Home Alone 2director Chris Columbus spilled the beans on howDonald Trumpsnagged a role in the sequel. The iconic holiday hit,Home Alone, birthed several sequels, but only the second installment features a cameo by Trump in 1992’sHome Alone 2: Lost in New York.
Before Trump took the presidential stage, he was a prominent NYC businessman, catching the eye of theHome Alonecrew in the ’90s. The filmmaker shared withBusiness Insiderhow persistent Trump was about being part of the sequel.
InLost in New York,Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) finds himself in the Big Apple, landing at the Plaza Hotel. Trump’s involvement came as the production team aimed to shoot in the hotel lobby, given that he owned the Plaza at the time.
Initially thinking they could pay a standard fee for location use, Trump threw in a curveball. Columbus revealed,
“We approached The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time, because we wanted to shoot in the lobby. Trump said OK. We paid the fee, but he also said, The only way you’re able to use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.”
They agreed, but it wasn’t clear if Trump’s cameo was always on the cards.The audience’s cheers during the first screening settled the matter. Columbus told his editor,
“Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience. But he did bully his way into the movie.”
While acknowledging Trump’s forceful entry, the revelation adds a layer of celebrity influence to Hollywood dynamics.
As viewers revisit this holiday classic, Trump’s cameo takes on new significance, even though it’s worth noting whetherHome Alone 2stands out as a sequel surpassing its predecessor or not.

Home Alone 2is that sequel everyone loves, but let’s keep it real; it’s missing a bit of that wow factor. The firstHome Aloneis a Christmas movie legend, directed by Columbus before he worked his magic at Hogwarts withHarry Potter.
And don’t forget, John Hughes, post-Breakfast Club, penned this gem. Macaulay Culkin, pre-Pizza Underground, stole the show as the mischievous Kevin McCallister.
Now, we’re diving intoHome Alone 2. It throws us into the New York chaos and keeps the mischief alive with Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern, and those classic traps are still there. But here’s the lowdown: it doesn’t quite hit the novelty button like the original.
Sure, the franchise kept rolling with more sequels, but without Culkin, Pesci, and Stern’s charm, none of them came close to the magic of the first two.Home Alone 2: Lost in New Yorkis right there on Disney+ if you’re up for some nostalgic booby-trap fun in the Big Apple.
Give it a spin, and see for yourself! It’s the last flick with the original crew, and even though the sequels stick to the whole kid-setting-traps gig, they don’t match the magic ofHome AloneorHome Alone 2.Enjoy the Christmas capers!
