Macaulay Culkin Receives Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Home Alone’s Kevin McAllister won’t ever be misplaced once more — at the very least not in Hollywood.

The movie’s iconic star, Macaulay Culkin, was honored along with his very personal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at present. The ceremony included appearances from Culkin’s Party Monster co-star Natasha Lyonne and Catherine O’Hara, who performed Kevin’s considerably forgetful mother within the first two Home Alone movies.

In her speech, O’Hara paid tribute to Culkin’s presents as an actor, and his sense of humor, noting it was “A present that pricey John Hughes clearly acknowledged in Macaulay … it is a signal of intelligence in a toddler and a key to survival at any age. You have introduced that sense of candy but twisted, but completely relatable, sense of humor to every thing you could have chosen to do since Home Alone.“

Culkin could be seen wiping away tears as O’Hara wrapped up her speech. She thanked Culkin for letting her be a part of his big moment, despite the fact that she was “your fake mom that left you home alone not once but twice.”

“I’m so proud of you,” she added.

Culkin, now 43 years old, got his start in show business in the mid 1980s. By the late ’80s, he’d graduated to work in features, and had a scene stealing role in 1989’s Uncle Buck opposite John Candy. The film’s writer and director, John Hughes, took note of Culkin’s talents and then recommended him to director Chris Columbus for Home Alone (which Hughes also wrote). The film made Culkin a megastar at the age of 10. He starred in a sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and he headlined numerous other films in the period, including The Good Son, Getting Even With Dad, The Pagemaster, and Richie Rich.
