00:00 In the ongoing Christmas and New Year season, we go for many special Christmas movie options.
00:07 But that one film is still close to our hearts, Home Alone.
00:12 The comedy film revolves around an 8-year-old guy, Kevin McAllister,
00:17 who keeps every one of us intact in our shapes till the end.
00:22 Home Alone and Home Alone 2 are the two best movies of 90s directed by Chris Columbus.
00:28 Both parts tell the story of a guy who is left behind by his family at the home
00:34 and then how he does multiple things to save his home from the thieves.
00:39 There is a cameo of the former President of the USA, Donald Trump, in the second part of Home Alone.
00:46 Director Chris Columbus shared this incident with Business Insider.
00:51 In the sequel, Kevin is left behind by his family again and this time the family goes to New York.
00:58 There was a part of the movie which had to be shot in the famous Plaza Hotel in New York.
01:04 And at that time, Donald Trump forcefully made his entry in the second part of Home Alone.
01:11 The Home Alone director said, "Like most locations in the New York City,
01:15 you just pay a fee and you are allowed to shoot in that location."
01:20 "We approached the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at that time, because we wanted to shoot in the lobby.
01:27 We couldn't reveal the Plaza on a soundstage," Trump said.
01:31 "Okay, we paid the fee, but he also said, 'The only way you can use the Plaza is if I am in the movie.'"
01:39 After the shoot, Chris wasn't sure whether the final cut would have his scene.
01:49 When he went for testing before the audience, Chris was surprised at the reaction that the scene received.
01:56 He said that when they premiered it for the first time, people went crazy after watching Trump on screen.
02:03 And therefore, he grabbed the moment and kept Trump in the final cut of the movie for the audience.
02:10 But Trump made his way into the movie losing his power.
