In his interview with Jimmy Fallon, Macaulay Culkin joked that it was near impossible to entirely escape “Home Alone” mania around the holidays. In fact, he agreed with Fallon’s assessment that at any given moment, it was being aired as a rerun on one channel or another. However, rather than cringe if it came on while he was channel-hopping with a new flame, he joked that he’d begun taking it in his stride and making the most of it. If a girl hinted at watching it together, he joked, “I’m like, ‘You wanna watch ‘Home Alone’ with Macaulay Culkin, don’t you?’ And she’s like … ‘Yes.'”
“Most of the time, I’m just muttering the lines another my breath,” Culkin added. “Whatever gets her motor running, I guess,” he laughed. Talk about working with what you’ve got! After all, Kevin McCallister always was resourceful.

It’s worth noting that at the time of the interview, Culkin actually was in a new relationship. At the time, he and Brenda Song, now-fiance and mother of his two children, were gearing up for their second Christmas together as a couple, after having started dating the previous year. No word on whether that second Christmas warranted another movie date night (“Home Alone 2,” maybe?)
