Home Alone 2 Director Wishes Donald Trump Cameo ‘Would Be Gone’ and Fears Deportation: ‘It’s Become This Curse…’

by

Director Chris Columbus, who is behind Home Alone 2, expressed some significant thoughts about the Christmas-themed movie that featured a brief appearance from President Donald Trump. Although the movie received widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics, the filmmaker has indicated a desire to make certain adjustments to his cinematic production.

During a chat with the San Francisco Chronicle, the director expressed his intention to reduce Donald Trump’s appearance in the movie, but admitted concerns about potential deportation by the current government administration.

During a chat with the media outlet, Columbus expressed his desire that the particular scene had never been included. Expanding on his remarks, he stated, “It’s turned into a burden. It’s something that I regret and wish didn’t exist.” He went on to say, “It’s like a weight around my neck. I long for its removal.

In simpler terms, Columbus, who is of Italian descent, stated that if he had made a significant decision to reduce his role in the 1992 film, he could potentially face deportation and be deemed as not qualified to reside in the United States.

In simpler terms, the director elaborated by saying, “During our initial viewing, an unexpected occurrence took place – people applauded as soon as Trump appeared on-screen. Thus, I told my editor, ‘Keep him in the film. That’s a moment for the viewers.’

Initially, Columbus stated that the president was pushy about being included in the movie, claiming he had requested to be part of it. He expressed confusion as to why, if they felt pressured or didn’t want him, he was still cast and remained in the film for more than three decades. The filmmaker said this.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which followed shortly after the original movie, was a massive success at cinemas. In this continuation, we find Kevin McCallister getting separated from his family during their vacation in Florida, and finding himself in the bustling city of New York instead.
