Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin praised late John Candy for protecting him from his "monster" father.
According to Radar Online, Culkin recalled about Candy, saying, "I think he [Candy] always had that really great instinct."
"He [Kit] was already not a good guy. I think John was looking a little side-eyed, like, 'Is everything all right over there? You doing good? Good day? Everything's all right? Everything good at home? All right,'" the actor added.
He went on to share, "I think he saw. Listen, even before the wave crested and the Home Alone stuff was happening, it was not hard to see how difficult my father was. It was no secret. He was already a monster."
Culkin described his dad as "a bad man. He was abusive, physically and mentally – I can show you all my scars if I wanted to."
Macaulay Culkin and John Candy co-starred in Home Alone. Candy died of heart attack in 1994 at the age of 43.
