Everyone fell in love with Macaulay Culkin in the early '90s, when the adorable child
star racked up a string of appearances in hit family films.
More than 25 years after Home Alone hit theaters, the grown-up Culkin is pretty much MIA.
What the heck has he been up to?
Retired, or whatever
Being such a successful child actor apparently afforded Culkin the opportunity to basically
stop working at a surprisingly young age.
In a freewheeling interview with New York magazine in 2016, Culkin admitted he's, "a
man in his mid-30s who's essentially retired" and he goes "where the wind takes him" these
days.
He went on to say that he spends his days painting, writing in his notebooks and, "whatevering"…whatever
that means.
Sporadic work
After a nine-year hiatus from the big screen but before his recent retirement, Culkin appeared
in 2003's Party Monster, playing the infamous, drug-addicted club promoter Michael Alig.
Despite the high level of press he received, his performance was panned, and his comeback
was relatively short-lived.
"Will you stop being such a Negative Nancy!"
He followed Party Monster with a role in the 2004 religious comedy Saved!, then dipped
into TV with a small role on NBC's short-lived drama Kings in 2009 and occasional voice work
on Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken.
More recently, he's played a parody version of himself on TV Land's The Jim Gaffigan Show.
Culkin's longtime friend Adam Green booked him for a small role in his self-released
2016 fantasy flick, Adam Green's Aladdin.
He also appeared as a crucified Kurt Cobain in a Father John Misty music video in 2017.
Pizza punk
Since 2013, Culkin has been a member of the five-person parody band the Pizza Underground.
The band takes Velvet Underground songs and reworks them with a pizza-themed twist.
"Who loves pizza?"
Other parodies include "I'm Waiting for the Delivery Man" and "All the Pizza Parties."
The band's humor hasn't meshed well with everyone: the Pizza Underground was booed off the stage
at the 2014 Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham, England.
Dating Mila Kunis
Culkin quietly dated That '70s Show actress Mila Kunis for about eight years, and the
couple managed to keep their romance out of the press until the year after their breakup
in late 2010.
A rep for Kunis told People, "The split was amicable, and they remain close friends."
Speaking to Elle UK in 2012, Kunis reflected fondly on her romance with Culkin, saying,
"I wouldn't take back anything in my life, not one thing.
I think it all shaped me to be who I am today."
Missing Mila Kunis
In December 2013, Culkin's dating life returned to the tabloids when he was spotted on a date
in Paris with All My Children actress Jordan Lane Price.
The gossip sites took a special interest in Price, mainly because she looked almost identical
to Culkin's ex, Mila Kunis.
No word on how long the couple actually dated, but Price's Instagram account indicates she
has moved on.
Teenage divorcé
A few years before Culkin hooked up with Kunis, he was actually a married man.
In 1998, the then-17-year-old actor married another actress, Rachel Miner, also 17.
The couple said in a statement published by the New York Daily News, "We're so happy and
proud that we found each other at such a young age.
We look forward to spending our lives together."
Sadly, their union only lasted two years and their divorce was finalized in 2002.
"Never marry your childhood sweetheart."
Down and out?
In 2004, Culkin was arrested in Oklahoma City on charges of possession of marijuana and
medication without a prescription.
At the time of the arrest, police found "17 grams of marijuana, eight Xanax pills and
16 pills police identified as a drug prescribed for anxiety and seizures."
The following year, Culkin pled guilty to both charges and received a one-year deferred
sentence on each.
He also had to pay $940 in court fees.
In 2012, Culkin was the focus of tabloid reports speculating that his noticeably frail figure
was the result of a $6,000 per-month drug addiction.
According to the National Enquirer, Culkin's alleged drugs of choice were heroin and oxycodone.
He was also reported to be headed on a "downward spiral."
A rep for Culkin later shot down the report, telling the Daily Mail: "The report in the
National Enquirer that Macaulay Culkin is addicted to heroin and assorted hallucinogenics
is not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious."
Tale of two cities
In his 2016 New York magazine interview, Culkin revealed he splits his time between New York
and Paris, partially because nobody approaches him in the City of Lights.
He told the magazine that plenty of Parisians recognize him, but, "don't care."
He also related how he was flattered to discover that a cafe in Paris has long used his full
name as its Wifi password.
Home Alone fans who can't quite make it to Paris can still catch Culkin on his home turf—they're
just going to have to stay up really, really late.
Culkin told the magazine, "I'll take walks at two or four in the morning, because there's
nobody out on the streets and it's easy for me to go unnoticed."
Clean-cut Culkin
After years of hiding his superstar features under a shaggy hairdo—or sparking widespread
concern over his health with his suddenly gaunt appearance—Culkin made headlines in
July of 2017 when he was seen sporting a clean-cut new look.
Yes, it's sort of silly for a haircut to make the news.
On the other hand, it's easy to understand why Culkin's fans were excited—all of a
sudden, he looked like a grown-up version of the kid filmgoers fell in love with decades
ago.
"You guys give up?
Or are you thirsty for more?"
