"And I pulled out an old family photo, and he looks directly at me. And he goes, 'That kid looks like Kevin. Who's that?.' And I said, 'That's me.' And kind of just waiting for the other shoe to drop. He's like, 'Oh, anyway.' And I was like, 'OK, cool.' Got to keep up the illusion for as long as possible."
"He thinks he's Kevin. I'm like, 'Do you remember going down that down the stairs on the sled?' He's like, 'Mhm, yep. Sure do.' I'm like, 'Do you remember when he had yellow hair?' And he's like, 'Uh-huh, yep.'"
"They have no idea it's me. They watch Home Alone, and they go, 'That's Kevin.'"
Macaulay Culkin is on a career-spanning 'A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin' tour marking Home Alone's 35th anniversary. His children, Dakota (4) and Carson (3), do not recognize him as Kevin McCallister when they watch the films and refer to the character simply as Kevin. Dakota once looked at an old family photo, identified a child as Kevin, and accepted that the pictured child was Culkin without further comment. Dakota also believes he personally experienced scenes from the film, recalling sledding and yellow hair. The anecdotes highlight how young children separate celebrity roles from real-life identities.
