Overview
- On the Dec. 29 SmartLess podcast, the 45-year-old actor said his day-to-day quality of life rose once he pushed his father, Kit Culkin, out of his life and management.
- He reiterated that he left acting around age 14 after feeling unheard and overworked, saying he kept the lion’s share of his earnings and reclaimed autonomy.
- Culkin described himself as technically retired, noting he only “unretires” for projects he likes and that “every gig is my last.”
- He laid out three rules for fans: do not approach him at the dinner table, do not approach when he is with his children, and do not follow him to the bathroom.
- Culkin shares two young children, Dakota and Carson, with fiancée Brenda Song, and recent work has included voice roles such as in Zootopia 2.
