Macaulay Culkin is one of those actors who garnered fame at a very young age. Since being a child, he has always hit the tabloids for various reasons. The Home Alone actor has never shied away from being transparent about his personal life.

Macaulay Culkin on his relationship with Father’s Day

In his latest Instagram post, Culkin shared a photo of a Father’s Day gift box which had a Star Wars theme. This led him to write about his own Father’s Day celebrations ahead of the occasion.

In his caption, The Good Son actor wrote, “If you know a little about me then you’d know I’ve had a complicated relationship with Father’s Day in the past.” 

The actor added that since becoming a dad himself, he decided to “reinvent the wheel.” Culkin said that instead of getting extra sleep, he tries to make the occasion of his boys rather than making it about himself. Because they are the ones who make the actor father. He wittily added, “No offense to Brenda.”

The Pagemaster actor revealed that in his home, Father’s Day is not as celebrated as the family celebrates birthdays or Christmas; however, “it does mop the floor of such holidays as St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and the 4th of July.” Culkin added that he tries to do fun things for his children on Father’s Day. He continued that the occasion is a special day.

The actor further thanked Lucas Film because they sent him the gift box, as things in the box were meant more for his children to enjoy. The actor said that the occasion is not for him but for the people who make him feel like a father.
