It seems the Home Alone legacy is alive and well in the Culkin household—perhaps a little too well! Macaulay Culkin, the iconic face behind the mischievous Kevin McCallister from the 1990 Christmas classic, recently shared a heartwarming and humorous insight into family life with his 3-year-old son, Dakota.

In an interview, Culkin revealed that Dakota is not just a fan of Home Alone; he’s fully convinced he is Kevin. The toddler frequently mixes up scenes from the movie with real memories, sparking hilarious conversations between father and son.

“Dad, Remember Fighting Those Burglars?”

Culkin laughed as he recounted how Dakota talks about events from Home Alone as if they really happened. “He told me about the time he fought off burglars, and I was like, ‘You’re a lying liar who lies,’” Culkin joked. Despite the mix-up, the actor enjoys the playful exchanges and often goes along with them. He cheekily asks Dakota, “Do you remember sliding down the stairs on a sled?” to which the little one confidently replies, “Yep, sure do.”

This mix of fantasy and reality showcases how much the movie resonates with Dakota—and how Home Alone has become an integral part of family traditions in the Culkin household. Watching the film together is now a cherished activity, bringing a nostalgic glow to Culkin and a new wave of hilarity to his son.

The Culkin Brothers: A Family Connection to Home Alone

While Dakota is busy imagining himself as Kevin, Culkin’s brother, Kieran, shared his own perspective on the beloved movie. In a recent interview, Kieran, who played Kevin’s cousin Fuller in Home Alone, explained why he hasn’t introduced the film to his children yet. According to him, some of the movie’s more intense scenes—like the tarantula moment or the villain threatening to “bite off all your fingers”—might be too much for his kids, Kinsey and Wilder.

He humorously added that the day will come when his kids watch their dad as Fuller, complete with his trademark Coke-guzzling antics, but not just yet.

Why Home Alone Still Matters

More than 30 years after its release, Home Alone remains a cultural touchstone, especially during the holiday season. Culkin’s anecdotes highlight how a film can transcend generations, bringing families together in surprising ways. Dakota’s imaginative blending of movie magic with reality isn’t just adorable—it’s a reminder of the enduring impact of classic films.

For Macaulay Culkin, the journey from child star to dad with a “mini-Kevin” of his own is a full-circle moment. “It’s a trip seeing my son connect with something I did as a kid,” Culkin shared. And for fans, it’s a joy to see the legacy of Home Alone bringing as much laughter and warmth to the Culkin family as it does to audiences worldwide.

As Dakota confidently claims his title as Kevin McCallister, one thing is certain: the spirit of Home Alone is alive and thriving—complete with burglars, sled rides, and, of course, a whole lot of imagination.
