Why Macaulay Culkin Doesn't Like Home Alone

Although "Home Alone" arguably launched Macaulay Culkin's career, the former child actor got candid about how he really feels about the movie during an appearance on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" in 2018 (via YouTube). 

"I don't really watch them all that often," Culkin shared with host Ellen Degeneres. "It's kind of just background radiation at Christmas time, and I've had people who want to sit down and watch it with me, which is both flattering and creepy."

"When I'm watching it, I'm remembering that day on set," Culkin continued, referring to each day he shot a specific scene (via Marie Claire). "Like how I was hiding my Pepsi behind the couch, or something like that. I can't watch it the same way other people do." Culkin also noted that he doesn't leave the house much around the holidays to avoid interactions with "Home Alone" fans.

Of course, Degeneres asked Culkin, who was once in the Pizza Underground, a pizza-themed Velvet Underground cover band (via Pitchfork), if he has people come up to him and ask him to recreate the iconic "I put on too much aftershave" face and how he replies to them, to which Culkin replied, "[I tell them] no. I've already been there, done that already, guys."
