In a star-studded ceremony, Macaulay Culkin, the forever-young face of Home Alone, Richie Rich and My Girl, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, as reported by ABC News.
The 43-year-old actor, who has stamped his name in the film industry with his memorable roles, was honored in a ceremony that was as much about love as it was about recognition.
“I feel such esteem from this whole thing,” Culkin said, his voice echoing with gratitude. “There’s so many people that I love, and to feel that love back is just amazing.”
Culkin also extended his heartfelt thanks to former child star Brenda Song, the mother of his two sons. His voice wavered with emotion as he said, “You’re my champion. You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known. You’ve given me just all my purpose. You’ve given me family.”
