Hollywood icon Tim Curry recently shared details of his encounter with Donald Trump while filming Home Alone 2. In his memoir ‘Vagabond: A Memoir,’ Curry reflects on Trump’s behavior during the 1992 movie, where Trump, then a prominent New York businessman, was eager for his partner Marla Maples to meet the director.
Curry recalled Trump’s insistence on introducing Maples to the director, claiming she was a talented actress. Additionally, Curry admitted to misleading Trump’s wife, Ivana, about his satisfaction with the hotel room’s décor during their stay at The Plaza Hotel for the film production.
Notably, Tim Curry is not the only individual from the Home Alone 2 team to comment on Trump’s cameo in the movie, which was a major success globally. Director Chris Columbus, known for his work on the Harry Potter films, expressed regret over including Trump in the movie, referring to it as a burdensome decision that he wishes he could undo.
Despite his desire to remove the scene, Columbus hesitates due to potential repercussions, humorously suggesting he might need to flee to Italy. These statements from Columbus came in the wake of Trump’s reelection, amidst fears of retaliation from the administration against critics.
