Instead of protecting him, Mr. and Mrs. Culkin pampered their son too much. At the age of 14, Macaulay spent the night at a hotel with his 17-year-old girlfriend.

When it comes to Hollywood child stars, the name Macaulay Culkin will immediately appear in the minds of movie enthusiasts. Culkin was born on August 26, 1980, and has been acting since he was 4 years old. 

By the age of 9, he was famous around the world thanks to his role as Kevin McCallister in the hit Christmas series ‘Home Alone’ (roughly translated: Home Alone).

At that time, Macaulay was paid extremely high salaries, up to millions of dollars. In the following years, the boy continuously accepted invitations to act in films and commercials. 

At just 12 years old, Macaulay Culkin became a millionaire, holding a lump of money in his hand.

It was thought that the child star’s life from now on would be extremely happy and joyful. But who would have thought that it was the popularity that caused ‘little Kevin’ to live a depraved life and become addicted to drugs for a long time. Besides, the fact that his parents did not closely educate him also indirectly pushed Culkin into tragedy.

Parents indulge and do not protect their children from the aura of fame

Famous since he was a child, Macaulay Culkin couldn’t avoid complacency. Smart parents will know how to help their children balance between stage glory and everyday life, but Mr. and Mrs. Culkin are not like that.

Instead of protecting them, they pampered their son too much. At the age of 14, Macaulay spent the night at a hotel with his 17-year-old girlfriend.

 At the age of 15, when his father asked him to clean his room, he showed disobedience. 

Annoyed, the father swung his hand and slapped his son, so the ‘star’ immediately… picked up the phone and called 911. Macaulay’s parents later divorced. Because of their son’s huge assets, the two sued fiercely to win custody of the child.

This hurt Macaulay, indirectly leading to his later decline. At the age of 18, the ‘child star’ announced her marriage to actress Rachel Miner but divorced 2 years later. 

In 2002, Macaulay dated ‘black swan’ Mila Kunis. The couple was together for 8 years, until 2010.

While dating Mila Kunis, Macaulay was constantly involved in scandals about using banned substances. Instead of restarting his acting career, in 2004, he was caught by the police with 17.3g of marijuana, 16.5mg of Alprazolam (a sedative that causes central nervous system depression) and 32mg of Clonazepam ( sedatives have the potential to cause addiction).

Accordingly, the actor had to pay a fine of 4,000 USD (nearly 93 million VND) and go to a drug treatment center, receiving a 3-year suspended sentence. 

In addition to banned substances, Macaulay also frequently went to nightclubs and wasted money on alcohol parties.

There was a time when ‘baby Kelvin’ shocked public opinion because he appeared on the street with a skinny, extremely haggard appearance. Macaulay is also often rumored to have died from drug overdose.

Rebuild your life through love with a girl of Vietnamese origin

After many years of depravity, Macaulay Culkin made fans shed tears of joy when he was determined to quit smoking and return to his acting career.

 In July 2017, Macaulay publicly dated Vietnamese actress Brenda Song. Since the day he had love, ‘baby Kelvin’ loves life and is much more optimistic. On his personal page, Macaulay regularly updates happy and healthy images.

Child stars also actively participated in entertainment shows and rebuilt their image. Although he cannot achieve the same glory as before, Macaulay currently makes fans feel secure. It is known that he and Brenda Song also had plans to get married.

Consequences of children becoming famous too early

Children becoming famous too early can greatly affect many aspects such as: Health, educational and psychological development,… Being famous too early can cause complacency, making children think that they are more talented and smarter than others.

 Besides, if children are exposed to money early, they will easily lose the basics, which will be difficult to teach later. Children also lose the innocence and innocence of their age.

In order for a child’s talent and personality to develop side by side, parents need to pay attention to their living, studying and living regime.

 A harmonious combination of these activities is essential for children’s current development as well as their future achievements.

Besides, children’s learning also needs to be guaranteed. Because who can be sure that children can survive by singing or performing arts until they become adults?

 Meanwhile, if children are not educated, they will completely lack basic knowledge.
