Macaulay Culkin 'Sad And Lonely,' Living As A Child, Says Pal



A depressed Macaulay Culkin has regressed to childhood tendencies in his adult years, sources say in a new report coming off the heels of the National Enquirer's bombshell story linking the former child star to heroin abuse.

An insider says Culkin, who gained worldwide fame playing precious kid Kevin McCallister in 1990's Home Alone, has been "trying to relive [his youthful] days" hosting dress-up parties in which guests are invited to come dressed as a movie character or dinosaur."

One former show business colleague called the child star "a sad and lonely figure."

"He likes to live as a child," the source said. "Growing up has not been good to Macaulay."

Contributing to his sadness, insiders say, is his inability to get roles: The 32-year-old, who showed off his dramatic chops in movies like 1992's The Good Son and 2007's Sex and Breakfast, had his last major role three years ago on NBC's short-lived series Kings.

"He isn't acting, but not by choice," an actor acquaintance of Macaulay's told People. "He is vocal about wanting to revive his career, and he gets scripts and reads for parts."

Sources have also pointed to his breakup with actress Mila Kunis last year as a trigger for his downward spiral.

Home Alone made more than $476 million worldwide, and spawned two sequels, cementing Macaulay as the premiere child star of the 90s.

If Macaulay invited you to his party, which movie character or dinosaur would you show up as???

All of the Halloween stuff in stores is making me so excited. I wanted to audition for some haunted houses this year but all the ones I could find that were looking for people were a 45 min+ drive away ;-;
hetshepsit 12th-Sep-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
I AM SO EXCITED. I'm kind of obsessed about my costume choice. Started putting it together. Cannot wait.

excuse that person, those parties sound fun.
haterswannabeme 12th-Sep-2012 05:30 pm (UTC)
I'm calling bullshit on this, if only because I don't like the idea of him being sad.
highd 12th-Sep-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
It's true :( The daily beast did an article not to long ago interviewing him and it's all very true. Although he looked a lot better after Natalie Portman's wedding.
haterswannabeme 12th-Sep-2012 05:39 pm (UTC)
nooooooooooooooooooooooo :'(

doesn't he have any friends in the industry who can help him out? his brothers, even?
babydontsweat 12th-Sep-2012 05:30 pm (UTC)

Whatever, I want a Wizard of Oz themed party for my 30th birthday, sue me and call me messed up.
so_chic_doll 12th-Sep-2012 05:32 pm (UTC)
done & done.

Waiting for the paperwork, signing them all with my glitter pen.
actxappalledx 12th-Sep-2012 05:46 pm (UTC)
I think that would be awesome. I was so sad on Modern Family when they canceled the Wizard of Oz themed party bc I wanted to see how amazing it would have been with everyone in costume lol
grammaire 12th-Sep-2012 06:07 pm (UTC)
May I come??????????? I already own a Dorothy costume!!!
squishinator 12th-Sep-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
oh my, he is turning into mj
oceanships 12th-Sep-2012 05:33 pm (UTC)
I hope not, maybe he's just like the rest of us 90s and 80s kids that want to hold onto their childhood. Or maybe I'm in serious denial for his sake.. :(
highd 12th-Sep-2012 05:59 pm (UTC)
There is something so appealing about being a gen-xer without kids and keeping ahold of your childhood for what seems like forever. I have a life, and lifestyle that sort of supports my forever childhood, and I don't feel any shame in it at all.
fauxparadiso 12th-Sep-2012 05:41 pm (UTC)
That was my first thought. And since he was close with him, he actually saw this type of process firsthand.
harborafternoon 12th-Sep-2012 10:29 pm (UTC)
he's really not rich enough to afford mj levels of crazy tho so i hope not
oceanships 12th-Sep-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
If I went as a children's show character I would either show up as Chuckie Finster or the blue Power Ranger from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers days. I loved both characters while growing up. :)
teenageriot16 12th-Sep-2012 05:32 pm (UTC)
I've been waiting for a Macaulay Culkin post to post this:



Does ANYONE remember this film? It was one of my fav films of my childhood and no one remembers it.
squishinator 12th-Sep-2012 05:33 pm (UTC)
i remember it vaguely
ani_di_franco 12th-Sep-2012 05:35 pm (UTC)
Hell yeah.

teenageriot16 12th-Sep-2012 05:56 pm (UTC)
So glad someone else remembered it! I recently watched it all on Youtube and it was the best night (except when I came in drunk once and ordered 5 Sabrina the Teenage Witch DVD's).
pirate_smiles 12th-Sep-2012 05:43 pm (UTC)
I feel like I had to have seen it but I saw like every kids movie that came out in the 90s, haha.
fastusagi 12th-Sep-2012 05:43 pm (UTC)
lol yes I remember that film!
belkisa 12th-Sep-2012 06:06 pm (UTC)

sviibwhapp 12th-Sep-2012 06:06 pm (UTC)
Yeah. I coulda sworn I saw it as a kid.
cherrybombx 12th-Sep-2012 06:32 pm (UTC)

blanketinapark 12th-Sep-2012 06:33 pm (UTC)
