Macaulay Culkin on Watching 'Home Alone' With Dates: 'I Have Indulged That'

Macaulay Culkin is in Bunny Ears promo mode, which—given that it's damn near December—also includes some 'Home Alone' chatter.

By now, there's no way Macaulay Culkin isn't wholly exhausted by all things Home Alone. He's strongly suggested as much in the past. Thus, it was pretty admirable of him to bite the proverbial holiday bullet when asked about the pair of seasonal classics (anything beyond Home Alone 2: Lost in New York doesn't count!) by one of the late night Jimmys Wednesday.

"I don't really watch that movie anymore, I was there," Culkin said when this particular Jimmy posited that this must be "hottest time" to be him. "It's something that's there. It's, like, a thing. It's, like, you got a new girlfriend and you're flipping through the channels and there's Home Alone and she's like 'Eh? You wanna watch it?' And you're like 'You wanna watch Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin, don't ya?' And she's like 'Yes.'"

Culkin then confirmed he had, in fact, done exactly that. "I have indulged that," he said. "Most of the time I'm just muttering my lines under my breath. I'm like 'Keep the change, ya filthy animal.' Listen, whatever gets her motor running, I guess." For the record, Culkin is believed to be currently dating Brenda Song.

The purpose of Culkin's visit, however, wasn't to discuss vintage cinema. Instead, Culkin was in the house to talk his new lifestyle site Bunny Ears. Culkin describes Bunny Ears as "Goop meets the Onion." Currently, those inclined to do so can vote on the Bunny Ears site to legally change Culkin's middle name from Carson to, quite possibly, Macaulay Culkin. As in, his name would then be Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.
