Macaulay Culkin, the iconic child star, discussed his challenging relationship with his father Kit Culkin in a recent podcast. He revealed that he had not spoken to his father in over 30 years, attributing their estrangement to Kit's behavior during Macaulay's childhood. He described feeling overwhelmed and tired from acting at a young age, despite expressing a need for a break. His thoughts on fatherhood highlight a stark contrast with his own experience, as he aims to foster healthy relationships with his wife and children.
I was tired, man. I was so tired. And the thing is, I remember when I was probably about 11 or 12, I remember talking to my father. And I said: 'I'm getting tired, I think I need a break,' and he goes: 'Yeah, yeah, I'll look into it.' And the next thing I know, I was in the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing. I was like: 'Oh, I'm stuck. Now, I'm stuck.'
I haven't spoken to him in what would be about 30-something years. Oh, he deserves it, too. He's a man who had seven kids, and he has four grandkids, and none of them want anything to do with him. As a man myself, I would know that I fucked up, I really must have done something wrong... I have more than an inkling that he does not feel that way.
