According to the director of ‘Home Alone 2,’ Donald Trump bullied his way into appearing in the movie.
Director Chris Columbus spoke to Business Insider and revealed how Trump took advantage of the production filming a portion of the film in his hotel. Columbus said, “Like most locations in New York City, you just pay a fee, and you are allowed to shoot in that location. We approached The Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned at the time because we wanted to shoot in the lobby. We couldn’t rebuild The Plaza on a soundstage.”
Columbus continued, “Trump said OK. We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.'”
The director then said “When we screened it for the first time the oddest thing happened: People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen. So I said to my editor, 'Leave him in the movie. It’s a moment for the audience.' But he did bully his way into the movie.”
