Kieran Culkin received the Best Supporting Actor award at the 2025 Oscars for his role in Jesse Eisenberg's film, 'A Real Pain.' Surprisingly, Culkin attempted to withdraw from the project just two weeks prior to filming to prioritize family time after an extended 'Succession' shoot. His ex-girlfriend and producer Emma Stone played a crucial role in persuading him to stay, reportedly employing some unconventional methods to ensure his participation. The film explores family dynamics as two cousins embark on a journey in Poland, adding depth to Culkin's celebrated performance.
Kieran was trying to drop out of the movie two weeks before we were shooting. So one of our producers, Emma Stone, essentially like blackmailed him to come back.
Culkin delivered a classically Culkin - that is to say, whacky - acceptance speech after his name was called at the Dolby Theatre.
