Macaulay Culkin is turning 42 today. He is perhaps the most popular child actor of all time, short of Shirley Temple. But beyond his roles as Kevin in Home Alone and the nephew of Uncle Buck, what do we know about him?
In honor of his birthday, here are a few facts about the man behind the boy we know as Kevin McAllister.
He Was In This Frightening Sprite Commercial
Culkin made around $20 million in his brief film career. The star was so successful that he “retired” from acting at 14. But with his fame came plenty of endorsement opportunities. He starred in this absolutely bonkers Sprite commercial that broke the fourth wall at least three times. No wonder child actors are so messed up. Even his co-star was fake.

This Is, In Fact, Macaulay Culkin’s Most Underrated Movie
I am probably the only person who thinks this, but I think Macaulay’s most underrated movie is The Pagemaster.
Is the plot muddled? Yes.
Is the animation uninspired? Absolutely.
Is it a movie I watched a dozen times as a kid? You bet!
Tom Morgan
Movie: The Pagemaster
Year: 1994
I suppose you can credit Phil Hartman’s role as Kap’n Karl from the Pee-Wee Herman Show in picking up that pirate accent. Starring @IncredibleCulk, Pagemaster also had @SirPatStew, Jim Cummings, and Ed Gilbert.#PhilHartman @CursedAni pic.twitter.com/0BqAn84YMn— The Voice Artist’s Spotlight (@vas_90s) August 18, 2022
