MACAULY CULKIN: WHERE IS HE NOW?

As Macaulay Culkin celebrates his 32nd birthday, we take a look at his charmed turned tragic life.

Born in Manhattan on August 26, 1980, Macaulay Culkin was a born performer. His father Kit Culkin was a small-time Broadway actor himself and encouraged his adorable son (the third of seven children, including older sister Dakota who was struck by a car and killed in 2008) to also get involved in the arts. Macaulay’s first part came when he was just 4 years old in the stage production of “Bach Babies” with the New York Philharmonic. Five years later in 1989, he landed his biggest role to date in the John Candy comedy 'Uncle Buck.'
