For the life of me, I cannot believe that it has taken until 2023 for Macaulay Culkin to get this recognition! He has deserved this for decades!

[@kevkamo6289]

you must not know lol

[@nutszongo]

Hes been off chops for years and years. That's why.

[@RachelXKnight666]

@@DCSHADY613would love to know what bs conspiracy theory you believe in 😂

[@jacklynnefaircabigunda6244]

❤❤❤

[@mrkitty777]

He recovered 🙋‍♂️🤷🙏😄

[@gregbo123]

He thanked his wife & spoke of her & their kids. Respect.

[@dahenriquez]

I always watch Home alone 1 & 2 during Christmas, it's a tradition. Thank you Macaulay and enjoy your well deserved star!

[@alphilly4039]

Big Tradition!

[@cirillamande8243]

The legendary home alone movie

[@kazamshah4543]

So sweet to see him with his onscreen mom from that classic movie😊😊😊😊😊

[@azraprinceza]

100% ❤

[@t0ny260]

A well deserved star! Culkin was one of the biggest child stars in the 90's and it's nice that his work all those years ago is finally being recognized.

[@cirillamande8243]

Jesus christ christmas, santa claus, home alone Macaulay culkin,

[@PollyHistor]

"Party Monster" was actually my personal favorite of his work. 🥳

[@FreshlyWILD]

So glad this dude is still alive.

[@AshLemonade]

This brought a tear to my eye. So worthy of this recognition. Home Alone is one of the gems of my childhood. Congrats, Macaulay! ⭐️

[@chany0789]

I don’t know why this made me cry but super well deserved and about time.

[@kpepperl319]

I'm glad he's doing much better and has his life together. It is true not many child actors end up alive. This is not a kind industry, and constantly chew people up and throw them away. It was tough to see him go through all that, but happy to see he's recognized and able to stand on his own 2 feet. Congratulations

[@uncooked_ham]

@@DCSHADY613 He is the director of a film called "Juniper on the Roof", so yes, he is in the industry.

[@ozgecko4050]

Doing much better? What do you mean?

[@aydolnunguna7612]

Home Alone will be forever remembered every coming Christmases.

[@Whenitstime10]

He was absolutely brilliant in Home Alone! Each cast member including Macaulay made this movie be the huge success that it is! My favorite movies! This movie is a classic and always will be! Congratulations Macaulay!! 😊🎉👏🏻

[@adml366]

he deserve this more than anybody else, i grew up with home alone and im proud of him ! congratulation Macaulay

[@AiVersify]

Macaulay has long deserved this recognition for his hard work as an actor. He’s dealt with never-ending fame since he was only 10 years old, he’s dealt with an abusive father who controlled most of his childhood, his reputation was crumbling when he was labled a “drug addict” 10 yeats ago. Despite all these occurnces including a heart-breaking divorce at just 22, Mac has fought with so much adversity and to see how much he has accomplished in just the last 5 years is remarkable. Congratulations on your achievements and your “Walk of Fame” plaque! You are an inspiration Macaulay!

[@Closedbyaisha]

That was very beautiful of Catherine O’Hara to be there for him😢. It shouldn’t have taken them this long to recognize him this way.

[@mcal3602]

Timing is everything, Maybe it wouldn’t have had such profound meaning to him in the past or he wouldn’t have been in the right mind frame. Being chosen now is no mistake, he was given this moment now for a reason

[@cookellycoo2827]

O'Hara....wait. oh I have to look up this gals history.

[@disneygal3566]

Love how he ended his speech ❤❤❤

[@user-kz7qm2dq9q]

The way he spoke to his wife 😭😭😭

[@BUSCALHOUN]

Congrats to him he made my Christmas times enjoyable watching home alone he’s forever embedded in us 80s babies heart.

[@Jayremy89]

He is likely the best child actor of this era. Home Alone, My Girl, Richie Rich, Pagemaster were all movies I remember and he's done more but his acting was always a high bar for a kid.

[@KoopaBOOEY]

I'm happy for Macaulay to finally get that star, and for his movie mom Catherine O'Hara to be there to support him in doing so. His wife Brenda is amazing too

[@retroguy9494]

So nice to see that the kid finally made it. He DID deserve it. He went through a LOT.

[@Dan.50]

Well deserved. My wife and I watch Home Alone 1&2 religiously every year. Love him like he's one of our own and wish him and his family all the best.

[@redneon06]

I didn’t know those two were together or had kids. You only usually see the bad that media shows. He’s a survivor!

[@adeho789]

So sweet, his speech is about how much he loves his wife... I hope they make it till forever!

[@prestonblackbear5178]

I did not expect his voice to be that light 😂but nonetheless congrats Kevin 🎉

[@dcdx8966]

He’s an absolute legend.

[@dkuhs]

Aww so wonderful and heartwarming to watch . What a beautiful family. Congratulations and so well deserved . Be happy Macaulay you have more than earned it ! ❤️❤️

That last line was golden !

[@lucass9328]

Congrats!! My family loves those movies! Cant wait to rewatch em this season. Christmas wouldnt be the same without you Macaulay, congratulations again!

[@Reb12941]

And why did it take this long? Brenda thank you for saving this legend

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

MC...Dude is dressed to the 10's RESPECT DUDE..! Cheers from Lido Isle, Newport Beach, CA. 🌊

[@NuncaJamaisEmTempoAlgum]

The ones who grew up with his movies can’t dissociate him from our most loving memories of the Holidays, our loved ones together, our struggles, the ones that are not here anymore… he was with us through all that.. so I cried with this, how couldn’t I. Ty MC ❤

[@iloveyoumadhuri]

Long overdue! Congrats Macauley!!!

I enjoyed home alone both 1& 2 and still wstching...bringing home christmas seasons

[@gregloboa783]

He does deserve that star on the walk of fame! I'm not a huge fan but I like Culkin a lot, he was the best child actor of his time and his legacy will live on 100 years from now in Home Alone and absolutely no one can take that from him!!

[@TheLowLevelGamer]

He's crying because he wishes his friend Rich Evans was there to cheer him on 😢

[@SkinCareLuver]

So...Nobody's going to mention the fact he is so dang handsome?

[@ChrisReed-t7l]

❤that's so f...... beautiful 😊 I'm so happy his life found a direction I'm crying here

[@nomad1517]

I'm glad I'm alive to see this happen. He is without a doubt one of the most important people in Hollywood. To me his story is a miracle. That guy went through some rough terrain. I'm happy he's found some balance.

[@brandofhero]

I’m just as happy as he is that he got what he deserved. Congratulations, Culkin!

[@margaretbuckley9309]

Well done macaulay its about tim you got this well deserved star on the hollywood walk of fame Christmas would not be the same without you ❤🍭👏👏🍭

[@Marcus_MG42]

I wish the whole team of the Home Alone cast could join. Sadly that's not the case. But, regardless, it's an eternal stream of emotions.

[@TheSakebomb1]

Every 90s kid is smiling. Well deserved.

[@Shawn-ul4xr]

Well deserved. When it’s that time of year we all love to watch his films

[@A97-h6v]

Not only Kevin, but he also played Richie Rich. Man was a top actor of his time. As a sidenote his brother was pretty great as Roman in succession too !

[@sarkahalastova9667]

Yes, Kieran matured into fantastic, vulnerable actor. Love them both!

[@mr.lukecage7405]

Richie Rich is so underrated. My favorite movie he did.

[@TheWriterNW]
