30 years following its initial release, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” is once again grabbing attention, and it’s not due to burglars being pelted with paint cans this time. In an open discussion, director Chris Columbus has expressed remorse over Donald Trump’s well-known cameo appearance in the film.
„I Wish It Was Gone“
In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Columbus referred to Trump’s appearance in the movie as an “albatross,” a term suggesting a lingering misfortune. This scene was filmed at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned back then. As per Columbus, Trump demanded to be part of the film, making his inclusion a requirement for granting permission to shoot there. The cameo ended up in the final version due to the unexpectedly positive response it received from test audiences during screenings.

The filmmaker asserted emphatically that he wouldn’t deceive anyone by asking an unskilled actor to star in a movie. However, with regards to obtaining entry to the Plaza Hotel, he mentioned, “We found ourselves in quite a predicament.
