This year marks the, gulp, 35th anniversary of Home Alone. If that doesn’t make you feel old enough, the star, Macaulay Culkin, is now 45. That makes him three years younger than Joe Pesci, who played Harry at age 48, and 12 years older than Daniel Stern, who played Marv at 33. Now that we’ve gotten all of that out of the way, let’s get to something a bit more lighthearted and fun.
During A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin in Long Beach, California, the star shared a funny story about his name and Jimmy Fallon.

He said options included “Macaulay Culkin,” “The McRib is Back,” and Kieran, after his brother. “Macaulay Kieran Culkin. That would be great. I love my brother.
Between me and him we have exactly one Oscar,” he said. In the end, fans liked his birth name. “The final vote was Macaulay Culkin,” he said. “So my name is Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.
If somebody comes up to me at the airport and says, ‘Excuse me, are you Macaulay Culkin?’ I can say, ‘Well, Macaulay Culkin is my middle name. ‘” Macaulay did it all for the fun of it. “I did it all for that one joke. And a bit on Fallon,” he said.
The star told E! News last December it takes a lot to grasp the magnitude of Home Alone. “I’m kind of embracing it and, at the same time, taking the piss out of it, too,” he shared. “It’s very rare when you have something that kind of encompasses an important day, and I’m a part of that.
It’s more fun to embrace it than to fight it.” This story’s featured image is by Rodin Eckenroth/WireImage. The post Macaulay Culkin Had Fans Give Him A Legal Middle Name & It’s Hilarious appeared first on InspireMore.
