Secrets About Home Alone That Make The Movie Even Better

The role was written for Macaulay Culkin

When Home Alone was written, the script was intended for Macaulay Culkin to star as Kevin Mccallister. The precocious child actor had appeared in a few other films and producers knew he would be perfect for the role and hold his own.

However, when it actually came to casting, director Chris Columbus still auditioned more than 100 pre-teen actors to make sure that they were making the right decision. When Macaulay came in to read, it was a no brainer for everyone.
