Devon Sawa and Macaulay Culkin’s internet feud may be over, but one joke persists. Sawa recently opened up about a strange rivalry with Culkin, saying that the “Home Alone” star still owned a website with his name.
Devon Sawa reveals Macaulay Culkin still owns his namesake website years after their “internet beef”
Sawa has revealed to E!’s Hot Goss that the playful feud dates back to when Culkin purchased a website connected to him. Culkin bought devonsawa.com around Sawa’s birthday. He then proceeded to direct fans towards merchandise and jokes involving the actor.
“He and I had a internet beef,” Sawa told E!’s Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts IIV. “He bought devonsawa.com. He did that, and we did this photo shoot together, and then we just started pranking each other.”
The rivalry ultimately “kind of faded out,” but Culkin still owns devonsawa.com. “If you want to go to devonsawa.com, you will be purchasing everything from Macaulay Culkin,” Sawa joked. “I can’t believe I’m giving him free press.” Despite the long time they spent trolling each other, Sawa heaped praise on his fellow former child star.
“He’s amazing,” he said.
Sawa also ruled out taking commensurate revenge on Culkin. When asked whether he would claim Culkin’s Instagram handle @macaulayculkin, he said he would not go “that low.” Sawa also recollected another memory where he got a one-up on Culkin. He landed the role in Eminem’s 2000 music video for “Stan” after the producers initially pursued Culkin. Sawa explained, “He was the first pick, I think,” before adding, “It’s on devonsawa.com.”
The Canadian actor also recalled how the role came to him. “Dre was a big Final Destination fan,” he said. “They knew a friend of a friend who was the casting director and it kind of went that way.” “I got a call and they were like, ‘You want to be in this new Eminem video?’” he continued, calling the project “one of my favorite things, for sure.”
“That was a very wild, wild time of my life,” Sawa concluded while describing that period.
