Macaulay Culkin reveals his sons are still unaware he starred in 'Home Alone'

Macaulay Culkin has admitted that his two sons have still not realised that their father starred as Kevin in the iconic 1990’s Christmas movie Home Alone.

Speaking to Deadline ahead of the fan favourite film’s 35th anniversary, the 45-year-old actor revealed he continues to be amazed by fans’ reactions and the movie’s lasting fan impact, decades later.

“I’m 45 now,” he remarked. “And for other 45-year-olds out there, it’s nostalgic. But now they’re showing their kids the same way that I show it to my kids."

Talking about his young sons, whom he shares with Running Point actress Brenda Song, humorously added, "Man, they have no idea who they’re sitting next to, the entire time."

Continuing, "They just go, ‘Oh, there’s Kevin.’ They call him Kevin Disney, because of Disney+, which shows the little holiday trailer."

The Richie Rich actor further shared that while going through old family photographs with his eldest son, he immediately noticed a photo of his younger self.

“He goes, ‘Hey, that kid looks like Kevin. Who is that?’"

“I go, that’s me,” the actor explained. “And he didn’t put it together. And I’m like, ‘Good. No, no, not yet. Not that. He just thinks I looked a lot like Kevin,” Macaulay shared with the outlet.

He also acknowledged that one day his son will eventually realise the truth, but right now he is savouring the moment for as long as he can.

“It’s going to hit him, one day. He’ll watch the movie, and his system will go, ‘Wait a second’. I’m awaiting the ‘wait a second’ moment," he added.

“I’m sure some kid at recess is going to spoil it for him, like, there is no Santa Claus, that kind of thing. I’m keeping the veil up for as long as possible. ‘Hey, that kid looks like Kevin’, I go, ‘Yeah, he sure does.'”
