Tim Curry Spills Cringey Moments With Donald And Ivana Trump During ‘Home Alone 2’

British actor Tim Curry has recalled lying to Ivana Trump while staying at the then Donald Trump-owned Plaza Hotel during the filming of the 1992 Christmas classic “Home Alone 2: Lost In New York,” in which Donald Trump made a cameo.

In a new interview with The Guardian published Tuesday, Curry said Ivana, who died in 2022 at age 73, asked his opinion of the property’s decor. She had overseen its lavish remodeling.

“She knocked on my door and said, ‘Are you happy in your room? Do you like the way it looks?’” recalled Curry. “And I loathed it actually.”

Curry, now 79, played the Plaza’s concierge in the movie sequel.

In the same interview promoting his memoir “Vagabond,” which he penned after being left partially paralyzed following a severe stroke in 2012, the actor also remembered Donald Trump himself being “very anxious” to get his then-girlfriend Marla Maples (he’d split from Ivana) an introduction to the film’s director, Chris Columbus.

Curry said: “He told me, ‘I’ve got to get Marla to meet Chris Columbus because she’s a brilliant actress.’ And I thought: ‘Yeah, I’m sure.’”

Trump’s brief cameo saw Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister ask him for directions to the lobby. Columbus has claimed Trump’s appearance was a condition of filming at the Plaza. Trump, though, has insisted the filmmakers were “begging me to make a cameo” and he agreed despite being “very busy” and not really wanting to.

Culkin has said he’d be happy if Trump’s scene was cut, but Columbus has joked that doing so would spark national outrage: “If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of the country.”
