Creative path

In 1991, Macaulay starred in the dramatic comedy My Girl with Anna Klumsky. The film became very popular, and in it Culkin demonstrated his acting skills.

He then played in the sequel to the cult film Home Alone - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which almost managed to repeat the success of its predecessor.

After this, Culkin starred in the film "Son of God", which also became a hit.

But after such stunning success, Culkin starred in four mediocre films: “The Nutcracker” 1993, “Starting with Father” 1994, “Pagemaster” 1994 and “Richie Rich” 1994.

He eventually put his acting on hold for several years, and in 1998 he announced he was retiring from the film industry and married actress Rachel Miner.

Culkin returned to the big screen with the biographical drama film Monster Party in 2003. In the film, Macaulay portrayed New York promoter Michael Alig. Later, in 2004, he starred in the successful comedy Saved! with Jena Malone and Mandy Moore.

In subsequent years, the actor starred only in low-budget films.

Society felt that he was doing this to focus on his acting skills and developing his talent. But the actor himself claimed that he just wants to return to “normal life.”

The eight-year waltz has ended. After such a long, smooth and warm relationship, Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin calmly ended it.

“The breakup was inevitable, but they remain close friends,” Kunis’ rep told the New York Post.

The document also reveals that the couple had separated for some time, but kept it a secret while Kunis was working on films and did not want to attract intense media attention.

Culkin, once the beloved smart kid from Home Alone, began dating Mila Kunis in 2002, while she was starring in That '70s Show and Family Guy. Culkin stated that his love for animated shows helped them start their relationship.

In 2006, rumors spread that the couple had broken up. Kunis categorically denied such gossip, and in 2007 she talked about what a wonderful and warm relationship she had with her lover.

“We are both private people, and I think it’s more appropriate to enjoy our lives in the company of a loved one, and not under the flash of cameras,” she said, “We actually enjoy each other’s company. We both love reading books or playing video games together, watching TV or going to the movies. You know, Macaulay is a great cook! Every night I beg him for something special for dinner, and there has never been a time when a recipe seems too complicated to him.”

At the time, Kunis was simply over the moon about her relationship with Culkin.

“People think he’s this rich playboy, a former golden boy who’s now resting on his former glory,” Kunis continued, “but you’d be surprised to see him next to you on a plane or in a cafe. He's actually a very down-to-earth guy, and probably the nicest person I've ever met. He is very smart, knows a lot of interesting and funny facts, and he is also kind and gentle. Unfortunately, this does not correspond to what people want from him, which is why various nasty and stupid things are attributed to him.”

Back in 2009, Kunis said that, despite minor troubles, their couple is strong and their love has not dried up.

“What I need most in life is a strong man’s shoulder. Everyone has ups and downs, but you can and should work on them,” she said in an interview.

Let us remember that Culkin first married actress Rachel Miner in 1998, but the couple began to live separately two years later, and in 2002 the couple divorced.

Continuation: Mila Kunis married Ashton Kutcher, and here’s how Macaulay Culkin’s life turned out.

Personal life

Macaulay dated the famous actress and beauty Mila Kunis for 8 years from 2002 to 2010.

Mila started acting only at 14, taking part in the film “Midnight”. Unlike his lover, who first appeared in films as a five-year-old child. Their story began when Kunis turned 18, and Macaulay was already 21 years old. Their love story was wonderful, but Mila decided to break off relations with Macaulay, and there are 2 versions about this.

First: Mila simply did not want to date a man who constantly sits at home. Although the actress admitted that Culkin was a wonderful, erudite and well-read person, she could no longer put up with his solitude.

Second: Macaulay Culkin used illegal drugs, and Mila Kunis could not stand her lover’s constant dependence.

But after the girl left, Macaulay’s passion for drugs only worsened, so much so that he began using heroin. Over time, the addiction has decreased, but addicts are rarely “has-beens.” Let's hope that the actor will no longer need the help of a specialist.

Mila Kunis - family and biography of the actress

The family of a mechanical engineer and physics teacher, into which Milena Markovna Kunis was born, lived in Chernivtsi in Ukraine. Having emigrated to America in 1991, Mila’s parents radically changed their lives and the life of their daughter. From a state of prosperity and security, the family found itself in a foreign environment with only $250 in hand - emigrants were not allowed to bring more. The most difficult thing for Mila was the first year of her stay in the country - not knowing the language, not understanding the customs of another culture, the girl felt “... deaf and blind at the age of seven,” as she later wrote in her essay.

Having started acting at the age of nine in commercials and minor roles in TV series, Mila Kunis step by step climbed the steps to the artistic Olympus, gaining more and more fame and love from fans.

Macaulay Culkin in 2020

In recent years, Macaulay has continued his creative activities, participating in shows on YouTube and running his own channel. The actor also created the website “Bunny Ears”.

He spawned many memes on the Internet thanks to his T-shirt with a photo of actor Ryan Gosling, who is wearing a T-shirt with a young Macaulay Culkin.

And in 2020, Macaulay starred in a Google commercial, where he repeated the Christmas dinner scene from the movie Home Alone.

The actor is currently dating actress Brenda Song, who was his co-star in the film Secret Obsession.

