The actor who became known from the Home Alone movies finally got his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

For years, Macaulay Culkin was known as a child star who had drifted into decline and downward spiral. Culkin, who became familiar with the Home Alone films as a small boy, fell into a cycle of drug and mental health problems as a teenager. The background was childhood trauma and difficult family relationships.
The image of the sweet child actress crumbled in the eyes of the whole world, when the actress was often photographed wildly emaciated and sick in public places.
Culkin later managed to turn his fortunes around and even revived his acting career. The beginning of a significant change came at the latest when Culkin met former Disney star Brenda Song in the late 2010s.
Song and Culkin are currently married. They have one child together.
A remarkable achievement
Culkin now received significant recognition in Hollywood, when the actor’s star plaque was attached to the Walk of Fame.
The occasion of announcing the star was emotional. The actor’s family, friends and relatives were there.
In his touching speech, Culkin especially thanked his wife. The actor’s speech ended with the familiar phrase from the movie: “Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal”.

The event was also attended by someone known for the role of Kevin’s mother in the movie Home Alone Catherine O’Hara, which was proudly represented alongside Culkin. The fans of the films became sensitized on social media for a pair of pictures in which the two pose just like they did 33 years ago in the film Home alone.
See a couple of pictures below.
