Macaulay Culkin Reveals Kids’ Love for ‘Home Alone’ at Q&A

UPDATE: Macaulay Culkin just shared heartwarming insights into his iconic film ‘Home Alone’ during a recent screening and Q&A event at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, celebrating the movie’s 35th anniversary. The event has sparked excitement among fans as Culkin revealed that his children affectionately refer to the character as ‘Kevin.’

Culkin, now 45 years old, expressed how his sons, Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, are enthralled by the film. “They don’t even call it ‘Home Alone,’ they call it ‘Kevin.’ They’re like, ‘Wow, Kevin’s really funny,’” he said. However, he keeps the magic alive by not revealing his connection to the character, stating, “I try to keep the magic alive.”

During the Q&A, a nostalgic Culkin recounted a touching moment when his eldest son saw an old family photo. “He looks right at me, and he goes, ‘Who’s that? That looks like Kevin,’” Culkin shared. This heartfelt interaction underscores the film’s enduring impact on new generations.

Reflecting on his own childhood acting experience, Culkin expressed gratitude towards his partner, actress Brenda Song, who he credits with providing him purpose and family. Accepting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023, he praised Song, saying, “You’ve given me all my purpose. You’ve given me family.”

Culkin’s perspective on ‘Home Alone’ has evolved significantly since becoming a father. He now relates to Catherine O’Hara’s character, who desperately tries to reunite with her son. “Seeing how desperately and how hard she’s trying to get home resonates with me now,” he explained.

Fans of all ages are eager to learn how Culkin experiences the film with his children. “People always ask me if I watch ‘Home Alone’ with my kids,” he noted, affirming, “Of course, this movie is awesome. But I don’t watch the movie, I watch them.” He finds joy in witnessing their reactions, saying, “It makes me really proud to be a part of something like that.”

Culkin’s poignant reflections and the enduring legacy of ‘Home Alone’ have sparked renewed interest in the film, making it a must-watch for families this holiday season.
