  • Macaulay Culkin Reacts to ‘Home Alone’ Reboot Coming to Disney+

    Macaulay Culkin Reacts to ‘Home Alone’ Reboot Coming to Disney+

    Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the studio was “re-imagining” the 1990s classic Christmas movie Home Alone for its new streaming service, Disney+ and now Macaulay Culkin has taken to the internet to give his thoughts on the reboot.

    The child star, now 38, shared a photo on Twitter on Wednesday, one day after Disney announced plans to reboot the franchise. The pic pays homage to the infamous scene from the film, in which Kevin gorges himself on junk food while his entire family is in Paris for the holiday.

    “This is what an updated Home Alone would actually look like,” the actor captioned a photo of himself, as you can see in the post below, followed by a reply saying “Hey Disney, call me!”

    Culkin’s pic got major love from fans, some of whom urged the now-grown Culkin to play Kevin’s absent-minded dad in the reboot.

    Culkin was just 10 when the first film in the “Home Alone” franchise was released and turned him into a world-famous child star.
