‘Home Alone 2’ Star Reveals the Lie He Told Trump’s Ex-Wife While Filming

Donald Trump made a memorable cameo in the 1992 holiday sequel.

Veteran actor Tim Curry remembered lying to President Donald Trump’s ex-wife, Ivana Trump, while filming Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Trump, who owned the Plaza Hotel where the movie was filmed, made a cameo in the 1992 sequel holiday film, where Curry played the hotel concierge. Curry, 79, told the story to The Guardian Tuesday about how he lied to Ivana about liking the hotel’s interior after taking up residence while making the movie. “She knocked on my door and said, ‘Are you happy in your room? Do you like the way it looks?’ And I loathed it actually,” the It actor recalled. Donald and Ivana Trump were married from 1977 to 1990 and shared three children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. The Rocky Horror Picture Show star also recalled running into Trump during that period with his then-girlfriend Marla Maples, who would become the billionaire’s second wife in 1993 until their split in 1990. According to Curry, Trump “was very anxious to find Chris Columbus, the director… He said: ‘I’ve got to get Marla to meet Chris Columbus because she’s a brilliant actress.’ And I thought: ‘Yeah, I’m sure.’”
