00:00
I would not be afraid to be at home alone.
00:04
No.
00:05
Next year marks 35 years since Home Alone premiered,
00:08
raking in 476 million at the box office.
00:12
Now, Macaulay Culkin is sharing new details
00:15
on his role as Kevin McCallister.
00:18
This is my house.
00:19
I have to defend it.
00:21
The 44-year-old says he considered buying
00:23
the original Winnetka, Illinois home used in the film
00:26
just for giggles, telling a Q&A panel
00:29
his plan was to turn it into a movie funhouse.
00:32
He also opened up about his relationship
00:34
with his big screen mom, Catherine O'Hara.
00:37
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
00:38
He's great, very smart.
00:41
Little alien.
00:42
How does he do what he does at that age?
00:44
Macaulay told the Chicago audience
00:46
they still call each other mom and son.
00:49
The duo reunited just last year
00:51
at his Walk of Fame ceremony.
00:53
I'm so proud of you.
00:56
As for this scene?
00:58
First thing I'm gonna do is bite off
01:00
every one of these little fingers.
01:02
Macaulay claims Joe Pesci actually bit his finger
01:05
because he wanted to scare the then nine-year-old.
01:08
Culkin says he has a scar.
01:10
Joe is, he's wonderful.
01:12
I love him, he's a dear friend,
01:13
but he's a scary dude, you know?
01:15
I think he did bite it.
01:16
He was biting his finger and then he bit it
01:18
and it was like, oh, crap, I didn't really mean to.
01:21
Joe was like, oh, I'm sorry I did that,
01:23
but only time you might see Pesci break.
01:26
This morning, we spoke with Joe's wet bandit partner
01:29
in crime Daniel Stern for ET's Then and Now.
01:32
It's interesting, Daniel originally backed out of the movie
01:35
when they extended his contract from six to eight weeks
01:39
because he didn't wanna be away from his kids.
01:41
It was the stupidest, most short-sighted decision
01:48
an actor could have ever made
01:50
and somehow by the grace of God, it came back to me.
01:56
The sequel came out in 92.
01:58
Daniel demanded 1.5 million to return
02:00
in comparison to Joe Pesci's estimated three million
02:03
and 1% of the profits.
02:06
So how much extra did he pocket?
02:08
Almost $3.6 million.
02:11
His splurge?
02:12
I bought off my house.
02:14
That sort of bought me my freedom
02:16
and in that way, you know, it changed my life.
02:21
Nowadays, the 67-year-old lives on a farm in California,
02:24
recently posting TikToks
02:26
to show off his surprising career turn.
02:28
This is a body of a dancer I'm making.
02:31
I've been doing sculpture now for about 20 years.
02:33
It's really my full-time job.
02:35
It's taken me a long time to admit it
02:37
and I hope it doesn't sound pretentious,
02:39
but I'm an artist.
02:41
Daniel also juices the fruit from their land
02:43
and takes care of their farm animals.
02:46
He also wrote a book.
02:47
It's called Home Alone.
02:49
I'm writing this for the grandkids and the great-grandkids.
02:52
If they ever see Home Alone,
02:53
Home Alone's still playing in 50 years when I'm gone.
02:57
I want them to know the story of my wife and I,
03:00
like how this happened.
