‘Home Alone’ actor decided to currently go by ‘Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin’
After promoting a vote among his fans, he decided to legally change his middle name — and currently goes by “Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin”. The subject came to the fore again this weekend, during an event that celebrated the 35th anniversary of “Home Alone”.
At the meeting, the actor commented that the change was made official in 2019, when he left behind his old middle name, Carson. “I was looking at my passport and thought I could make the name more interesting”, he joked at the time.
According to People magazine, Culkin also recalled the poll process, which saw great public participation and ended up becoming a fun game between him and his followers.
The vote, which took place in December 2018, presented five alternatives. Among them were “Shark Week”, “TheMcRibIsBack”, “Publicity Stunt” and “Kieran” — a tribute to the actor’s younger brother, known for his role in Succession. In the end, the option chosen by fans was precisely “Macaulay Culkin”.
