but if you get me you know the cutest fucking eight-year-old in the universe
after Macaulay Culkin became the biggest child star in the world and was the
first to pull in a million dollars for a film and then pull in another whopping
five million for home alone two guys girlfriend what
after Macaulay Culkin would wow the world with his charisma Letterman
Arsenio Hall and presenting at the People's Choice Awards was just given me
an opportunity to welcome you to the 17th annual 17th annual People's Choice
Awards a show that that's been around longer than I enough after Macaulay
would come to the defense of his childhood friend Michael Jackson you
know they go oh you something the same bedroom as him it's like I don't think
you understand Michael Jackson's bedroom is two stories it has like three
bathrooms and this and that after Macaulay Culkin would decide to
walk away from Hollywood at the age of just 14
despite Macaulay Culkin's best efforts to stay out of the spotlight during his
adult years he has remained in the minds and the hearts of people all over the
world especially during Christmastime when it's impossible not to catch home
alone playing on one television station or another at the age of 12 Macaulay
famously stated that he had made enough money they would never have to work
again although Macaulay initially decided quit
show business he appears from time to time in films and commercials can I help
you it's me McAuley McAuley or mac as he goes by
these days has also popped up in some unconventional ways there was the time
Ryan Gosling wore a t-shirt of McCauley which then in turn he'd wore on his own
shirt and then Ryan Moore shirt of him wearing no shirt it was really weird
there have been death hoaxes in his name and tabloids printed about an addiction
to heroin he started multiple artistic bands and projects in recent years and
then there was this viral video from two years ago titled just be in the house by
myself which was weird I still have nightmares about like this bald weirdo
dude chasing me around talking like you
somebody saying I'm gonna pull your fingernails out I'm gonna get you your
little scam I don't even curse call me like louse and shit like that the top
comment on that video is actually wow he would make an awesome Joker what's going
on guys my name's Michael cretin documenting the life and career of
Macaulay Culkin after his initial rise to fame here for you uh naft er they're
famous and this is an updated video now there are plenty of other child actors
we could feature in this series how about Kevin McCallister's brother bus or
how about other child stars like the kid from Jerry Maguire or the Olsen twins
let me know who you want me to talk about next in the comments down below
now let's get into this updated video
mccauley Carson Culkin was born on August 26 1980 in New York City New York
- Christopher kit Culkin and Patricia Bren Trump his parents never married but
they sure liked making babies with McCauley being the third of seven
children living in a seedy Manhattan two-bedroom apartment the family had
little to no money his mother worked as a telephone operator and his father was
a caretaker at a local church now his dad's story's a pretty
interesting one he himself had been a child actor and his mom while she was a
stage actress as a teenager he made it to Broadway but his acting career never
came to fruition as an adult his sister Bonnie Bedelia had better
luck playing Bruce Willis's love interest in die hard and she's still a
working actress today now kid pushed his firstborn Shane into acting at
Manhattan's and Sabo Studio Theatre young McCauley was just tagging along
when he caught the eye of casting directors and landed the stage role in
after-school special firm there he was enrolled in a professional acting school
and he later trained in ballet he appeared in several stage performances
before he moved on to movies his first was in a film titled rocket Gibraltar
Gibraltar yeah that's it they cast the vote to the one they beat huge bonfires
on the beach the men will light the tips of their
arrows in the bonfire
next up he start his farrah fawcett sun and see you in the morning and then he
landed the role of John Candy's nephew in Uncle Buck this was directed by John
Hughes where's your wife don't have one how come it's a long story you have
catch no I don't okay it's an even longer story oh my god father what's
your record for consecutive questions asked
Judy age for that role McCauley was paid $40,000 and John Hughes was so impressed
by Cultus performance that he wrote a screenplay specifically for him titled
home alone I'm a good shape young Macaulay was paid $200,000 for his work
home alone had a production budget of 19 million dollars and went on to become
the highest grossing film of 1990 it earned half a billion dollars in total
at the box office and was the biggest money maker since et in Star Wars
although money was coming in but Kylie's dad had stepped into the role of manager
and was very resistant to spend his family's new fortune during this time
McCauley still didn't have his own bed or bedroom he would sleep on the couch
with his brother it was during this time that he was first introduced to Michael
Jackson who had plenty of beds he kind of recognized because it was after I'd
done Uncle Buck and so he kind of mentioned something and then he calls me
up kind of out of the blue and it's kind of just this weird random things like
once you come over in my house the two would spend time together going to
Disneyland and playing video games they work together with Macaulay appearing in
Michael Jackson's video for black and white and yes of course there were
sleepovers when I slept in his bedroom yeah but you have to understand the
whole scenario and the thing is with Michael as it he's not very good at
explaining himself and he never really has been firm Akali fixed role in my
girl he became the first child star to command a salary of 1 million dollars
after the financial success of home alone Macaulay got to work on home alone
too but this time his father had some demands which included he'd be paid five
million dollars and earn a percentage of the gross he also insisted that Fox
