Macaulay Culkin's 'Home Alone'-themed face mask is a major throwback, and the perfect reminder for fans to keep their own masks on
Entertainment3 min read
  • Macaulay Culkin wore a "Home Alone"-inspired face mask in a new photo he shared to Instagram and Twitter.
  • In a nod to Kevin McAllister's signature pose, he reminded his followers to keep their masks on during the pandemic.
  • He isn't the only celebrity getting creative with their face mask use — Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Martin, and the Duchess of Cambridge have all found ways to put their own spin on mask safety.

Actor Macaulay Culkin elevated his — and everyone else's — face mask game on Wednesday afternoon by posting a photo of himself wearing a mask that referenced one of the most iconic moments from "Home Alone."

Just staying Covid-safe by wearing the flayed skin of my younger self. Don't forget to wear your masks, kids.

For those unfamiliar with the classic '90s movie, Culkin played Kevin McAllister, an 8-year-old who accidentally gets left behind while the rest of his family goes on a trip to Paris and has to fend for himself and safeguard his house against a pair of particularly inept burglars.

Culkin wasn't the first celeb to don a mask of their own likeness. NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal sported a mask featuring his own smiling face in an Instagram photo he shared in July.

Over half a year into the coronavirus outbreak in the US, Culkin and O'Neal aren't the only ones getting creative with their face mask use. Other public figures, like the Duchess of Cambridge and Katie Holmes, are giving it a trendy spin by coordinating their masks with their outfits.

As the Today Show reported in August, the Duchess of Cambridge styled not one, but three separate outfits with the same floral mask. Kate's mask of choice was relatively inexpensive, retailing for about $20 (though it's now, as expected, sold out).

Of course, if you're a celebrity and you're concerned about fans not recognizing you with a face mask on, Steve Martin has you covered with this interesting hack.

But it looks like O'Neal and Culkin have their own thing figured out.
