Donald Trump criticized Chris Columbus
Before we get started, let’s try to find out how many times you have watched the second part of the movie Home Alone. It would seem that this can be done forever, right? However, even after 20, 50 or 100 viewings of the film about Kevin’s adventures, you will not be able to accurately answer a simple question: how did Donald Trump end up there ?
“We wanted to shoot in the Plaza lobby because it was impossible to build a New York hotel on a sound stage. As a result, additional expenses were expected to be spent on renting a real place,” the director shared his memories. However, to the surprise of the entire team, the hotel owner had other plans.
As you can already guess, it turned out to be Donald Trump . And, according to the terms of the then future US President, instead of paying rent, the filmmakers had to place the businessman in one of the frames of the Home Alone film. Of course, we were talking about a minor role, but far beyond the standard extras.
Which one should you believe?
“We had no choice but to agree. But we clearly didn’t expect the subsequent reaction during the first screenings. People loved seeing Trump on screen. In the end, I told the editor to keep the businessman in the film. This is a moment for the audience. So yes, he managed to get into the project .”
At the same time, interestingly, Trump believes that it was thanks to his cameo that the film was an incredible success with the public. Also, the former US President does not understand Columbus’s statements today. Like, if everything was as the director claims, then why didn’t the filmmakers simply cut out the episode with the politician after so many years? As a result, the man thinks that this is a way to show Trump in an unfavorable light.
Who do you trust more in this case? Did everything really happen with threats and conditions, or is the director hiding something? Don’t forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
