Everything Macaulay Culkin And Brenda Song Have Said About Parenting Their 2 Kids

In December 2023, Macaulay Culkin told Entertainment Tonight that his eldest son, Dakota, had already watched “Home Alone.” He shared Dakota’s thoughts, “I already showed it to him last year, he thinks it’s so funny,” he added. “I convinced my oldest that he’s the kid in the movie. I said, ‘Remember you had yellow hair? Remember when you were getting the bad guys?’” Macaulay added that eventually, Dakota gave in and said he remembered everything, which led him to playfully call his son a liar. 

Later in the day, Macaulay received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, with Brenda Song and their boys watching. In his speech, the “Richie Rich” star thanked Song for giving his life a new meaning by giving him a loving family. He also called Song and their children his “three favorite people.” It’s sweet to see Macaulay thrive with his chosen family, because he didn’t have it easy growing up. 

When he appeared on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast, Macaulay shared that his father was immensely jealous of his success and resorted to physical and mental abuse to express his disdain. He reasoned that his father’s envy stemmed from his inability to make it big as an actor. The father and son have been estranged since Macaulay’s emancipation at 16. Macaulay might be relatively new to fatherhood, but he seems to have already broken the cycle of overly strict parenting by getting matching mohawks with Dakota.
