Macaulay Culkin Says Joe Pesci ‘Was Trying to Scare Me’ During ‘Home Alone’ Rehearsals and Ended Up Biting My Finger: ‘I Have a Scar’

Macaulay Culkin says Joe Pesci was always trying to scare him on the "Home Alone" set in order to stay true to his character.

The actor is currently touring around the country for what is billed as “A Nostalgic Night With Macaulay Culkin,” in which he hosts a screening of “Home Alone” followed by a Q&A. Thinking it would help the robber-victim dynamic, ‘he was like, I want to be menacing to this kid.’ Once, rehearsing a scene in which Pesci’s Harry is threatening to bite off Kevin’s fingers, he inadvertently took it too far and really chomped Culkin. Culkin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year and O’Hara gave a heartwarming speech about her co-star.
