Macaulay Culkin Sets Record Straight on Longstanding Rumors About Home Alone Movie

YOUTUBE INTERVIEW SERIES HOT ONES, AUG 7 – Macaulay Culkin addressed longstanding rumors about improvised lines and stunt doubles from Home Alone during a Hot Ones interview aired Aug. 7.

  • Macaulay Culkin appeared on the August 7 episode of Hot Ones to set the record straight on longstanding Home Alone rumors.
  • The interview followed decades of speculation about the movie, including whether Culkin's stunt double Larry Nicholas was a 30-year-old man.
  • Culkin revealed he improvised much during filming but did not create the famous line “You guys give up or are you thirsty for more?”
  • He also recounted Joe Pesci biting him in rehearsals, calling the first take of a scene “vicious,” and confirmed the stunt double Larry was 30 years old despite thinking he was 13.
  • These clarifications highlight continued interest in the 1990 film’s production and reinforce Culkin’s role in shaping its legacy decades later.
