Kieran Culkin played Fuller McCallister, while his brother Macaulay Culkin starred as cousin Kevin, in ‘Home Alone’
Kieran Culkin has come a long way since making his debut on the big screen at 8 years old when Home Alone was released in 1990 — and he still gets a kick out of talking about his humble beginnings.
Culkin’s A Real Pain costar Jesse Eisenberg exclusively told PEOPLE at the National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York City on Jan. 7 that he’s definitely talked to Culkin, 42, about his Home Alone days.
“What Kieran loves more than anything is for people to go up to him when they meet him and talk about Home Alone, so I did, yeah,” Eisenberg, 41, said.
Asked whether he’s a Home Alone “super fan,” Eisenberg quipped at the gala red carpet, “Well, I mean, who isn’t at my age?”
The Social Network actor — who presented Culkin with the best supporting actor award at the gala for his role as Benji Kaplan in A Real Pain — previously revealed that he had watched Home Alone 17 times when he was 7, according to The Los Angeles Times.
In Home Alone and its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Culkin had a minor role as Fuller McCallister, the younger cousin of main character Kevin, who was played by his real-life brother Macaulay Culkin.
