On the verge of tears, Macaulay Culkin (43) showed his most sentimental side during the unveiling of his star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame on December 1. This monumental honor places an artist in perpetual connection with millions annually, as these star-shaped plaques grace the sidewalks of the Mecca of cinema.
Amidst worldwide headlines celebrating this accolade, Culkin, renowned for his childhood role in Home Alone (1990), captured attention not just for the accolade but for his altered, notably higher-pitched voice. During his speech, fans couldn't help but notice. One online user hastily commented, "I didn't expect him to sound like that," while another pondered, "Why was Macaulay's voice deeper as a child than as an adult?" Unsurprisingly, it quickly became a trending topic.
Expressing profound love for his partner, former Disney child star Brenda Song (35), with whom he has been in a relationship since 2017, Culkin shared, "You're not just the best woman I've ever met, you're the best person I've ever met. You've given me my purpose. You've given me a family. After the birth of our two kids, you've become one of my top three favorite people." Their children, Dakota, born in April 2021, and Carson, born late 2022, were also present at the star unveiling.
Culkin, having overcome his battles with drug and alcohol addiction, was also accompanied by his family, including siblings Rory (34) and Quinn (39), and Paris Jackson (25), with whom he shared a close friendship through her late father, Michael Jackson. In an interview with The Guardian, the actor revealed that he spent thousands of dollars on heroin and had become estranged from friends and family because of it.
His previous romantic partners include actress Mila Kunis (40) — currently the wife of Ashton Kutcher (45) — and Rachel Miner (43), to whom he was married between 1998 and 2002.
