Early life

Macaulay Culkin was born in Manhattan as the third of the couple’s seven children, Christopher Cornelius “Kit” Culkin and Bonnie Bedelia. He was raised a Roman Catholic and attended Catholic school, the Professional Children’s School, and the School of American Ballet. Culkin started acting at the age of four and appeared in a number of theatre productions, such as “Bach Babies.” He continued to perform in stage productions, commercials, and films throughout the 1980s and realized that this was what he wanted to do with his life. 

Career

Macaulay Culkin began making appearances in “The Equalizer,” an action television series, and “Midnight Hour,” a drama. His 1989 role in the big-budget film “Uncle Buck” solidified his reputation as Hollywood’s favorite young actor. He gained enormous fame in 1990 when he made an appearance in the wildly successful burlesque comedy “Home Alone.” He won over fans and reviewers with his adorable depiction of the troubled young girl’s best friend in the tragic movie “My Daughter” the year after. He was selected to portray the title role in the 1992 follow-up “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” which did not earn as positive reviews as the original “Home Alone” movie.

He played the lead in “The Good Son” in 1993. Once he achieved popularity at a young age, his proud parents pushed him even harder and forced him to sign for new films without hesitation. He was particularly encouraged to continue for the 1994 adaptation of a classic, “Richie Rich,” in which his performance was thought to be “forgettable” by his management and father. The Culkins allegedly engaged in a brutal custody battle over Macaulay’s wealth, which ultimately favored his mother, according to rumors that first surfaced in the late 1990s. After a long layoff, he resumed performing with the London West End production of “Madame Melville.”

He made a cameo on the NBC sitcom “Will and Grace” and acted in the movie “Party Monster,” which told the tale of a nightclub promoter. He appeared in the movie “Saved” in 2004, which had mediocre reviews and a modest box gross. Yet, he received acclaim for his work as an adult actor. As a result of his fame, he began to accept voice-over roles and appeared in unusual movies like Seth Green’s “Robot Chicken.” He wrote the semi-autobiographical book “Junior” in 2006, which included information about his fame and his tense relationship with his father.
