'I worked with Donald Trump on iconic film and he showed his true colours'
Mirror ^ | Oct 14, 2025 | Christopher Sharp

Hollywood legend Tim Curry has opened up about his experience meeting Donald Trump during the filming of Home Alone 2.

The British actor, 79, has shared insights into his time with the now 45th and 47th President of the United States on the 1992 movie. At that point, Trump wasn't yet a politician or reality TV personality, but rather a wealthy New York business magnate.

Almost 33 years after Home Alone 2 hit cinemas, Tim has written a memoir called 'Vagabond: A Memoir' chronicling his life before and after suffering a stroke in 2012 which left him partially paralysed.

Discussing Trump's behaviour on set at The Plaza Hotel, which belonged to him at the time, Tim remembered how the future POTUS was keen for his then-partner, Marla Maples, to be introduced to the director.......

Tim Curry isn't the sole member of the Home Alone 2 cast and crew to have shared thoughts on Trump's cameo in the festive blockbuster that earned £280m worldwide and ranked as the third biggest earner of that year.

Chris Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter films, has expressed his regret over including a cameo by Donald Trump in one of his movies.

Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, he confessed that the scene had become "an albatross" that he wishes to remove, stating: "It's become this curse. It's become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone."

I used to love Tim Curry back in his Rocky Horror Days... but he’s really just proven to be one character in every film he’s done — Tim Curry.

The fish-bulb eyes, the horsey teeth and the camp, sassy stage h-mo personality.

His albums, with the exception of Fearless, was boring AOR crap... he’s just trying to promote his book.

He never even had the b@lls to come out publicly, if you think about it.

Bleh. Off to the has-been room for you, Tim, you nasty old queen.

He didn’t really say anything about DJ Trump just the decor.

The authors mission is a failure. His writing’s too extreme. He should return to transylvania - prepare the transit beam.

Amazing how much hate the DNC can extract with a simple “R” next to a name.


Still trying to get their revenge for Joe McCarthy.

I seem to remember one Ronald Reagan film where he played a villain that got air time during one of the campaigns. Looking at AI, it appears that the movie I remember was “The Killers”

Maybe next Curry can do an interview about how the bath towels at the Plaza didn’t perfectly match the drapes.

Somewhere some dyed-haired Karen will read that and be offended, even though you were talking about actual drapes.

"Conan - what is good in life?"

This is just recycled 30-year-old hate gossip. Why even post it?
