What happened to the boy who used to be in charge?

At the age of 65,438+08, macaulay culkin, an American child star, became famous all over the world because of his successful performance in the movie Home alone at the age of 8.

Two years ago, Macaulay, who was under 16 years old, met Rachel, an actress and child star his age, at new york Vocational Children's School.

Miner. At that time, Rachel was performing Anne Frank's Diary about Broadway. They fell in love at first sight and immediately announced to reporters that they were getting married! The news spread like wildfire, and the news media launched a heated discussion about it, which once became a gossip topic in Hollywood and even the whole United States. Soon, Macaulay and Rachel, who were under 18 years old, formally got married, and public opinion gave mixed opinions on the marriage and love of the two famous child stars. In fact, there are social and family reasons behind the marriage of child stars.

One shot is red.

Macaulay's father Kit and his mother Patricia lived together for 265,438+0 years and had seven children, including Macaulay and Kieran. Macaulay has been smart and naive since childhood, and he is a piece of acting material. An accidental opportunity. Eight-year-old Macaulay stood out among thousands of candidates and was chosen as the hero of Alone by the director of 20th Century Fox Film Company in the United States. Macaulay lived up to expectations.

The image of the little hero in the film is vividly interpreted. The film was a great success because of his outstanding performance, which brought a huge box office income of $820 million to Fox. Macaulay himself became an instant hit and became a world-famous child star. He not only won the love of countless fans, but also was regarded as a "golden chicken" by Hollywood and became a hot commodity for filmmakers. Everyone praised him as a "little king" and a "little god", spoiled him and gave him countless gifts. With everyone's flattery, connivance and indulgence, Macquarie Jr. puts on a "big show" from time to time, litters his personal belongings and toys such as water guns in the film crew, and ignores others, but no one dares to get angry with this "golden rooster".

A father is a father.

Macaulay's father, Kit, is of poor quality and loves money as much as his life. Church sacristy administrators regard their children as cash cows, especially as agents who firmly control little Macaulay. He used his children as bargaining chips and kept bargaining with the producers. He once threatened Fox: "If you don't let Macaulay play the leading role in My Good Son, I won't let him make a sequel to Alone!" He also forced the film company to agree to let his daughter play Mackley's sister Quinn in Good Son. Just because of this movie, he earned 8 million dollars from Macaulay. 1993, he had another fierce quarrel with the producer of Starwood, and threatened Macaulay's strike again, which completely angered the producer. Fed up with Kit's behavior, Fox nicknamed him "Hell Watchdog" and decided to get rid of him. "The husband is rich and the woman is glorious, the father is humble and the son is mean"-Macaulay began to be left out in Hollywood because of his father Kit's disappointing performance.

The separation of father and mother

Macaulay's parents are exposed to their children's light and live a life of nothing. They are insatiable, fighting endlessly for the huge money Macquarie earned. Patricia, the mother, accused her husband Kit of "excessive sexual desire" and "infidelity" to the Supreme Court, and even reported that Kit beat her, dragged her to the balcony on the 20th floor and threatened to push her down. The deterioration of parents' relationship and family tragedy cast a shadow over Macaulay's young mind. Coupled with the special pressure of "successful childhood", Macaulay began to live a dissolute life, combing his hair, dyeing all kinds of strange colors, skipping classes continuously and not sleeping before 3 am every day. He was a heavy drinker and scribbled on the walls of his room, which was filled with nicotine smoke and the stench of garbage. Neighbors hardly recognize him, fearing that their children will learn badly and will not let them go to Macaulay's house again. Photographers of film companies often go to sidewalks or nightclubs in Manhattan and take Macaulay back to shoot. In the spotlight, his eyes are black and listless, and his eyelids are always drooping. Because Macaulay's four films, My Good Son, Ricky Rick, Richard in the Magic Book Country and Dad, Give me my money back, were not very valuable at the box office, and the producers were very dissatisfied. Macaulay gradually lost interest and fans left him, making him a lonely person since he was a child. 1994, Fox finally kicked Macaulay out like a foreign body.

Since then, Macaulay has stopped making movies. After some hesitation, he officially announced on 1995 that he would never make a movie again! The Kuljian family, which once won the envy of all American families, has never recovered, and the child star who once shone brilliantly seems to have fallen.

......

When Macaulay 15 years old, his parents parted ways. But they are still fighting for the custody of their children, especially the millions of dollars in the names of Macaulay and his brother Kieran (also a child star). It is estimated that Macaulay alone has a wealth of $6.5438+0.7 million. This huge sum of money is kept in a sealed savings account. According to the relevant regulations, Macaulay has no right to use a penny of his savings before he comes of age. Macaulay's income from filming was once the only income in the family. Because I haven't worked in the past two years, my family's finances have dried up and I can't even pay the rent. So the whole family was driven out of the house by the landlord and lived on the streets.

Mackley Jinke, a child star, starred in two episodes of Alone, which was a great success in 1990s. The first episode is still the most popular comedy in film history.

Macaulay Kekin, who was only ten years old at that time, was nominated for best actor in comedy for his outstanding performance as Gavin, becoming the youngest nominee in history.

If you still remember the lovely child star Macaulay King in "Alone", please be careful with "Eighteen Changes of Men"!

This child star, who has been popular for nine years, has finally returned to the big screen recently, but his style may make you unrecognizable, not because he has grown up, but because he is the queen of costume.

Macquarie Kin, who has tasted the popularity of mainstream Hollywood movies, chose to start with low-cost independent production this time. In The Party Monster, which is based on a true story, he plays a gay disguised queen, Michael Alig, who revels in a bar in new york every night, but is finally imprisoned for serial murder. Macaulay Kinkin was fascinated by this story because it was so dramatic that no one would believe it if it wasn't true.

In the film, Macaulay Kin not only wears heavy makeup and dresses, but also imitates Michael Alig's female images and various eccentricities. However, he said that he didn't consider what fans would think of him. Anyway, everyone knows that he is not gay, but if someone thinks he is, he doesn't care. For this film, he personally visited Michael Alig in prison, hoping to learn more about his inner world.
