He’s the cheeky, blond-haired, blue-eyed kid the world fell in love within such beloved classics as Home Alone, Uncle Buck and My Girl. But despite earning a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Kevin McCallister, becoming a household name at just 10 years old would have catastrophic consequences for Macaulay Culkin, who turned 40 last month.
“Wanna feel old?” he jokingly asked his fans on Twitter. “I’m 40,” he quipped on his milestone birthday, sparking a flurry of support and memories from his fans.
From drug abuse, a failed teen marriage, box office bombs and an emancipation of his parents, child star Macaulay faced more drama than most adults deal with in a lifetime.
But a source close to the actor tells Woman’s Day he is ready to put the past behind him, as he and his long-time girlfriend, Disney star Brenda Song, 32, prepare to welcome their first child!
“He never wanted a kid after having such a rough upbringing, but Brenda made him see it from a completely different perspective. He’s learned from his dad’s mistakes and is anxious not to repeat them with his own son or daughter,” says the source, who says friends are waiting to hear happy baby news any day now.
