Macaulay Culkin wrote a moving message to his “Home Alone” co-star Catherine O’Hara following her death at age 71 on Friday.
“Mama. I thought we had time,” he said in an Instagram caption. “I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.”
O’Hara starred in “Home Alone” and “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” as Kate McCallister, mother of Culkin’s Kevin McCallister — the role that kicked off his career as a child actor. In December 2023, the two had an emotional reunion when Culkin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and O’Hara gave a speech at the ceremony.
“Macaulay — this beautiful, dear little 10-year-old boy — was called a superstar, a moneymaker, one of the hottest leading young men in Hollywood by the world over. How does anyone survive that?” O’Hara said in her speech. “Well, I believe you’d have to possess a certain quality, a gift that dear [writer-producer] John Hughes obviously recognized in you, Macaulay: your sense of humor. It’s a sign of intelligence in a child, and a key to surviving life at any age. And from what I see, you have brought this sweet, yet twisted, yet totally relatable sense of humor to everything that you have chosen to do since ‘Home Alone.’”
“Thank you for including me — your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice — to share in this happy occasion,” she concluded. “I’m so proud of you.” Culkin wiped away tears as the two embraced.
