This week, actor Macaulay Culkin approved calls from fans to remove President Donald Trump’s cameo from the 1992 classic “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”
Responding Wednesday to a Twitter user who floated the idea of replacing Trump with a 40-year-old version of Culkin, the former child star responded, “Sold.”
Trump appears for a brief moment in the movie when Kevin McAlister, played by Culkin, asks him for directions to the lobby.
The film’s director, Chris Columbus, revealed in a December 2020 interview with Insider that Trump had insisted on a cameo in exchange for the movie’s use of the Plaza Hotel, which he then owned.
“Like most locations in New York City, you just pay a fee and you are allowed to shoot in that location,” Columbus remembered.
“We approached The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time because we wanted to shoot in the lobby.
We couldn’t rebuild The Plaza on a soundstage.”
So we agreed to put him in the movie, and when we screened it for the first time the oddest thing happened: People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen. So I said to my editor, ‘Leave him in the movie.
It’s a moment for the audience.’ But he did bully his way into the movie.”
