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

In a new Kimmel interview, he explains choosing to shield his children from his famous role.

Overview

Culkin, 45, said his sons, ages three and four, love the movie but have “no idea” he is the boy on screen, and he intends to preserve that illusion for now.
He described two near-reveals: a child noticing a photo of him that looked like Kevin, and a cousin nearly telling them during a conversation about watching the film.
He said Joe Pesci accidentally bit his finger during a rehearsal on the original set, leaving a lingering scar.
He noted he performed no stunts at age nine, with an adult double handling the hazardous physical gags.
The holiday classic aired on Sat.1 in Germany and is available on Disney+, while Culkin appears in Fallout season 2 and contributes a voice role in Zootopia 2.
