When I was a kid, I would've thought it was hilarious to be mistaken for an ugly girl. Can't speak for this kid, but it looks like he had fun with it.
Nah, he probably had sisters, or cousins, or nieces, and he understood he had to take that one for the team. He’s proud today. He tells the story & laughs!
He's at an office Christmas party listening to boring stories and pipes up "yea, well I was buzz's gf in home alone!"
Probably paid for his college.
Look at that photo. It's such a small part, but he posed for a great photo. I only notice as an adult who has tried to take a photo of kids. Man, they don't know how to "smile naturally" or take any direction. Then this kid nails "smile like you like me against my wishes" or whatever direction was given.
what's his name? I want to see interviews of him as an adult talking about it.
"So they used a picture of the Art's Director unattractive son"
Conservatives: cancel Home Alone, it's grooming children!
Woof!
Wtf are you barking at
I'm not really barking. I'm sitting here quietly. I typed "woof" with my thumbs. It's a quote from the movie we're discussing.
I mean, OK for not picking some random girl and mocking her particularly but what about all the girls in the audience that look like the kid? It's still a pretty fucked up joke in retrospect.
Are we supposed to pretend that ugly kids don't exist or something?
I don’t think the problem was the photo, the problem was the reaction of disgust, and the fact that the whole purpose of the photo was to laugh at the ugly person. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say maybe that’s not the best way to go
I love it. You need someone who is gonna be ok with being the butt of an ugly joke and being in on it is better than not. So the kid put on a wig and makes the silliest face he can for a one off and they get to brag they are in the movie in silly way and no one is hurt by it.
Or would you prefer they go to the union for ugly actors?
Did you read what I wrote at all?
We don't have to act like being ugly is a character flaw or that there's anything wrong with dating an ugly person.
Yes. In today's world, everyone is beautiful no matter what is what you're supposed to say.
Not that being mean for being means she is good, but the directors made a good call, I think.
Directors son, woof
