Macaulay Culkin has been recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and his Home Alone mother, Catherine O'Hara, has dedicated a moving speech to him repeating one of the best scenes from the film 33 years later.
Macaulay Culkin was one of the most popular child stars in Hollywood in the 90s. He was the protagonist of the first two Home Alone films, the moving My Girl or the chilling Jacob's Ladder and The Good Son, among other projects where He also had time to participate with Michael Jackson in a video clip, although their relationship was in question during the following years.
The actor had everything to be the next big star as soon as he turned 15, but a series of bad professional decisions, his addiction to various drugs, being the victim of a tyrannical father or tragedies such as the death of his sister Dakota, formed a cocktail. from which it was impossible for him to escape and plunge into a dark hole.
After years of rehabilitation, the actor recently returned to acting with American Horror Story 10. Now, more than 30 years after his presence in Home Alone, the performer has received one of the greatest recognitions in his career: his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A distinction that the biggest stars in the world of entertainment treasure and that comes on Christmas Eve, a time that the actor rejects due to a trauma since Home Alone.
For the ceremony, Macaulay has been surrounded by his family, his wife Brenda Song, with whom he has a son named Dakota in honor of his sister, and such beloved companions as Seth Green, Paris Jackson, Natasha Lyonne, his brothers Quinn Culkin and Rory Culkin and, of course, Catherine O'Hara, his forgetful mother in Home Alone.
It was precisely during his speech where the interpreter was seen most emotional, melting into a hug through tears, which was reminiscent of the reunion between mother and son in a scene from the Christmas movie.
Macaulay's portrayal of Kevin McAllister was flawless, presenting us with a little boy embarking on an extraordinary adventure, the actress expressed. "I recognize the tremendous effort you put into it, yet you made acting seem like the most effortless thing in the world," she continued, showering him with praise.
"Thank you for letting me be a part of this joyous moment, playing your fictional mother who left you home alone not just once, but twice. I am incredibly proud of you," O'Hara concluded warmly.
