Keep the change, ya filthy animal because Macaulay Culkin has recreated Home Alone

Paul Moore

Home Alone

Kevin!

Santa Claus, Jesus, and Kevin McCallister aka the real spirit of Christmas.

Granted, Santa or Jesus didn’t have to contend with anyone trying to break into the North Pole factory or their stable, but we’re fairly certain that they wouldn’t deliver the epic beatdown that Macaulay Culkin’s most famous character delivered too.

Jesus was more about peace and love, that’s his style.

Then again, we’d pay good money for JC to set fire to someone’s head while setting an intricate trap involving micro machines, tar, nails, irons and BB guns.

Now there’s a film we’d pay to see!

Anywho, the Christmas season means it’s time for Home Alone and after Kevin made his family disappear, we wonder how the story would play out in the modern era?

Of course, mobile phones would have been very handy for the McCallisters to get in touch with their son and as for Kevin, he’d never be feeling that alone at home due to technologies like Alexa and Google.

On that note, the actor reprised his most famous role for a Google advert and even though he’s all grown up, it’s still surreal to see Macaulay Culkin as Kevin.

Let’s be honest, they’re the same person, right?
