"Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin is verifying a long-running fan rumor about the children's holiday classic.
In between eating spicy wings alongside "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans, Culkin, 44, confirmed that his stunt double in the 1990 movie was a "very short" 30-year-old man named Larry Nicholas. The notoriously elusive child star visited Evans' show on the Thursday, Aug. 7, episode to participate in a now time-honored celebrity tradition: Stars eat increasingly hot wings while answering personal questions.
"Is it true that your stunt double was a very short 30-year-old man?" Evans, 39, asked.
"Yeah, his name was Larry, and I saw him in the wardrobe department for the first time," Culkin replied. "I get changed and I walk out and there's this guy, Larry, dressed exactly like me 'cause we're both trying on the same outfit."
Culkin said he greeted Nicholas, who asked how old he thought he was.
