Know Your Idol – Who doesn’t know Macaulay Culkin, a former child actor who successfully starred in a number of box office films ranging from Home Alone, Richie Rich, My Girl, and many more. His career faded when he grew up. In fact, he reportedly lived a miserable life because he was in debt and addicted to drugs.
Several years ago, his super thin body was seen in public and went viral on social media. It is suspected that this was caused by the illegal drugs he consumed. Because of this, many people thought that Macaulay Culkin’s career had faded completely and would never shine again. But who would have thought, 39 years after his first career, he would be awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 43-year-old man’s name was officially immortalized on Hollywood Boulevard in the ‘Motion Pictures’ category. On that occasion, he was accompanied by his partner Brenda Song, as well as Catherine O’Hara, who plays his mother in the film Home Alone. In his speech, the actor, whose films are always screened before Christmas, thanked the people who love him.
“Thank you to the Walk of Fame committee for giving me this award. I feel confident about all of this. There are many people I love and being able to feel loved again is very exciting,” he said, as quoted on the Good Morning America page.
In his speech, Macaulay Culkin also praised Brenda Song, whom he called the best woman in his life.
“You are truly everything, you are a champion to me. You are the only person I am happier with today than I am myself. You are not only the best woman I have ever known, you are the best person I know. You give me purpose. You gave me a family,” said Macaulay Culkin, moved.
Chaterine O’Hara who was present also had the opportunity to give a speech at the star award ceremony. He said the reason why people all over the world watched Home Alone was none other than Macaulay Culkin.
“Home Alone was, is and will always be a beloved global sensation. The reason families around the world can’t let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin,” said the 69-year-old actress.
“Macaulay Culkin, congratulations. You truly deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And thank you for including me, your “fake” mother who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I’m so proud you,” he concluded.
