Macaulay Culkin has responded to being been called upon to return to the big screen as Kevin McCallister in a reboot of Home Alone.
The petition was made by Lawrence Ward last week over Twitter:
Disney are remaking Home Alone. This is a petition for them to re-cast 38 year old Macauley Culkin as 9 year old Kevin McCallister and have nobody in the film acknowledge it.

Thing is, it got Culkin’s attention.
And while he was 100% in support of the idea, he addressed a couple of things:
I have a big problem with this petition…
I’m actually 39 years old. https://t.co/kOU3Zd7e00

Also, you spelled my name wrong… Otherwise I’m 100% behind this idea.

Of course the internet was also 100% behind the idea:
OH MY GOD! He could be one of the robbers!

Kevin is now 39, he lives alone, he’s still traumatised by the home invasion and being lost in New York. He lives in an apartment block. When terrorists attack, he hides in his room but when they come for his neighbour – he has to use those skills he gained 30 years ago…

You wish. We all know Scarlett Johansson will get the part.

He could play the dad for sure. Anyways, wouldn’t a 39 year old man at home alone just be a bachelor who eats microwave dinners?

Culkin appeared in a commercial for Google Home last year which was based on the 1990 movie… check it out up top.
