Kieran Culkin Explains Why He Had 'No Idea' What Home Alone Was About When He Made the Movie with Brother Macaulay

Kieran Culkin reflected on making 'Home Alone' with brother Macaulay, noting that he "had no idea what the movie was about" until he attended the 1990 premiere.

Home Alone is now considered a holiday classic, but when the film first came out in 1990, one of its stars Kieran Culkin didn't fully grasp its plot. "I had no idea what that movie was about when I saw it, and I was in it,” Culkin, 42, told the Los Angeles Times in an article published Tuesday, Dec. 3, as he and his A Real Pain costar and director Jesse Eisenberg promoted their new comedy-drama. Kieran recalled similar stories about making Home Alone when he and Eisenberg took part in a Tribeca Film Festival panel in June.
