Chris Columbus wishes he could erase Donald Trump’s cameo from ‘Home Alone 2’
Chris Columbus wishes he could erase Donald Trump’s cameo from ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’.The 65-year-old director says he looks back on the scene featuring the now hugely controversial U.S. president as a “curse” and an “albatross” around his neck.In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he declared: “I just wish it was gone.”The seven-second appearance by Trump, now 78, has long been a point of contention for fans and the filmmaker. Chris added in his chat with the Chronicle he now feels powerless to remove it from the 1992 sequel to the hit Christmas film due to Trump now serving his second presidential term, sarcastically saying: “If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of the country. I’ll be considered sort of not fit to live in the United States, so I’ll have to go back to Italy or something.
