Celebrating his 42nd birthday today, Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin says he wishes he had made a more extensive career change earlier but doesn’t have the time anymore now that he’s a father.
Celebrating Macaulay Culkin’s 42nd birthday will make many of us feel pretty old. The young actor became a household name because of his role as the charming rogue Kevin McAllister in Home Alone and its sequel, Lost in New York.
Macaulay, just ten years old at the time, plays the role of the mischievous eight-year-old who is extraordinarily adept at building destructive contraptions to foil the unfortunate thieves.
The young actor went on to host Saturday Night Live and starred in films including My Girl, The Nutcracker, The Good Son, Getting Even with Dad, and Richie Rich.
Macaulay got close with the pop star, even participating in the video for “Black or White,” and is now the godfather of Jackson’s three children, Paris, Prince, and Michael Jr.
Having completed 15 films in only seven years, he subsequently chose to take a four-year hiatus from performing to complete high school at a prestigious private institution.
Macaulay’s parents were fighting over custody of him and his significant income when he decided to divorce them at the age of 14.

I needed a break for a time, and then I said, “That’s it, people. I hope you all made your money because I’m done.”
It was alleged that the teenager intended to prevent his parents, Kit, and Patricia, from making decisions about his future and preserve complete control over the £13 million wealth he had acquired.

The star of “Home Alone” may be doing well today, but he laments that he didn’t go out for the WWE instead.
Macaulay has had chances to work in the backstage areas of the wrestling entertainment industry due to his passion for the sport, but he has always passed.

Now that I’m a parent, I hardly have time to urinate, but I do sort of regret not [writing for WWE]. There was always something else to do, and I never got around to it.
