Macaulay Culkin has pitched an idea for a Home Alone sequel

Macaulay Culkin has pitched an idea for a Home Alone sequel.

The 45-year-old actor - who rose to fame as a child star playing Kevin McCallister in the 1990 Christmas classic and its 1992 follow-up Home Alone 2: Lost In New York - has insisted he is not "completely allergic" to reprising his role for another dose of festive comedy chaos.

Speaking during his A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin tour, he said: “I kind of had this idea.

“I’m either a widower or a divorcee. I’m raising a kid and all that stuff.

"I’m working really hard and I’m not really paying enough attention and the kid is kind of getting miffed at me and then I get locked out.

"[Kevin’s son] won’t let me in… and he’s the one setting traps for me.”

The planned movie would essentially swap the Wet Bandits - Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) - with Kevin himself, as "the house is some sort of metaphor" for the relationship between the grown-up character and his son.

Culkin added: "[Kevin has to] 'get let back into son’s heart’ kind of deal.

"That’s the closest elevator pitch that I have. I’m not completely allergic to it, the right thing.”

Although Culkin only appeared in the first two films, there have been six movies in the franchise.
