Macaulay Culkin<\/a>‘s sons still do not realise that he played Kevin McCallister in Home Alone despite them watching it “often”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Macaulay Culkin’s children still do not know their dad played Kevin McCallister in Home Alone<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old actor hopes Dakota, four, and Carson, three, do not realise that he portrayed the plucky youngster aged 10 for a long time yet.<\/p>\n

Macaulay – who said it is a \u201ccompletely different experience\u201d watching the movie his bundles of joy love – said at the 35th anniversary of the first Home Alone film at the Long Beach Terrace Theatre, as part of his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin<\/a> tour: “They have no idea that I\u2019m Kevin.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re only three and four years old, [I want] to keep up that illusion as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Dakota is starting to figure out that his dad played the leading role in the beloved 1990 Christmas film.<\/p>\n

\nThe ex-child star recalled a night when he put the four year old to bed, and he quizzed Macaulay on his seven siblings – Shane Culkin, 49, late Dakota, Kieran Culkin, 43, Quinn, 41, Christian, 38, Rory, 36, and his late paternal half-sister, Jennifer Adamson.<\/p>\n

\nMacaulay showed his son an old family photo of his seven siblings, and he remembered Dakota, “immediately looks at me and goes, \u2018That kid looks like Kevin'”.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, Dakota thinks he is Kevin.<\/p>\n

\nRecalling when Macaulay told his son memorable scenes from the movie – in which Kevin is accidentally left behind when his family leaves for France, and later defends his home from robbers Harry Lime (Joe Pesci) and Marv Murchins (Daniel Stern) – the actor said: “‘Do you remember when you kicked burglars out?\u2019 And he’s like, \u2018Yep.\u2019 \u2018You slide down the stairs?\u2019 \u2018I sure do.\u2019 I was like, \u2018You liar! That was me.'”<\/p>\n

\nAnd Macaulay – who also played Kevin in the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – enjoys watching the original movie with Dakota and Carson, whom he has with his 37-year-old fiancee, actress Brenda Song<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “Yeah, I do really love watching that movie with my boys.”<\/p>\n

\nMacaulay reprised his iconic character in the Home But Not Alone campaign for Home Instead, a firm that offers in-home care for older adults.<\/p>\n

\nThe ad – which honours the original movie’s 35th anniversary – sees Kevin protect his mom, Kate McCallister (Catherine O’Hara), from potential dangers in their home.<\/p>\n
