Macaulay Culkin | Where Are They Now? | The Comeback of Home Alone Legend

After turning himself into the biggest childhood actor of all time
with the holiday classic “Home Alone”, Macaulay Culkin would see
his acting career dry-up by the time he turned 14. And yet -- he
still somehow managed to wind up a perfectly happy 42-year-old with
a fiancée and baby, living the type of life few childhood stars
ever get the chance to experience. Before all of that, Macaulay
Culkin was born on August 26th, 1980 in New York City to his
father, Christopher Culkin, a former child actor turned lackluster
Broadway star, and his mother Patricia Brentrup. The two were never
married but still produced a brood of seven children, including
five sons and two daughters – all of whom lived in a cramped New
York City apartment where the kids shared a series of bunk beds
jammed into one room. Unfortunately, Macaulay never had much
control over his own career and wound up at the mercy of his father
in particular, who often chose his son’s roles for him. After early
roles in television series like ‘The Equalizer” and the hit comedy
film “Uncle Buck”, Macaulay’s big break came when he was just
eight-years-old on the set of John Hughes’ masterpiece, “Home
Alone”.
