He went back to acting again
Macaulay Culkin came back to acting in 2021 for the 10th season of “American Horror Story.” He had been retired before and back again. He quickly became a fan favorite with his character Mickey. Broadcasting giant E! News quoted Leslie Grossman as saying, “It was an absolute joy to work with Macaulay” and that she admired his “vulnerability” as an actor. Culkin’s time on “AHS” showed once more that he has a lot to offer as an actor, and his fans are still thrilled to see him on TV.
Rumors of substance abuse circulated
After Macaulay Culkin was arrested for drug charges, reports of drug use started to appear in the tabloids. Even though Culkin passed a required drug and alcohol test that showed she didn’t have a drug problem, news outlets went with the juicy story and told the usual story of a child actor who went bad. There were pictures going around of Culkin that made him look very skinny, and some stories even said he was hooked on heroin and prescription drugs, which his reps strongly denied. During his chat with Esquire, Culkin talked about the rumors. He said, “I never went so far down that road where I needed outside help.” To be clear, he also said, “I don’t do drugs for fun.”
