Home Alone
Of course, Macaulay Culkin’s most famous movie is Home Alone. Culkin portrayed 10-year-old, Kevin, who wishes for his family to disappear during the Christmas season. He quickly learned the lesson to be careful what you wish for because his family forgot Kevin at home while traveling to Paris for a holiday. When his mom, Catherine O’Hara, realizes she left her son at home, she attempts to race home as fast as she can to see her son.
Catherine O’Hara’s Speech
Catherine O’Hara, who played Macaulay’s mom in both Home Alone and Home Alone 2, gave a heartfelt speech to her former co-star, leaving everyone in tears. The Home Alone mom greeted Macaulay with a big hug and called him her darling baby. She continues by saying, “You made acting look like the easiest thing to do.” Watch Catherine’s full speech below.
