Macaulay Culkin recently shared a heartwarming and amusing anecdote about his son Dakota, who has become thoroughly convinced that he is the character Kevin McCallister from the beloved film Home Alone.
Dakota, just three years old, not only enjoys watching the iconic Christmas movie but truly believes he was the one to fend off burglars in the family home, much like his father did in the 1990 classic. Culkin, who portrayed Kevin as a child, humorously recounted how he convinced his son that he had done the famous sled stunt and fought off the bad guys, despite Dakota’s tender age and lack of memory of the events. In true playful spirit, Culkin teased his son, calling him a “lying liar” for claiming credit for the heroic actions.
This revelation comes as Culkin continues to embrace the legacy of Home Alone, a film that has become synonymous with the holiday season. While Culkin once resisted the association, he now happily acknowledges his integral role in one of the most iconic Christmas films of all time. The movie has left such a lasting mark that Culkin’s son, too, finds joy in identifying with Kevin, bringing a new generation into the fold of this festive classic
