Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) Did you know Home Alone 2 was filmed in the real Plaza Hotel lobby, and Donald Trump’s cameo happened only because he required it as part of the filming agreement? 🏨🎬 At the time, Trump owned the Plaza and allowed the crew to shoot there on one condition: he had to appear on screen. ----- Description Director Chris Columbus originally planned to cut the cameo, but test audiences reacted positively when Trump appeared on screen, so the scene stayed. The brief moment — where Kevin asks for directions — became one of the most talked-about cameos in movie history. It’s a reminder that sometimes iconic movie moments aren’t creative choices at all, but contractual ones. ---- Credits Director: Chris Columbus Cast: Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, Tim Curry Writer: John Hughes Sources: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), cast & crew interviews Fair Use Disclaimer This content uses short clips and facts for educational and commentary purposes under Fair Use.
