Culkin, similarly, has allowed his kids see how he’s left his mark on holiday cinema.
“Oh, heck yeah!” he recently told E! News of screening the flick for 3-year-old Dakota and his 2-year-old little brother. His oldest even “thinks he’s Kevin,” Culkin added. “I’m like, ‘Do you remember going down that down the stairs on the sled?’ He’s like, ‘Mmhmm, yep. Sure do.’ I’m like, ‘Do you remember when he had yellow hair?’ And he’s like, ‘Uh-huh, yep.'” Dakota even believes he “fought the burglars” himself, prompting Culkin to jokingly call him out.
“‘You’re a lying liar who lies,'” he remembered quipping to his son. “That was me!'”
Still, he’s happy to let them have the fantasy.
“It’s very rare when you have something that encompasses an important day, and I’m a part of that,” he reasoned. “It’s more fun to embrace it than to fight it.”
So let’s celebrate the holiday season by diving deep into all its private stuff. If you need us, we’ll be eating junk food and watching rubbish until the end of 2024. You better not come out and try to stop us.
