Macaulay Culkin NOT Addicted To Heroin, According To Reps
Despite earlier reports insisting that Macaulay Culkin has only months to live thanks to a crippling heroin addiction, a rep for the Home Alone star insists that he’s not addicted to heroin and is doing just fine.
The National Enquirer first broke the news that actor and former child star Macaulay Culkin is hopelessly addicted to heroin and that his friends fear he only has months to live. “Macaulay Culkin is hooked on drugs and it’s killing him!” an “insider” told the tabloid. “He’s been hooked for a year and a half, and his drug of choice is either heroin or oxycodone. Mac is surrounding himself with junkies and lowlifes. It’s a real tragedy.”
Of course, recent photos of an emaciated and deathly-looking Culkin have fueled the rumor, but the top-notch reporting of the Enquirer probably should have aroused our suspicions right away.
Culkin’s camp blasted the rumors regarding the actor’s various drug addictions Wednesday, debunking them as completely fictitious, according to NY Daily. A rep also told TMZ that concerns over Culkin’s impending death are also unfounded. “The report in the National Enquirer that Macaulay Culkin is addicted to heroin and assorted hallucinogenics is not only categorically without merit, but it is also impossibly and ridiculously fictitious,” the press report said, adding, “We beseech the responsible media to consider the source and its reputation and to please not perpetuate this destructive and insulting story by pursuing it any further.”
The tabloid alleged that a “close friend” told them that Culkin was on a downward spiral following his breakup with Mila Kunis in 2010, and that the actor spends roughly $6,000 a month on drugs.
We’re guessing that by “close friend,” they really mean “fictional reactionary.”
What do you think? Is Macaulay Culkin a heroin addict? Do you trust the National Enquirer?

I guess he's just learned to live without eating. One day he will look at a picture of himself or look in the mirror and say "my God, what have I done." At least I hope he does.

I really hope and pray that he gets the help that he needs…w/ all of the money at his disposal, I'm afraid that he'll wind up to be another statistic of all the talented, beautiful artists who met their demise to this horrific drug. PLEASE WAKE UP! Also, his agent needs to step in…that's part of his job title.

Time to make the change.

He looks like HELL…especially considering his young age…I don't trust the National Enquirer but still…I hope he's got SOME positive influence around him to help…
Aug 12, 2012
Judging by those pictures he was high as a kite on SOMETHING! If he dies the headline will be sad…."Star of "Home Alone" 78 years ago dies." Something like "Debby Boone who had one hit song back in the early 1900's is gone."

He looks like Dennis Leary's son. WOW.

I think that the reason he is doing so poorly is because Culkin and Michael Jackson were best friends and I think he is still in mourning. I think this is a result because of Michael's death… So Macaulay please stop doing this to yourself because Michael would want you to live and take care of yourself not do what you're doing to yourself now…you're in my prayers Macaulay…

never in my 61 years have a met a dope addict who also wasted money on hallucinogenic drugs. that statement alone raises my bullshit meter to the top. Junkies do heroin; they don't trip.

the enquiror usually ends up being right. he needs help!

in english:
Give A ROLE IN a movie, get him out of the mud, if it has no solution. Take him to dinner with some shaman peyote, mushrooms or ayahuasca to purge the body mentally and emotionally.
the idea is to re-energize feeding on healthy debidamente.
en español:
dendle un papel en una película, sacarlo del barro, si no tiene solución. Llévalo a comerr con algun chamán, peyote , hongos o ayahuasca para purgar el cuerpo mental y emocionalmente.
la idea es dar un nuevo impulso a la alimentación sana debidamente.

Hopefully he will hit rock bottom because that is what it takes for some addicts to get help. Some addicts die before they get to help. He may not be able to take a whole lot more of whatever it is he's on as he looks awful – looks like heroin, meth or one of those drugs that emaciates the person. This is very sad to see. What a cute and talented child he was, but obviously troubled. I read that Mila Kunis thought he was the most intelligent person she had ever met. With talent and possible ultra intelligence he could be predisposed to major mental issues. They sometimes do go hand-in-hand. I so hope that he can be saved and receive treatment. I have a sister who went in and out of rehab so many times I can't count and she never recovered. She usually got right back into drugs the day she was released from rehab. She passed away a little over a year ago and was an addict most of her adult life. It's such a sad disease because there is absolutely nothing that you can do for an addict unless they want help and most don't because they don't think they really have a problem.

He looks like Gary Busie, screwed up to the max!
Nov 14, 2012
well he looks like someone on drugs&he has aged alot&hes young! hope ya wake up kiddo your a great actor, but wont have any jobs like you are!
Dec 9, 2012
He was such a cute little boy… He does look sick in some way, and of course he'd deny the drug use. But I hope whatever is going on with him, he gets help before it's too late.
Dec 11, 2012
Of course hes not addicted to heroin. Just like I'm not addicted to skittles!

As someone who had a decade-long romance with intravenous cocaine and heroin use, I can tell you that kid's on SOMETHING. Poor bastard, I hate to see that happen. I remember when Drew Barrymore (also a huge child star) went through a hard-living period after her early-80s fame. But she got clean and turned out WONDERFULLY. I wish the same for Macaulay. Hope he gets the stones to finally put down the needle. It'll destroy your soul.
