Macaulay Culkin Celebrates 32nd Birthday At End Of A Hectic Month
Macaulay Culkin is turning 32 on Sunday, and any chance of the milestone passing by quietly is gone after reports close to a month ago that the former child star is killing himself with a drug and painkiller addiction turned him into hot tabloid fodder.
For the past three weeks the news has been filled with reports of Macaulay Culkin’s destructive lifestyle, which reportedly included nearly non-stop drug use. After the initial reports of his addiction, there have been several follow-ups including denials from Macaulay’s camp and reports on nearly every movement the actor made.
Recent reports are a bit more uplifting. His longtime but now-former girlfriend Mila Kunis reportedly wants to help Macaulay Culkin get into rehab, and the Daily Mail reported that he has been looking better in recent days.
But instead of dwelling on his current sorry state, many people are instead using Macaulay Culkin’s 32nd birthday as a chance to look back on the work the once squishy cute actor did. Culkin was born into somewhat of an acting family, omg! from Yahoo! noted, with his father Kit Culkin working as a small-time Broadway actor.
Macaulay Culkin himself has been acting in one form or another since he was a little more than a toddler. When he was 4 his father got him in the stage production of Bach Babies with the New York Philharmonic. Macaulay Culkin had his breakout role in the 1989 comedy Uncle Buck with John Candy, and became a household name the following year with Home Alone.
Though Macaulay Culkin hasn’t been in many movies over the past decade or so, he did some work in television and for a time was a regular on the television series Robot Chicken.

THIRTY-TWO? OMGosh, where have the years gone?
IF it's true he is "killing killing himself with a drug and painkiller addiction" why the phuq doesn't someone intervene to save him? Damn! I'll intervene, I have nothing for him to sue me for.
This is insane, DO SOMETHING SOMEONE!

I hate this crap, but I feel sorry for the young man. He didn't have a chance, his family is dis-functional and he should have been given the proper guidance when he was small.

If this young man is slowly killing himself, here's a thought…. WHY DOESN'T SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING TO HELP HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE? JESUS CHRIST!

I'm sure he has more than a chance than alot of young people that nobody know their names!

I just don't understand why young people who have everything going for them just throw their lives away. Life is too short. Don't do drugs and don't drink. You will have a much more fulfilling life this way.

So guess everyone forgot that this poor kid had some emotional issues, he also spent time with the deceased Michael Jackson , and yes his father didn't manage his career properly. So what does he do – live off the royalties of the Home Alone movies. Drugs didn't initially scare this kid – life did. Drug rehab for celebs don't work. Even in a rehab someone is selling their story and making a profit – it's a shame really.

There are many who will laugh at this, but I believe he needs the healing that only Jesus Christ can give. Not a new age guru's camp but a full embrace of Jesus. Christianity is not a religion it is a committment.

Jesus Christ is the answer

As a catholic/agnostic, I will say this… Shut the hell up on how he needs religious commitment. I mean honestly, that spiritual stuff is great and all, but he needs hands on attention, not some bible story telling time and bigotry. He needs people who will be there for him all the time, who won't fall into his manipulative actions and begging for what he wants (drugs, if that's really the case). He needs people who will support him, not talk poorly of him, and will bring him in rather than shut him out.
I mean, he was a child star. That stuff's heavy. Living a pampered life when everyone thought you were adorable, when you were in every magazine and film. Going from that to someone who's rarely given a second glance, even in auditions, is pretty hard. It's not selfish of him to act childish, because he grew up under the illusion that the world revolved around him. So it's not funny, and he doesn't need to commit to any religion. He needs people, not tabloids.
