Macaulay Culkin Rocks Bristols Thekla!

We've just heard some pretty spectacular news here at Truffle Towers...while we're usually pretty hot on this stuff, this one has been slow to get to us so we apologize :) Anywho, it appears that 80s child sensation and the kid we all wanted to be...in fact still to..came to TruffleShuffles hometown Bristol just a few weeks ago!

Child star was seen belting out Kokomo, when he took to the stage as Adam Green’s special guest much to the surprise of the gig goers.

A spokesperson for the iconic Bristol venue Thekla, where the remarkable event happened, told papers: ‘He just turned up as a surprise guest. Adam said we’d recognise him from Home Alone, but still nobody believed it. When he got on stage it was surreal at first, then people started realising it was him.’

Adam then hugged his famous pal before the duo began singing Kokomo together. Admittedly, we're of course green with envy that we missed this as we'd love to meet our childhood hero for a few extra home security tips at the very least.

Check out this little clip...

Well who'd have thunk it huh! Even more reason for us to get out our awesome Home Alone T-Shirts and show some love in our own special way. Take a look at our designs below...

Every kid wanted to be him, cheeky, lovable, and the ability to effortlessly get one over any meddling adult who put him to the test. To help spread the Home Alone love, we thought we would share some fab little facts we recently discovered out this cult kids film. Take a peek!

Kevin's classic retro toy The Talkboy was originally created as a non-working prop for use in the film. Later in 1993 it was made into a retail version, brought on by a massive letter-writing campaign by young fans of the film who wanted the real thing.

John Candy amazingly filmed his part in just 1 day, a very long 23-hour day that is! The story about having once forgotten his son at a funeral home was entirely improvised. His part is obviously inspired by the character he played in Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

Daniel Stern agreed to have the tarantula put on his face for exactly one take. He had to mime screaming because the noise would have scared the spider, and the scream was dubbed in later.
