Macaulay Culkin has a career most in Hollywood could only dream of, but there’s one film that got away.
The “Home Alone” star opened up about a script he missed in his younger years when he was on a break from acting, even though he thinks the person who got the role was perfect for it.
“I was actually pretty good at reading — I was kind of voraciously reading through the scripts, but there was a couple that slipped through,” Culkin shared during his appearance on “Hot Ones” earlier this month.
“And I remember about two years later, kind of clearing out the house, throwing out the old scripts, and I saw the one that I didn’t read was ‘Rushmore,’” he said, referencing Wes Anderson’s 1998 film. “I was like, ‘Oh, dang. I probably could’ve done that one.’”
Culkin said he “can’t imagine anyone but [Jason] Schwartzman doing that part” in “Rushmore,” which ended up launching a decades-long partnership between the actor and Anderson.
