The tragedy of losing his biological father haunted the star of the movie "Home Alone" for a long time.

American actor Macaulay Culkin recently confided on social media that his tragic relationship with his biological father makes it very difficult for him to celebrate Father's Day.

In an emotional post on his personal social media account, Macaulay Culkin (43 years old) said that his experience as a father has given him a new perspective on Father's Day.

Macaulay grew up with an abusive father, which left him with complicated feelings around Father's Day. After becoming a father to two sons himself, Dakota (3) and Carson (1), Macaulay decided to change his feelings around the day.

Macaulay had been quite puzzled before when he saw people rejoicing over celebrations for their fathers.

When he became a father himself, Macaulay decided to do more activities around his children, to make the day a fun one for the boys.

"I decided to think differently, feel differently. Father's Day would not revolve around my confusion anymore, but around the people who helped me understand what it means to be a father," Macaulay shared.

In a 2018 interview, Macaulay said his relationship with his biological father - actor Kit Culkin (79 years old) - had many problems before he became a child star.

According to Macaulay, Mr. Kit Culkin has a tendency to be violent, so he often uses violence and beatings whenever his children disobey him.

"My father abused his family both physically and mentally. I can show you the scars that never fade. My father was also a jealous person. The things he worked hard to achieve all his life, I achieved before the age of 10. That made the relationship between my father and I very difficult and sad," Macaulay confided.

The actor has not had contact with his biological father for more than 25 years. He said he built his concept of being a good father through films.

"My father always made his family collapse. There are things that cannot be told, you need to really be in that situation to understand," Macaulay shared bitterly.

Actor Macaulay Culkin and his six siblings grew up in poverty. The large family lived in a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, New York, USA. During his career, Kit Culkin pursued acting on stage.

The Culkin family's life changed after Macaulay became famous as a child actor. Macaulay's ability to earn money to support the family only made his relationship with his father more difficult.

Finally, Macaulay filed a lawsuit to completely escape his parents' interference and control over his work, life and finances since he was 16 years old.

As a child, Macaulay appeared in films such as Rocket Gibraltar (1988), See You in the Morning (1989), Uncle Buck (1989), Home Alone (1990), Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)...

At the age of 14, Macaulay stopped acting due to personal turmoil. Macaulay's acting career can be summed up in the image of "a moment of glory and then a flash in the pan". Macaulay's later adult years were filled with turmoil.

He had been in trouble with the law many times for possession of illegal substances. There were times when Macaulay was emaciated and emaciated to a very alarming degree. This led to rumors that Macaulay was seriously ill and about to... die.

The story of Macaulay Culkin is one of the typical stories of the "early bloom, early fade" tragedy that happens to child stars in Hollywood.

Not having a normal childhood, feeling exploited by his parents financially, having to find his own way to grow up, in the end, in wealth and loneliness, Macaulay soon fell, slid down, and seemed unable to recover.

It was only when he entered a relationship with actress Brenda Song that Macaulay began to settle down. Currently, Macaulay appears with a healthy appearance. He has returned with a number of supporting roles in television and movies.

Macaulay has been with Brenda Song since 2017, and they live a fairly private life. The two of them work hard to keep their two young children as normal as possible.
