Old Man From “Home Alone” Says He Didn’t Know He Was in Movie
By Dan | November 29th, 2008 | Category: Ham, The Films |Local snow shoveler and resident creepy old man, Old Man Marley, was met with a surprise when flipping channels this week. He saw himself on TV in a film unknown to him. Home Alone.
ABC Family kicked off its holiday programming with a showing of Home Alone, the classic Macaulay Culkin film. Marley, a scary old man, had yet to see this uplifting comedy and was shocked to find he had an integral role.
Marley had been oblivious to Home Alone, released in 1990, and its popularity for 18 years.
“I never owned a TV until this year,” Marley admitted. “I had just made enough money from shoveling snow to afford a television set and the first night I turn it on, it’s like I’m looking in a mirror.”
It took Marley nearly a half hour to realize he was not actually looking into a mirror.
“When they showed the reunion I had with my son, I had an inkling something was fishy,” Marley said. The incident in question occurred nearly 19 years ago after a local troublemaker suggested he contact his estranged son.
When questioned about misleading an old man, Home Alone director Chis Columbus did not deny the allegations.
“Yeah, the second unit just started following him around,” Columbus said. “When we realized we could use the footage, we got around having him sign a release form by telling him it was a ’snow shoveling contract.’ That guy loved shoveling snow.”
Since learning of his celebrity status, Marley has given up on his life-long career and has decided to follow his acting aspirations. He’s currently holding out hope that there will be a sequel.
What kinda bogus crap is this…I’m going for satire.
The guy was in the movie “Christine” for crying out loud.