Studios cast Macaulay another film that they in production it was titled the
good son kid Culkin got his way on all these demands and home alone too was
another massive success
excuse me where's the Mavi down the hall grabbed by the pussy thanks but now his
family had moved into two sprawling apartments in Manhattan's cultured Upper
West Side and his parents well they were rolling in dough because they were
collecting 15% in management fees Macaulay's payment was bumped up to 8
million dollars for his next two films getting even with dad and Richie Rich
but unfortunately these weren't as hot at the box-office and executives were
starting to feel that people had had their fill of McCulley's charisma during
this time McCauley also plead with his father for some time off he wanted to
have a summer vacation like any other kid his age but his dad knew that they
had to keep going while the going was good Macaulay was also starting to get a
bit of a bad-boy reputation and there were stories of him throwing cigarette
and alcohol-fueled parties when he was clearly underage yeah I'm a kid I had a
beer you know I smoked a joint big deal you know what I'm saying in 1994 at the
age of 14 Macaulay was worth an estimated 17 million dollars and decided
that he wanted to quit acting and just like that things would start to fall
apart his mother kicked his father out of
their apartment so he moved into another one in the building in 1995 the two
parents went to court over custody of their children and control of Macaulay's
massive wealth and also they had to split apart that 15% they raked in a lot
of money now I'm not entirely sure how this all played out the information
might not be public but McCauley and his family have had no contact with their
father ever since never been to jail or rehab and ice you know my parents didn't
steal all my money and all those other child star cliche lies have you read
about you in oh no you didn't say yeah I mean forget about it with Macaulay
quitting acting he made attempts to blend in as a normal youth he attended a
private high school in Manhattan but dropped out in his senior year in 1998
he became engaged and married to Rachel Miner she too had grown up as a child
actress and is still working today that same year Macaulay became the
godfather to Michael Jackson's daughter Paris and while researching this video I
also read rumors that they believe that blanket is actually Macaulay's kid like
his DNA I can't confirm that now just really weird yeah that is weird
in 1988 there was a fire in the apartment home to Macaulay's mother and
three of his younger siblings four people were killed
the fire and his mother was sued for eighty million dollars now I have no
idea how that played out I don't know if it's a public information but yeah and
then more devastating news would come when Macaulay and his wife would call it
quits after two years never married childhood sweetheart
in 2002 he began dating Mila Kunis who at the time was working on That 70's
Show he also began to reappear on films as an actor first up was party monster
the true life story of the rise and fall of a young club promoter I want you to
teach me how to be fat so dreamin I
ended up in New York there were more traditional gigs like an appearance on
Will & Grace then in 2004 he was arrested in Oklahoma City for possession
of marijuana also prescription drugs with no prescription including xanax and
klonopin both used for panic disorders he was briefly jailed and received three
one-year suspended prison terms and was ordered to pay five hundred forty bucks
at base in 2005 McCauley defended Michael Jackson at the Popstars
molestation trial he called the allegations against Jackson absolutely
ridiculous in 2006 he published the semi
autobiographical novel title jr. and in an interview he stated I really
disassociated myself from Macaulay Culkin mentally like if someone actually
calls out that name on the street I don't turn my head literally when I was
14 and I quit I said I'm never doing that again
say whatever you want about me that I'm crazy that I'm an alcoholic call me a
drug addict I don't give it anymore That's not me anymore that's for you
what's yours go ahead have fun more tragedy would strike in 2008 when his
younger sister Dakota was killed in a car accident the next year he would lose
his lifelong friend Michael Jackson and attended his funeral but Kali continue
to work appearing in commercials she appeared in WWE bra and in some various
online series his relationship ended with Mila Kunis in 2011 following this
there were tabloid claiming that he'd become addicted to heroin rumors he shot
down stating I was not pounding six grand of heroin every month or whatever
the thing that bugged me was tabloids wrapping it all in this weird guise of
concern know you're trying to ship papers around this time there was also
an Internet death hoax made in his name but Kali had began making movies as an
independent artist there was this video in which he simply ate a piece of pizza
and I rolled a clip from that in the intro but there's a reason it might seem
familiar
he began working heavily with the band members of wool D peaches and they
filmed an entire movie on an iPhone titled the wrong Ferrari he split his
time between LA New York and found refuge in France where no one knew that
he was the kid from home below but Khali made global headlines at 2015 with this
cover bad Pizza underground which toured the US and of course there was his viral
video in which he played himself as an uber driver still recovering from the
torment of Harry and Marv it's Christmas time it's fuckin Christmas and your
whole family goes on vacation whole family and they forget their
eight-year-old fucking son named your old son
more recently Macaulay has been looking pretty happy and healthy he's also got a
new girlfriend and Brenda saw who also grew up as a child actress so clearly he
has a type as for the rest of the story well I think that's pretty much it
because this is after they are famous my name is Michael Cretu and I hope you
enjoyed this updated video as I said in the intro there are plenty of other
child stars we could document but I rely on you guys to suggest you to do next so
