When casting the role of Kevin McCallister in Mamma, ho perso l'aereo (1990), Chris Columbus had already seen Macaulay Culkin in Io e zio Buck (1989) but he wanted to audition some other kids first even though John Hughes had his heart set on Culkin. So Columbus met Culkin in New York and was very charmed by him and he thought he was fantastic. Columbus auditioned five other kids and none of them shaped up to Culkin. Columbus went with Culkin because he was not as picture perfect and he had an instant bond to the kids in the audience. Columbus knew the cameras would love him and he was immensely funny.
