Macaulay Culkin disclosed a long-speculated truth regarding a well-known Home Alone scene, leaving me stunned.
In a surprising turn of events, Macaulay Culkin, the star of the iconic film Home Alone, has confirmed a long-standing rumor about a stuntman in the movie. During a recent appearance on First We Feast, Culkin revealed that he believed the stuntman, named Larry, was only 13 years old.
Contrary to Culkin's belief, Larry was actually a 30-year-old man when he performed some of the stunts in Home Alone. This fact, which demonstrates the extent to which movie magic can come from unexpected places, was a surprise to many, as it was assumed a child took care of the stunts.
Larry, who was the same height as Culkin, was used for stunts such as getting hit with flying paint cans, stepping on a nail, and even a tarantula to the face. One of the most memorable scenes involving Larry was where Kevin sneaks into his brother's room, a scene in which Larry performed the fall with furniture.
Culkin expressed concern for Larry's safety during the filming of Home Alone. His repeated shouts that Larry was "only 13" were likely a reflection of this concern. However, it was Larry himself who suffered injuries during the production. For instance, Joe Pesci, another actor in the film, suffered "serious burns" on his head during the memorable blow torch scene.
Despite the misconception about Larry's age, Culkin's impersonation of a stuntman during the confirmation did not sound like a 13-year-old. This further fuelled the speculation about the use of a stuntman in Home Alone.
Home Alone, featuring the performance of stuntman Larry, can be watched with a Disney+ subscription. The film's behind-the-scenes facts, including this revelation about Larry, make it an even more intriguing watch for fans.
