Filmmaker Chris Columbus expressed regret over Donald Trump's cameo in his film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, stating it has become an 'albatross.' In past interviews, he revealed that including Trump was a condition for filming at the Plaza Hotel, which Trump owned. Columbus recalled feeling pressured to include the cameo to secure film locations, despite his initial instinct to cut it. In light of recent political tensions, Columbus now worries about potential repercussions if he attempts to erase the scene from the movie.
It's become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone.
The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie.
There's no world I would ever beg a non-actor to be in a movie. But we were desperate to get the Plaza hotel.
My instinct was to cut the cameo and regrets that I changed my mind after viewers at a screening in Chicago cheered.
