Hollywood star Macaulay Culkin is facing an adorable yet amusing situation with his three-year-old son, Dakota. Dakota, the son he shares with fiancée Brenda Song, seems to believe that he is actually Culkin’s iconic character, Kevin McCallister, from the beloved 1990s holiday film “Home Alone.”
In a recent interview with E! News, Culkin shared, “He thinks he’s Kevin.” Dakota is convinced that he, like Kevin McCallister in the movie, had blonde hair, rode down the stairs in a sled, and bravely “fought the burglars” all by himself.
Culkin humorously joked about his son’s belief, calling him “a lying liar who lies,” and admitted that he used to be just like that when he was younger.
