‘I Had No Idea What The Movie Was…’: Home Alone Star Keiran Culkin Reveals His Experience Of Working On Popular Christmas Film

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood stories, I find it fascinating how Keiran Culkin‘s experience on the set of Home Alone mirrors that of many child actors. Unlike his elder brother Macaulay, who was the lead character and probably had a clear understanding of the film’s plot, Keiran seemed to be blissfully unaware!

Kieran Culkin is recognized for portraying one of the children in the Home Alone film series. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actor revealed that when he initially joined the production, he didn’t fully grasp the nature of the movie itself. As a young boy, upon watching the finished film, Culkin found his own scenes hilarious and couldn’t help but laugh at them due to their comedic appeal.

During an interview with news outlet Culkin, the actor mentioned that he was of the same age as his older brother Macaulay Culkin’s character in the film. Regarding his role, the youngster admitted, “I hadn’t a clue about the movie when I first saw it, and yet I was part of it.” He went on to say, “I attended the premiere and was rolling with laughter. It was the funniest thing I had ever witnessed. I still didn’t know what the film was about.

The film set during Christmas tells the tale of a young lad unintentionally left at home while his parents embark on their vacation flight. Alone but spirited, he encounters and humorously outwits burglars and ruffians throughout the story.

After achieving fame in the ’90s movie, Culkin continued to secure roles in films such as Succession, A Real Agony, and The Groom’s Father.

Furthermore, in reference to his role in Home Alone, the actor revealed that the producers requested him to don certain props to portray the character as a child. He explained, “They told me to drink this Coke, wear these glasses, repeat the lines I had memorized, look adorable, and then head home.

The actor also shared that initially he was given a wrong cue about the film. He recalled, “Devin Ratray, the guy who plays Buzz, lied to me and told me the movie was all about him.” Culkin went on to say,  “And I believed him. And then when I saw it, the movie’s cracking me up, and I go, ‘Mac was on set all the time. That makes sense the movie would be about him.'”

Home Alone is available to watch on streaming platforms.
