Kieran Culkin Shares Why He Won’t Let His Kids Watch Brother Macaulay Culkin’s Home Alone Movies – E! Online

There’s one obvious holiday classic that has yet to play in Kieran Culkin’s home.

The Succession star—who shares daughter Kinsey, 5, and son Wilder, 3, with wife Jazz Charton—revealed why he’s hesitant to introduce his children to Home Alone, the 1990 hit which starred their uncle Macaulay Culkin in his breakout role.

“There’s still some scary parts,” Kieran explained to E! News Dec. 2 at The Gothams 34^th Annual Film Awards in New York. “For the 3-year-old, there’s the tarantula [and] there’s the guy at the end who said, ‘I’m gonna bite off all your fingers.’ That’s scary for a 3-year-old.” (For more from Kieran and other stars who showed out at The Gothams, watch E! News tonight, Dec. 2, at 11 p.m.)

However, the actor says there’s only one way to find out.

“We think they might be ready for Home Alone this year,” he revealed. “If not, next year.”

While the Christmas favorite sparks nostalgia for most viewers, Kieran previously recalled how the film’s massive success made his brother an overnight sensation—a status he did not envy.
