‘Home Alone 2’ Director Chris Columbus Says Trump Cameo Is A “Curse” He Wishes He Could Cut


Chris Columbus has said that the Donald Trump scene in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' is like an albatros around his neck.

The American director admitted that his decision to include the U.S. president in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is akin to a curse on the much-loved franchise. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Columbus said he would like to cut the seven-second cameo from the 1992 movie, but worries he will be deported by the Trump administration. The scene made the final cut, with Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister asking Trump for directions to the lobby.
