Macaulay Culkin and his Home Alone mom Catharine O'Hara shared a heartwarming reunion at his Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony, and we know what you're all thinking.

O'Hara, who played Culkin's mother in both Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, was on hand to honor the former child actor with some very touching words.


O'Hara first joked:

“As a very neglectful fake mother, I’m very glad that he’s given me another chance to show up for him."

She continued, commenting on his undeniable talent:

“I’d seen him in ‘Uncle Buck’ with dear John Candy and thought, ‘Where did this beautiful little boy come from?’”
“He was most obviously gifted with a beautiful face, but he was also a really natural actor. He was so relatable and real.”
“It was as if this real boy, Kevin, was surrounded by actors and just went along with it for the fun.”
“He is the reason we have all made watching ‘Home Alone’ a family holiday tradition.”

O'Hara talked about his massive success as a young actor and the rather mature way he handled his fame.

“It was more like either the Beatles or Elvis Presley — or Gandhi! It’s crazy to put that on a child.”
“He was cool, he was a kid, but he was the reason it was this hit. How many adults have ever been subjected to that kind of adoration?”
“He never seemed he was in show business to build a worldwide fan club."

She commended him for his decision to make his own choices.

“I think Macaulay survived it to become a fine young man."
“He had, somehow, the wisdom and self-preservation at the age of 14 or something to say ‘stop.’ He chose to allow himself a life outside of the work, and he’s been making his own choices since.”

O'Hara finished her speech:

"Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you."

Viewers of O'Hara's speech were filled with all the warm fuzzies.












Fellow former child actors Seth Green and Natasha Lyonne also joined in on the celebration, honoring Culkin with speeches, as well.

Green gushed over his pal:

“This kid hit the scene like Anakin Skywalker and everybody is saying ‘He is the literal new coming.'"
“He handled himself so well with all of the chaos and silliness swarming around him."
"I watched him literally take control over his own existence — to become emancipated and get married — and start to shape how he wanted to be seen.”

He finished:

“We definitely saw eye to eye about the grain of salt with which you can take the things that get thrown at you in this life — especially trying to be the person inside the icon.”
“That sidewalk, it’s meant to convey the permanent icons of Hollywood — and if there is anyone who has made an impact, it is this kid.”

Lyonne commented on the bond they shared as child actors.

“There is this unspoken language that child actors seem to have — granted, Macaulay Culkin was as ubiquitous as Shirley Temple! [But] immediately our relationship was one of a deep, intuitive understanding, and this protective instinct for each other.”
