Macaulay Culkin, the beloved star of “Home Alone,” was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking his impressive 40-year acting career. The unveiling ceremony was a festive affair, with Catherine O’Hara, who played Culkin’s on-screen mother in “Home Alone,” and Natasha Lyonné, his co-star in “Party Monster,” in attendance.
Culkin’s heartfelt speech resonated with fans and family alike, as he humorously referenced his famous line, “Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.” His partner, Brenda Song, known for her roles in Disney Channel comedies, also celebrated this milestone with him.
O’Hara, playing her role as Culkin’s “fake mom,” expressed pride in his achievements. Culkin’s journey began with his stage debut at age 4 and his screen debut in “Rocket Gibraltar.” His iconic role in “Home Alone” earned him a Golden Globe nomination, and he became a household name with performances in “My Girl,” “The Good Son,” and “Richie Rich.”
Aside from acting, Culkin’s diverse career includes hosting “Saturday Night Live,” performing in the comedy rock band The Pizza Underground, and running the satirical website and podcast Bunny Ears. The new star on the Walk of Fame, Culkin’s 2,765th, is a testament to his enduring appeal and versatile talent.
