Tim Curry is looking back at interacting with the Trumps on set of 1992′s Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
In the Christmas movie led by Macaulay Culkin, Tim, 79, played the concierge at the Plaza Hotel which now-President Donald Trump owned at the time while his ex-wife Ivana, who passed away 22, served as the property’s president.
While speaking with The Guardian for a career retrospective interview, Tim reflected on lying to Ivana about her choice of interior decorating in the hotel.

Also in the interview, Tim recalled Trump being very eager to introduce his then-girlfriend Marla Maples to the film’s director Chris Columbus.
“He was very anxious to find Chris Columbus, the director,” Tim said. “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.’”
As viewers of the movie may recall, Trump ended up having a brief cameo in the movie where he gave Kevin (Culkin) directions to the front desk at the Plaza.
In an interview from earlier this year, Chris Columbus admitted he wishes he never included Trump’s cameo in the Home Alone 2.
