In a recent interview, actor Macaulay Culkin opened up about his experiences as a father and his son’s relationship with his iconic film, ‘Home Alone’. Culkin, who shot to fame as a child star more than three decades ago, confessed that he does not regularly let his children watch the movie that made him a household name. ‘I think it’s a little weird, honestly. Why would I have them watch a movie where I was in a lead role at such a young age?’ he stated. This revelation comes amid mounting curiosity regarding how such a well-known film affects his family’s perspectives on childhood and parenting. Culkin shares his son, Dakota, with fellow actor Brenda Song, and has expressed joy in stepping into fatherhood. ‘It’s the greatest adventure of my life,’ he remarked. The couple welcomed their first child in April 2021, named Dakota, after Culkin’s late sister. Culkin’s reflections also delve into how fatherhood has changed his outlook on fame, and how he now approaches entertainment with a healthier mindset, focusing more on being present rather than seeking public adoration. Meanwhile, the family is growing, as Song recently revealed that they are expecting a second child. This update excited fans, as the couple has often kept their personal lives relatively private. Culkin’s transition from child star to parent has captivated many, marking a significant shift in his life’s focus.
