Overview
- Culkin outlined three boundaries on the SmartLess podcast: no approaches at the dinner table, no approaches when he is with his children, and no following him to the bathroom.
- He said he has to 'gird' himself for public outings and emphasized taking control of interactions with the public.
- The actor linked his firm boundaries to becoming famous very young, calling those years 'difficult' and 'tricky' without the emotional tools to navigate them.
- He and partner Brenda Song keep their two children, Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, out of the spotlight, reinforcing his focus on privacy.
- After stepping back from Hollywood as a teen, Culkin has returned selectively with his Nostalgic Night live events and roles in Zootopia 2 and Fallout.
