Criticize Donald Trump Movie director “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” (Home Alone 2: Lost in New York) Chris Columbus, after his statement that the former US President imposed his presence on the work team in 1992.
Trump said, through his account on his social media platform, “Truth Social,” that Columbus and the production team begged him to appear in the film.
He added in his post, “They rented the Plaza Hotel in New York, which I owned at the time, and I was very busy, and I didn’t want to be in the movie. But they were nice, and persistent, so I agreed, and that little cameo took off like a rocket, and the movie was a huge success, and it still is.” “Also, especially on Christmas. I always receive a lot of calls when the movie is shown.”
Director Chris Columbus said in 2020 in an interview with Business Insider that he and the team wanted to film in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel, and assumed that it would only require paying fees to use the site, “but Trump had another condition.”
The director added, “Trump said, ‘The only way you can use Plaza is if I’m in the movie.’ So we agreed to put him in the scene he was in, and when we premiered the most bizarre thing happened: People cheered when Trump appeared on screen. So I said To the film team: (Do not delete his scene from the film.) He imposed himself and took advantage of our need to film in the hotel.”
Trump responded to Columbus’s statement by saying, “This is completely far from the truth. My appearance helped the success of the film, and if they felt that I imposed my presence, or did not want me, why did they not delete the scene 30 years ago? I was, and I still am.” Great in the movie, that’s why!
He attacked Columbus, saying, “He’s just a guy who was a star in the past, trying to find the spotlight again using my name.”
The film hero
Trump appeared in the famous 1992 movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” during a short scene in which he confronts the boy, Kevin McCallister (played by Macaulay Culkin), when the boy gets lost in the Plaza Hotel.
And it was Action hero Macaulay Culkin showed his support for deleting the scene of the former US president from the film, by responding to two different tweets by Twitter users on “X” – formerly “Twitter” – requesting that Trump scenes be deleted.
Donald Trump’s scene in the movie “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” was not his only film appearance; He performed 8 scenes in other films, under his name and his real personality as a rich man who does not care about others, and all of them were comedies, as he appeared in the movie “The Little Rascals”, with the sentence “You are the best boy that money can buy,” and in another comedy scene in the series “The Little Rascals.” “The Nanny”, as a rich, arrogant man, and in the series “The Job”, as a businessman who is bold and perhaps impudent depending on his role in the scene.
As for the movie “Ghosts Can’t Do It,” he appeared under his real name, and for this role he earned the title of “Worst Actor,” in addition to his repeated scenes of the same nature in the movies “Two Weeks Notice.” “Sex and the City,” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
