What perfect timing for a Home Alone reunion? Culkin was joined by his on-screen mother, Catherine O’Hara, at the ceremony to reveal his new star. O’Hara portrayed the star’s mother in both films in the 1990s. In a speech, she reflected on watching Culkin become a huge star as a young boy.
“The reason families all over the world can’t let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin,” O’Hara stated.
She acknowledged that Culkin had an “excellent script” and a “wonderful director.” O’Hara added “but it is Macaulay’s perfect performance as Kevin McCallister that gave us that little every boy on an extraordinary adventure.”
