“Kevin – Home Alone”: Kieran Culkin protects his children from it

Kieran Culkin (42) has revealed why his children don’t know the popular Christmas films of his brother Macaulay Culkin (44). The 42-year-old played a small role alongside his brother in “Home Alone” from 1990 and the sequel “Home Alone” from 1992. Kieran was then seen as a cousin of Macaulay Culkin’s main character Kevin McCallister.

The “Succession” star, who has daughter Kinsey (5) and son Wilder (3) with his wife Jazz Charton (36), said that there were “some scary parts” in the two films for his children. He cited the big spider and the guy who says, “I’ll bite all your fingers off” as examples. That’s scary for a three-year-old, explained Kieran Culkin. But he added: “We think they’ll be ready for Home Alone this year. If not, then next year.”

Kieran Culkin recently looked back on his time filming the Christmas classic. He revealed that he didn’t fully understand the plot of the film at the time. “I had no idea what the movie was about when I saw it, and I played in it,” the actor recalled. “I went to the premiere and laughed my ass off. It was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. I had no idea what the movie was about.”

He added of Home Alone: ​​”Devin Ratray, the guy who plays Buzz, lied to me and told me the movie was all about him, and I believed him. And when I did When I saw the film, I was thrilled and thought, ‘Mac was on set the whole time. That makes sense that the film is about him.'” Macaulay Culkin became a world-famous child star for his role as Kevin. Kieran Culkin only celebrated great success later. Between 2018 and 2023 he played a leading role in the series “Succession”, for which he received a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy.
