I remember driving my parents crazy because I wanted to watch “Home Alone” over and over again. Who could forget little Kevin McCallister played by Macaulay Culkin? Culkin was the cutest and coolest kid in the film industry in the 90’s.

In 1990, The Washington Post declared that, “He may push more buttons with women then Mel Gibson.” 

Macaulay Culkin begin acting at the age of four, but he did not achieve international fame until he got his lead role in 1990 as cute little Kevin McCallister in “Home Alone.”

  "He had more presence than any child actor since Shirley Temple,"People magazine wrote after the box office success of “Home Alone.” 

Around this time Culkin became good friends with Michael Jackson, and he even appeared in Jackson’s music video ”Black or White.” According to CNN during Jackson’s infamous trial, he testified that Jackson had not sexually molested him and that the entire ordeal was “absolutely ridiculous.”

In 1992, he returned in the sequel “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.” Despite the huge success of both "Home Alone" films, his other films such as “The Good Son” and “Richie Rich” were not as successful.

After staying out of the spotlight for many years, Culkin popped up in a role in the play “Madame Melville” in 2000. Then in 2003, he took a supporting role in the movie “Saved!” along side Mandy Moore. Culkin played a very cynical, non- Christian, wheelchair-bound student at a  conservative Christian school.

On May 27, 2004 in an interview on “Larry King Live”, Culkin stated that he likes to keep his “private life private.”  But during the interview he discussed his life as a child actor, the conflict in his family life, and how he retired from acting at age 14.

Later that year, USA Today reported that Culkin was arrested for drug possession. He allegedly had 17 grams of marijuana and 16 milligrams of prescription medication.

In 2011, Culkin played his most recent role in Adam Greene’s film “The Wrong Ferrari", apparently the entire film was shot on an iPhone.

In January of this year, CBS News reported that Culkin split from his girlfriend, Mila Kunis.  Kunis starred in Black Swan with Natalie Portman and has earned nominations for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award. According to Kunis’ rep, "the split was amicable, and they remain close friends.”

 “There are a lot of things people want him to be that he's not," Kunis told Parade Magazine. "He's an amazing, simple guy, who is probably the most brilliant person I've ever met. Unfortunately, that's not what people want him to be, so they write stuff."
Last month, the media was flooded with new images of Culkin.  Fox News reported that the former "Home Alone" star looked "shockingly thin." He was described as having a "puny frame" and "gaunt face."
