Succession fans are ‘mind-blown’ after realising star Kieran Culkin featured in Home Alone alongside his older brother Macaulay.

It's hard to believe that it's been over 30 years since the original Home Alone movie, which sees eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) wake up to an empty house after assuming his wish to have no family has come true.

But his excitement disappears when he realises that two con men (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the home, while the family accidentally go on holiday without him.

Whilst Macaulay became a child star, his younger brother Kevin was seemingly left out of the limelight.

It's only really now that he's become a recognisable name after starring as Roman Roy in HBO’s smash hit Succession.

But Kieran's celebrity status was nothing like his brother’s was at first.

Kieran spoke with Esquire about how he felt for his brother.

“Poor f***ing guy,” he said.

"He was little and having to try to accept that level of fame as a reality."

"Even at that time, as a kid, I remember thinking, 'That sucks for him,'” Kieran added.

Macaulay has also opened up out about those times, recalling how he enjoyed his acting career because he ‘was good at it and [he] knew it’.

He said: “Look, I mean, it sucks,

"But, it coulda been worse, you know?

“I wasn't working in a coal mine. I wasn't a child soldier.

“My father was not sexually abusing me. Certain f***ed-up things happened, but f***ed-up things happen to kids all the time and they don't come out the other end.

“I've got something to show for it, man."

Whilst younger brother Kieran has been making massive strides in the entertainment industry, fans of the hit HBO series were stunned the learn that he played small parts in the first and second Home Alone films as Kevin's cousin, Fuller.

"Mind blown when I realized Kieran Culkin is in Home Alone," one fan tweeted, as another added: "Never realized Fuller in Home Alone was Kieran Culkin."

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Did anyone else know that Fuller in Home Alone was played by Kieran Culkin, Macaulay Culkin’s brother in real life?" a third commented.

"I just learned that Macaulay Culkin’s actual brother Kieran Culkin, played Kevin’s cousin Fuller in the Home Alone movies."
