Macaulay Culkin spoke about his troubled relationship with his father, Kit Culkin. The actor revealed on the Sibling Revelry podcast that he hasn’t spoken to Kit in 30 years.
On March 31, Macaulay Culkin shared dark details about his relationship with his father, with whom he hasn’t had contact in three decades. The 44-year-old actor gave the interview on the Sibling Revelry podcast hosted by siblings Kate and Oliver Hudson.
“He’s a man who had seven kids, now has four grandchildren, and none of them want anything to do with him,” Macaulay said about Kit Culkin, now 80 years old. Kit was a Broadway stage actor.
“Sometimes I think, I can’t believe he was like that. He had all these lovely kids. It’s crazy,” the *Home Alone* star confessed.
Kit Culkin managed Macaulay’s career when he was a child. The actor had earned a fortune of $50 million, which his father kept secret.
“My dad would hide newspapers from me so I wouldn’t read things about him or find out how much I was making,” Macaulay told New York Magazine in 2021.
“I had millions and millions of dollars in the bank, and my mom couldn’t pay rent because she was spending all her money on lawyers. We were about to be evicted from our apartment,” he said at the time.
Macaulay Culkin also reported that his father physically and mentally abused him and his siblings. “He was a bad man. […] I could show you all my scars if I wanted,” he revealed in a 2018 episode of Marc Maron’s podcast.
Today, Macaulay is married to Brenda Song and is the father of Dakota (3) and Carson (2).