Bright childhood

Macaulay Carson Culkin was born in New York City on August 26, 1980, to former Broadway actor Keith Culkin and Patricia Buntrup, a telephone operator. Together with him, his parents raised four more brothers and two sisters. From an early age, Macaulay, who was named after the writer T. B. Macaulay and the American General C. Carson, amazed those around him with his acting abilities.

Therefore, at the age of 4, he was already performing on the stage, appearing before the public on the stage of the New York Philharmonic in the play “Bach Bables.” Macaulay’s attractive appearance also contributed to his success, thanks to which he was actively invited to advertising projects. It is not surprising that already at the age of 6 the talented boy had his own agent.

In general, the first years of the actor’s life were not easy. The family lived in a tiny apartment, there was always not enough money. This did not stop parents from providing their children with religious education. For 5 years, the future actor studied at the Catholic School of St. Joseph, where he continued to absorb the traditions of home religious culture. Then, when Macaulay began to act in theater and cinema, he was enrolled in the Children's Vocational School. Children studied here who, due to being busy in the field of serving art, simply did not have time to attend a regular school. In addition, Culkin studied choreography at the School of American Ballet for some time.

The fame and success of young Macaulay Culkin

Macaulay was born in 1980 on September 26 in the family of an ordinary telephone operator and a former actor. He lived and grew up in a small apartment in Manhattan among his brothers and sisters, of whom there were six. Maybe that’s why he was so easily able to play a smart child from a large family in the film “Home Alone.”

By the way, his younger brother Kieran also starred in this and other films with Macaulay. Usually the boy was, so to speak, in the wings, playing either his brother or the main character himself in childhood, fortunately the family resemblance is obvious. Later, Kiran managed to make his way onto the big screen and starred in a number of films, including the recent Movie 43.

The actor’s filmography in his youth consists entirely of films that are still popular today. “Home Alone”, “Home Alone 2”, “Richie Richie” and others are an example of a real family movie that carries not only a pleasant pastime, but also a deep meaning.

Mila Kunis: 'My dad closes his eyes when I chop things off on screen'

A native of the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi, taken by her parents for permanent residence in America at the age of 7, she is becoming a big star before her eyes. After playing Natalie Portman's rival in the acclaimed ballet thriller Black Swan, the exotic beauty received offers that were better than each other. Together with pop idol Justin Timberlake, Kunis played in the youth comedy “Friendship Sex,” which she brought to Moscow, where, by the way, she had never been before. And in the remake of “The Wizard of Oz” undertaken by “Spider-Man” director Sam Raimi, Mila Markovna will play the main role.

Mila speaks Russian with a funny accent and Odessa intonations, but we spoke English: Timberlake was present nearby.

— Filming “Sex...” was probably easier than filming “Black Swan”?

— Actually, we worked 18 to 20 hours a day. But of all the 24/7 shoots, this was without a doubt the most fun I've ever had. We had a lot of fun and weren't bored at all.

— Do you like romantic comedies?

— There are no genres that I don’t love. But my favorite movie of all time is Pretty Woman! I'm not ashamed of this at all. Besides, I don't consider Friendly Sex a romantic comedy. This is a comedy about friends who happen to fall in love with each other. Personally, this is how I see it all.

— My American friend, a critic for the Variety newspaper, told me to tell you, Mila, that you were the best in “Black Swan.” She even received a prize in Venice for this role. Did you expect this film to be such a breakthrough?

- Yes and no. Probably not. This success came as a surprise to me. I was happy to just star in Darren Aronofsky’s film and gain experience from him. If he had asked me, I would have cleaned his shoes.

- That’s how she cleaned it! - Justin Timberlake, who is not used to staying in the shadows for long, inserts.

“Yes, I cleaned it,” Mila jokes softly. - But just once!

Justin stretches his legs out from under the table, showing off his suede shoes:

“She cleaned my shoes too, but I think she could have done it better.” She still has to learn and learn.

“Yes, yes,” Mila waves tiredly. “I think that none of those who worked on Black Swan expected it to be such a success. And I am very humbled by such a positive reaction. I swear to you that I never even thought that after this film everything would magically change for me. I just wanted to work with these people in this picture, I wanted to grow and learn. But what is true is true: “Black Swan” gave me fame and opened many doors.

Mila thought that she and Timberlake were having “friendship sex,” but it turned out to be love sex.

— You have the image of a wild girl, both in “Black Swan” and in “Sex for Friendship” you play a lot of naughty things. How do your Ukrainian parents react to this?

“My American parents react the same way,” Justin Timberlake sighs, although he was not asked. - Parents are parents.

“My mom and dad are very proud that I have succeeded in the most important thing in life - I am doing what I really like to do. That's all they wanted - for their daughter to have a life that would bring her pleasure. As for my pranks in the movies, they are understanding people. They know that this is a job, they pay me money for it. Although dad sometimes can’t look at the screen when I do all sorts of things there. He turns away and closes his eyes. Deep down, my parents wanted me to become a doctor. But it turned out how it turned out.

— Do you have any relatives in Ukraine?

- No, no one else. All my relatives are now in Germany, Israel and the USA. But at home with our parents we still speak Russian...
