Macaulay Culkin’s voice leaves fans shocked: ‘Totally unexpected’
Kevin?!
Macaulay Culkin shocked some “Home Alone” fans after he spoke during a rare public appearance Friday.
Culkin, who has stayed relatively out of the spotlight, was honored at his own Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony more than 30 years after he played Kevin McCallister in 1990’s “Home Alone.”
In a heartfelt speech, the “My Girl” actor thanked several people including his publicist, lawyer and his fiancee, Brenda Song, 35, who Culkin, 43, called his “everything.”
“You’re my champion, you’re … you’re the only person happier for me today than I am,” the actor said. “You’re not only the best woman I have ever known, you’re the best person I have ever known.
“You’ve given me all my purpose,” Culkin continued, as the former “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” actress teared up. “You’ve given me family.”
He joked that after the birth of his sons, Dakota and Carson, Song was “one of my three favorite people.”
“You’re somewhere in there. But um, I love you. I love you so much,” concluded the actor. “So yeah, so to wrap things up in the spirit of the holiday season. I just want to say Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.”
Although the speech was sweet, some fans were more into hearing Culkin’s voice for the first time in years.
“Macaulay Culkin voice really sounds like that,” one user posted on X.
“This is cute but are we all gonna ignore that, that’s his voice,” a second person wrote.
“Love Macaulay Culkin but his voice is a TRAGEDY,” a third person stated.
Another noted: “I was just as taken aback by the sound of his voice – totally unexpected.”
Catherine O’Hara, who played Culkin’s mother in the “Home Alone” franchise, was also in attendance Friday.
” ‘Home Alone’ was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation,” O’Hara, 69, said. “The reason families all over the world can’t let a year go by without watching and loving ‘Home Alone’ together is because of Macaulay Culkin.”
According to the “Schitt’s Creek” star, Culkin “made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do” adding that he brings his “sweet and twisted, yet totally relatable sense of humor to every project he does.”
“Macaulay, congratulations. You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” the “Beetlejuice” star concluded. “And thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I’m so proud of you.”
