Macaulay Culkin\u2019s Kids Don\u2019t Know He Was Kevin McCallister<\/p>\n

To the world, Macaulay Culkin may always be Kevin McCallister. To his children, however, he is simply dad.<\/p>\n

During a stop on his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the original Home Alone film, the 45-year-old actor revealed that while he often watches the classic movie with his young sons, they have yet to realize that the mischievous Kevin on screen is him at age 10.<\/p>\n

Culkin, who shares sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, with fianc\u00e9e Brenda Song, said the boys \u201creally love\u201d the film. He described the experience of watching it with them as \u201ccompletely different\u201d from seeing it himself or with other fans, highlighting the unique perspective of introducing his iconic role to a new generation.<\/p>\n

While the boys get excited when they see the young Kevin character in montages on Disney+, where Home Alone is available to stream, Culkin said, \u201cThey have no idea that I\u2019m Kevin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re only three and four years old,\u201d he added, noting that he wants \u201cto keep up that illusion as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Culkin did reveal, however, that his eldest son has begun connecting the dots, though he\u2019s not fully there yet. The former child star recounted a bedtime moment with his 4-year-old, who began asking about Culkin\u2019s siblings. In response, Culkin showed him an old family photo of all seven of his brothers and sisters. \u201cHe immediately looks at me and goes, \u2018That kid looks like Kevin,\u2019\u201d Culkin recalled. His son quickly moved on, reinforcing Culkin\u2019s desire to maintain the \u201cillusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor also shared a humorous exchange with his eldest, Dakota, who has begun to think of him as Kevin. \u201c\u2018Do you remember when you kicked burglars out?\u2019 And he\u2019s like, \u2018Yep.\u2019 \u2018You slide down the stairs?\u2019 \u2018I sure do.\u2019 I was like, \u2018You liar! That was me,\u2019\u201d Culkin remembered, laughing at the father-son moment.<\/p>\n

Culkin also shared a tender moment with his eldest, Dakota, in which they both mimicked a dance move Kevin performs in the film. \u201cYeah, I do really love watching that movie with my boys,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Culkin rose to fame playing the resourceful Kevin McCallister in the 1990 original Home Alone and its 1992 sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Beyond reflecting on the legacy of the films during his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour, he recently reprised the iconic role for a commercial with Home Instead.<\/p>\n

Culkin and fianc\u00e9e Brenda Song, 37, are known for being fiercely private about their children. Song told Bustle in a January 2025 cover story that the couple intentionally shields their sons from public attention. She recalled an incident at a soccer game when her son asked, \u201cWhy is that man taking pictures of you, mama?\u201d Song reflected, \u201cYou could take pictures of me all day. I don\u2019t care. But when it\u2019s your kids, it\u2019s different. They didn\u2019t ask for this life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
