkin, 45, said his three- and four-year-old sons love the film but have not realized he played Kevin, and he hopes to preserve that illusion for now.
  • He recounted two close calls, including a family photo that prompted a lookalike question and a cousin who nearly identified him to the children.
  • The actor said Joe Pesci once bit his finger during a rehearsal for the first film, adding that he still has a small scar from the incident.
  • He noted that an adult stuntman named Larry handled the dangerous gags because he was nine at the time and did not perform stunts himself.
  • Culkin highlighted current roles in Fallout season 2 and as a voice in Zootopia 2, and said he could imagine a third Home Alone film.
