Kieran Culkin reprised his role as Fuller McCallister in “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” He was actually the character who pointed out that the family had once again forgotten Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister during the Christmas holidays. While the “Succession” star has some fond memories of working on the movies, Kieran admittedly was a little confused about his brother’s role in the first installment. “I didn’t really know what the movie was about when I was filming it, so it was a fresh movie for me when I saw it,” the actor acknowledged on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in 2020.
When they were filming, Kieran mistakenly believed the movie starred a child actor who had one line with the family. It was not until the premiere that Kieran figured out that the film starred his brother. “Oh, that makes sense ’cause Mac was on set all the time,” the TV star remembered thinking. To be fair, Kieran was only seven when he worked on the Christmas classic. One special aspect of “Home Alone” that was obvious to Kieran while shooting was meeting John Candy.

“I remember going in the trailer and seeing him and was just starstruck,” Kieran told Esquire in March 2023, while adding that Candy was a lovely guy. Not fully understanding the movie while filming ended up being a positive for Kieran in the end, too. He and his brother may have worked on “Home Alone,” but Kieran was also able to appreciate it purely as a holiday romp.
