The duo also starred in the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which was also directed by Chris Columbus.
In her speech, the Canadian-American actress congratulated Culkin, stating, “You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And 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.”
Culkin’s fiancĆ©e, Brenda Song, and their two kids were also at the event, along with his Party Monster costar Natasha Lyonne.
“Thanks for all your kind words and your stories and stuff. You know, you made my kids’ dad, their papa, look good. And the most important thing to me is also that their papa understands that he wasn’t always his papa; he used to be a kid, too, you know?” he said.
“To wrap things up, and in the spirit of the holiday season, I just wanna say, Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.”
Fans were absolutely touched by the heartwarming reunion.
