Tim Curry shares embarrassing moments with Donald and Ivana Trump during Home Alone 2

British actor Tim Curry recalled an awkward question from Ivana Trump while staying at the Plaza Hotel, then owned by Donald Trump, 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 on Tuesday, Curry said Ivana, who died in 2022 at age 73, asked his opinion on decorating the property. She had overseen its lavish remodeling.

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

In the same interview to promote his memoir “Vagabond,” which he wrote after being partially paralyzed after a severe stroke in 2012, the actor also recalled that Donald Trump himself was “very eager” to get his then-girlfriend Marla Maples (he had separated from Ivana) an introduction to the film’s director, Chris Columbus.

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

In Trump’s brief cameo, Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister asked him how to get to the lobby. Columbus has claimed that Trump’s appearance was a condition of filming in the Plaza. Trump, however, has insisted that the filmmakers were “begging me to do a cameo” and he agreed despite being “very busy” and not wanting to do it.

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