“He said that I begged him to appear in the film, but for no reason he would beg someone who is not an actor who appeared in a film,” the director added about the brief appearance of the US president.
Chris Columbus He revealed that “he would like” to be able to eliminate the cameo from Donald Trump in My poor little angel 2.
The director revealed in an interview on Monday with San Francisco Chronicle that Trump’s brief appearance in the film has become a curse that would be able to reverse. In fact, Columbus admitted that he almost cut the scene of the second installment of My poor little angelbut decided to keep it after the public of the projection reacted positively at the moment.

The reason why Donald Trump appeared in my poor little angel 2
The director of the GOONIES He previously declared Business Insider in 2020 that he and his team allowed Trump to appear in the movie after he told them: “They can only use the square if I appear in the movie.” The president later refuted the statements in Truth Social in 2023, where he claimed that Columbus begged him to appear in the film.
Now, three decades after the film’s premiere, Columbus said the cameo has “become an albatros for me”, but they were “desperate” for filming at the Hotel Plaza at that time.
“He has become something he wish he did not exist. What happens to his head? He said he lied. I didn’t lie,” he said.
Columbus also joked saying that if “cut” the scene of the movie “would probably be expelled from the country”, although “wants to disappear.”
“I can’t cut it,” he said. “If I do, it will be considered not suitable for living in the United States, so I will have to return to Italy or something”.
