Maman, j'ai raté l'avion - Des faits intéressants que vous ne connaissiez pas sur les films

Lingard

Home Alone is a classic holiday movie with some surprising behind-the-scenes facts! The idea came from a scene in Uncle Buck, and Macaulay Culkin was cast after over 100 auditions. The house in the movie is real, and filming included some scary moments, like Joe Pesci trying to scare Culkin and Daniel Stern enduring a tarantula on his face. The film grossed nearly $500 million worldwide. Fun facts include the fake Angels with Filthy Souls movie and Donald Trump's appearance in Home Alone 2. It's a timeless favorite, full of laughs and hidden details!
