Early Life

The American actor and musician was born on August 26, 1980 as Macaulay Carson Culkin. In his childhood, he lived with his parents and siblings  in a small apartment in Yorkville, Manhattan.

Career Beginnings and Breakthrough through “Home Alone”

When he was just 4 years old, Culkin already appeared on stage in a production of Bach Babies at the New York Philharmonic. He also had his film debut as Cy Blur Black in the film Rocket Gibraltar in 1988.

But what changed Culkin’s life the most is his breakout role as Kevin McCalister in the 1990 blockbuster comedy film Home Alone. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award at his young age. He was paid around $4.5 million for the sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Since his career was skyrocketing, Culkin had deal after deal for films and eventually grew tired of acting. After the release of the 1994 film Richie Rich, the child actor already retired from acting and wanted a normal life. He went back to school and studied in a private high school in Manhattan.
