BIOGRAPHY
Macaulay Culkin was born the third of seven children living in New York. He appeared for the first time on screen at the age of 8 alongside Burt Lancaster in the intimate drama The Rock of Gibraltar (1988). Quickly acquiring a taste for film sets, he took part in Uncle Buck and See you tomorrow, my love , in 1989, before exploding in the family comedy Maman, j’ai missed l’avion the following year.

In a single film, he managed to become the new darling of Hollywood in the 1990s and obtained a staggering salary. He found his character Kevin McCallister in Mom, I Missed the Plane Again (1992) which brought in, again, a lot of money. At the same time, the New York native stars in the comedies Your Mother or Me! (1991), My Girl (1992), Make Change, Dad (1994) and Richie Rich (1995).

Far from his usual roles which made him a child star, he agreed, in 1993, to play a disturbing psychopath under the direction of Joseph Ruben in the thriller Le Bon fils , before observing a long slump from of 1994. If he puts his career aside, he continues to be talked about in the celebrity sections (drug consumption, divorce, financial setbacks, etc.).

Distinguished on the stage in London and on Broadway, Macaulay Culkin makes his tentative return to cinema, after almost ten years of silence, in the Christ-like comedy Saved! (2005). He continued with a few appearances in little-known films ( Sex and breakfast , Adam Green’s Aladdin ), worked as a voice actor ( Robot Chicken ) and played a recurring character in the series Kings (2009) with Ian McShane .

In 2021, he joined the tenth season of American Horror Story via an intriguing role, as creator Ryan Murphy explains : “I had this really crazy character and I asked to speak to Macaulay. I talked to him about the character and I told him he had a pretty wild and erotic sex scene with Kathy Bates, among others. He paused and said to me, ‘I think I was born for this role’ and he signed immediately.”
