    I'm just happy he and Brenda Song found each other, seem to be so good for each other, had kids and talk about their family so fondly, proudly, and lovingly.

    I know that all we see a curated portion of their lives, but everything about it is so healing.

    This. I know what we see isn’t reality, but they seem to genuinely be happy together. It’s so nice to see

    Yeah and the way he just shows up occasionally in projects in a low key way (I last saw him in Righteous Gemstones a few years ago) makes it seem like he’s found a good balance between maintaining work either for financial or enjoyment reasons and focusing on his family.

    At a few years ago he was basically a regular on Red Letter Media, you could tell he genuinely enjoyed hanging out with the guys and talking about movies.

    I don’t really invest in famous couples, or celebrities in general, but they’ve always been a pairing I really think are so good for each other. I’ve only seen/heard positive things.

    I totally agree. I have never been into celebrity couples or celebrities really but after all the horrible stories of child actors I really enjoy seeing child actors do well. Especially ones I grew up with. 8 year old me loved Macaulay Culkin so now in my mid 30's I'm honestly really glad to see he is happy and has made an awesome life for him and his family

    He just seems like such a genuine person from recent interviews. Like, he’s there because he wants to be not because he’s obligated to.

    ‘Crazy ex story’ meaning the one where her ex went on IG, dropped a greatest-hits list of wild accusations, provided zero receipts, and expects people to treat Brenda as the crazy one because "Trust me bro?"

    lol ok.

    I loved his interview on the John Candy documentary on Amazon Prime. It also broke my heart. What he said about his dad….makes you realize why he walked away from Hollywood. I’m sure it was not an easy decision cause I can only imagine the pressure his dad put him under.

    And on a side note, the kind words that Macaulay said about working with John, makes me proud to be a Canadian. ❤️ 🇨🇦

    Then maybe you should get off social media for a bit if something like this is bothering you. The world isn’t tailored to your likes and dislikes, but you sure can filter those media feeds if need be.

    And bitching about it is making him go away? Your attention to him is just that, more attention. Ignoring is also an option

    He was the biggest child star in history based on overall fame, total talk shows pre 13, total movies, total gross, literally everything.

    He was THE biggest actor in the 90s and everyone wanted him.

    He was at one point doing around 2-3 movies a year.

    He then rose to further fame due to the sad story that during the entire time of filming his father was abusive.

    Eventually he was then physically attacked and his mother got custody.

    Then he said fuck this and left Hollywood to find himself and heal. And then loss his sister in a freak accident.

    He hasn’t spoken to his father in over 20 years I think and has had such a journey and discovering what he wants and who he is, as his childhood was just nothing but working.

    He was literally working from 5 or so onwards I think. His father made him not only learn the lines and scripts of his own but the entire casts. Even on SNL he has to learn every single joke by everyone else. Locked in a room for days studying lines and also sleeping on the floor etc.

    After his vanishing for decades his return has been extremely heart felt and warming. He is the only actor that’s truly down to earth to a T and hates the fame and glory.

    He never spews political advice, never tells anyone how to live, avoids the spot lite, and gives to a lot of people and he’s just overall a genuinely heart felt beautiful person.

    He even declined to star in the Big Bang Theory a total of 3 times, but then agreed to star in episodes of Angry Video Game Nerd YouTube episodes. He’s just a fucking cool guy.

    Now, you can continue being hip and cool and going against the “sheep” in loving the dude, that’s fine, but speaks to whatever issues you have dude.
