Kieran Culkin is opening up about growing up with his massive and famous family in New York City. Kieran, who stars as Roman Roy on "Succession," is one of seven kids shared by Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup. The pair never married, though their split in the 1990s and ensuing custody battle became tabloid fodder because Kieran's brother Macaulay had become very famous after starring in 1990's "Home Alone" franchise. Kieran revealed in an interview with Esquire published March 27 that his dad - an actor himself - had all seven try to be actors, though only Macaulay (who his siblings call Mack), Kieran, and Rory pursued it seriously.

The family grew up in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, and Kieran says that even though he was just a kid himself, he felt bad for the way fame affected Macaulay's life. "Poor f*cking guy," he told Esquire of his brother.

Macaulay Culkin is a household name in America. His rise to fame in the early 90s as a child actor with his iconic role in the Christmas classic, “Home Alone” made him one of the most recognizable child stars at the time. Although his career has had its ups and downs since then, he remains an important figure in popular culture – many of his movies still resonate with audiences today.

In this article, we will take a closer look at some of Macaulay Culkin‘s best works throughout his career and explore how they have shaped both pop culture and Culkin’s own personal fortunes over time. From family favorites to coming-of-age classics, these movies are sure to be remembered for years to come.

Top 10 Highest-Grossing Macaulay Culkin Movies

Without a doubt, Macaulay Culkin‘s movies have left an indelible mark on popular culture. His films have also enjoyed some amount of financial success.

Jenna Ortega is a force to be reckoned with. The young starlet began her career with several bit parts in TV and movies in the early 2010s. By the middle of the decade, she enjoyed a stint on the "Richie Rich" series and appearances in "The Cookie Mobster" and "After Words." But it wasn't until her role as young Jane in "Jane the Virgin" that she began to turn a few heads. Then, in 2019, she starred as Ellie in Netflix's soapy crime drama "You," in which she dished up a star-turning performance. She went from promising talent to superstar overnight, so it's no wonder that she's become a household name. Everyone wants to work with her.

In the four years since her game-changing TV gig, she's landed roles in countless more projects, including Ti West's retro-slasher "X," the Dave Grohl-backed "Studio 666," and the award-nominated, Tim Burton-directed "Wednesday" series on Netflix.
