„Home Alone“ star Macaulay Culkin reflected on rising to stardom at the age of 9 after being honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On Friday, the 43-year-old actor received the 2,765th star on the historic Hollywood Boulevard sidewalk. During an interview with Fox News Digital, Culkin weighed in on whether he knew starring in the classic 1990 film would lead him to this moment.
„I was 9 years old and so, like, you know, you kind of have to look at it from that perspective,“ he said during the ceremony. „You have no idea what’s going on.
„I mean, you’re a schmucky kid, and I just showed up.“
„I always knew my lines. I always found my light and just tried to be professional and charming at the same time. That’s the best I could do.“
Earlier this month, Culkin competed on „Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,“ losing to „Saturday Night Live“ star Rachel Dratch by one dollar. During his interview with Fox News Digital, the New York native joked about being a trivia clue on the long-running game show 42 times.
„Douglas Adams would be very proud,“ he quipped, referencing the author of „The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.“ In Adams‘ 1979 comedy science fiction book, the number 42 is the „Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.“

Culkin also shared his thoughts on being a pop culture mainstay for over 30 years.
„When it comes to my life and stuff like that, then I kind of can’t equate it to somebody else,“ Culkin said.
