Did Macaulay Culkin Consider Buying Home Alone House? Actor Reveals

by

As a child of the ’90s, Macaulay Culkin‘s performance as Kevin McCallister in Home Alone holds a special place in my heart. The idea of him buying the iconic Winnetka III house would have been an incredible full-circle moment. However, his decision not to purchase it was a bit disappointing, but understandable given his busy life with two children and all.

More recently, Macaulay Culkin shared an anecdote regarding his contemplation of acquiring the Home Alone house. If this had actually transpired, it would have represented a complete circle of events. However, the actor ultimately decided against purchasing the property.

At a screening event held at the Illinois Rosemont Theatre, Culkin disclosed this tidbit. According to The New York Times, during the event, the actor mentioned his discovery that the iconic Winnetka III house had been listed for sale in May. He also expressed his interest in potentially purchasing that home.

In the report, I learned that the actor shared an amusing thought during the event: “I was almost tempted to purchase it for a laugh.” The actor expressed his intention to transform his previous fictional house into a ‘cinematic playhouse,’ where visitors could slide down the stairs much like his character, Kevin McCallister, did in the film.

Regarding his decision not to purchase a new house, he explained that he has children to take care of. This actor is father to two kids with Brandi Song. Additionally, he mentioned that his schedule keeps him quite occupied.

At the Rosemont show, Culkin discussed how his perspective on the Home Alone franchise has shifted significantly due to fatherhood. Now, he views the movie differently and experiences it through a unique lens. He explained, “I watch it alongside them, and they are completely oblivious to my presence.

In a more simplified manner, Culkin’s performances in the Home Alone movies significantly enriched everyone’s childhood by making those memories unforgettable. Although he doesn’t own the iconic house from the films, the scenes that unfolded within it, thanks to his impact on us as viewers during our youth, will continue to resonate vividly for many years to come.
