'I'll Probably Be Sent Out of the Country': Home Alone 2 Director Wishes He Could Cut Controversial Trump Cameo
Home Alone is one of the most beloved Christmas films of all time. Following the resounding success of the 1990 film, the team reunited for 1992's Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
The movie wasn't as beloved as the first installment and didn't achieve the same cult classic status. Even more, the movie now features a controversial cameo from then-businessman, now-President Donald Trump. In a new conversation with the San Francisco Chronicle, director Chris Columbus revealed he wished he could cut Trump's controversial cameo, but he can't do it for fear of getting deported.
Columbus directed the 1990 movie and returned for the sequel as well, with John Hughes writing the script and producing again. The sequel also featured a seven-second cameo from Trump, where he gives Macaulay Culkin's Kevin directions in New York's famed Plaza Hotel, which he owned at the time. The director called it a "curse" and "an albatross.
