"Home Alone 2" actor Daniel Stern claimed he once bought an entire bar drinks that amounted to $7,000 after Donald Trump offered to pick up his tab.

In his new memoir "Home and Alone," which drops Tuesday, Stern recalled his experience with the then-future president, whom he met while filming the 1992 movie, Page Six reported.

In addition to making a cameo in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," Trump allowed the crew to film at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel, which the real estate mogul then owned.

Recounting his first meeting with Trump -- who was said to be a "huge" fan of his -- Stern described the billionaire as "not a great conversationalist" and someone who had "kind of a nothing personality."

But the "City Slickers" star said the meeting ended up paying off "brilliantly" later when he had drinks with two crew members at the Oak Room in the Plaza.

That night, Trump made an appearance at the bar with his then-wife, the late Ivana Trump, and saw him and his group, according to Stern.

"Donald spotted us and proclaimed so everyone could hear that he would be picking up the tab at our table," Stern wrote, noting that he and the crew members lifted their glasses in gratitude as Trump left, "feeling like the host-with-the-most."

Stern and his pals took advantage of the offer and began to drink "until there was no more booze left in that bar."

According to the actor, they also treated the "entire bar" to "round after round of drinks."

Stern was unsure how large the bar tab they ran up got but estimated that it was "at least $7,000"

"We still feel really good about that," he concluded.

This came after "Home Alone 2" director Chris Columbus accused Trump of bullying his way into the film.

The filmmaker claimed to Business Insider that Trump's memorable cameo was a key requirement of their deal to film the movie at the Plaza Hotel's iconic lobby.

Aside from asking for a standard fee, Trump allegedly said, "The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie."

"So we agreed to put him in the movie, and when we screened it for the first time the oddest thing happened: People cheered when Trump showed up on-screen," Columbus said. "So I said to my editor, 'Leave him in the movie. It's a moment for the audience.' But he did bully his way into the movie."

However, Trump took to Truth Social in December 2023 to refute Columbus' claims, alleging that the director and producers begged him to appear in "Home Alone 2."

The GOP 2024 presidential candidate claimed that he initially "didn't want to do it" because he was "very busy" at the time but ultimately agreed because the crew was "persistent."

"That cameo helped make the movie a success, but if they felt bullied, or didn't want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there, for over 30 years? Because I was, and still am, great for the movie, that's why!" Trump added.
