How Mom Saved Peck's Pugsley Costume

Actor Josh Peck reminisced about a memorable childhood experience portraying Pugsley from The Addams Family during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He recalled sharing a float with Alexandra Daddario, who depicted Wednesday Addams, during the festive event. Despite rainy conditions, Peck remembers the after-party as a highlight.

The biggest surprise came with his costume, as the standard Pugsley shirt was unavailable. Peck's mother brilliantly improvised, purchasing a referee shirt from a Foot Locker employee. She ingeniously altered it, cutting and re-stitching the stripes to achieve the desired horizontal pattern, securing it to a t-shirt with safety clips.
