As a fan who grew up watching Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone,” it’s heartwarming to see him reflect on his iconic role and the impact it has had on his life. It’s fascinating to learn that he considered buying the famous McCallister house, transforming it into a “movie fun house.” I can only imagine the memories he would have made there, reliving his childhood while creating new ones with his own family.
Macaulay Culkin is best known for playing Kevin, the main character, in the movie “Home Alone“. This child character famously handled two burglars all by himself in the comedy classic that has become synonymous with Christmas. The massive McCallister house where most of the action takes place is instantly recognizable to viewers worldwide.
In May 2024, a house situated in Winnetka, Illinois was put on the market. This news didn’t go unnoticed by Macaulay Culkin, who had developed an interest in this property due to its association with his career and childhood memories. Notably, he recently attended a performance of Home Alone at Illinois’ Rosemont Theater. During the show, he shared that he was contemplating purchasing the famous house, planning to transform it into a “movie-themed amusement park” (as reported by The New York Times).
I had half a mind to buy it – just for giggles.
He decided against purchasing a home in Winnetka because he already has a family with two kids and doesn’t have the time to manage such projects.
I got kids. I’m busy, man.
In June, the well-known property located in Winnetka, initially listed at $5.25 million, was successfully purchased after being on the real estate market for just a single week.
Macaulay Culkin took part in an event titled “A Nostalgic Evening with Macaulay Culkin“, where he visited different cities for screenings of “Home Alone” and interactive Q&A sessions, including one with himself. During these occasions, he was more than willing to address questions and discuss his past experiences and filmmaking methods that made him famous. In his own words, the films that once seemed both a blessing and a burden for him have undergone a transformation in his perspective due to becoming a father.
Now, I view the movie from a fresh perspective due to that instance. Essentially, I see it through their eyes – I watch it alongside them. Yet, they remain oblivious to my presence.
At this moment, the actor finds himself reminiscing fondly over the movie “Home Alone”, a film he’s re-experiencing with his kids, as he himself confessed in interviews.
