      >Back in 1989, when Mulaney was seven, John Hughes and Chris Colombus were casting the Christmas caper “Home Alone” in the Chicago area. At the time, the actor was part of local children’s improv group The Rugrats, where he caught the attention of someone in the film’s casting department. The production approached him and his parents with an opportunity to audition for the lead role in the film. Reflecting on this moment in a recent GQ video, Mulaney shared how, ultimately, things didn’t go his way.

      >“I was offered to audition for the role of Kevin in ‘Home Alone,’” he said. “My mom thought about it for a little while. I was getting a booster shot and my mom waited until we were at the pediatrician and then told me, ‘Your dad and I have talked and we’re not gonna let you audition for that movie,’ and then I got a booster shot.”

      >“I think it was like… Maybe if we put the two bad things at once, they’ll neutralize each other,” Mulaney said of his parents’ booster shot tactic. “But I remember both and I dislike them both.”

      >“I do want to say for the record, there is no better performance in the 1990s than Macaulay Culkin and ‘Home Alone,’ and he deserved an Oscar nomination and an Oscar for that role,” said Mulaney. “If you have a Macaulay Culkin story, call me at my personal number.”

      I can actually picture a mini John Mulaney as Kevin McAllister but it would definitely be a completely different vibe.

      This fact makes Mulaney’s bit about Home Alone 2: Lost In New York even funnier.

      Based on his history of addiction it’s probably best he was never a child star.

      This has been out for a while. It was an entire plot point in his ill fated mulaney sitcom

      Judging by his drug problems in the past, it was probably for the best.

      I’m not even sure I believe this is true. From what I recall, John Hughes wrote Home Alone specifically for Culkin, after working with him on Uncle Buck. He’s also two years younger. Considering Culkin was 9 when he filmed HA, that makes a 7 year old Mulaney auditioning even more unlikely.

      Perhaps they were considering him for one of the cousins / siblings – but I don’t think he was offered a chance at Kevin.

      Mentally I view this as what if Richie rich was in home alone. I’m sure mulaney wasn’t that rich but that is the vibe

      Doesn’t matter.. it’s said that they auditioned 3000 kids but already knew Macaulay was the one Hughes wanted from the start due to Uncle Buck
