The relationship between Macaulay Carson Culkin and Michael Jackson is one of the most talked-about and speculated upon pop star/child star friendships in modern history. The two became pals in the early 90s, Culkin was 10 and Jackson was 22 years his senior. The King of Pop and Home Alone stars age difference sparked rumors, controversy, documentaries and more – all still being discussed in 2019. The Holiday Season isn’t complete without Home Alone and its star Macaulay so we’re putting myths and rumors to bed as Macaulay Culkin talks about his friendship with MJ.
Their relationship seemed odd because Macaulay Culkin would often visit MJ’s very famous home, The Neverland Ranch, and there is little to no information about what went on there. However, Culkin, who is now 39 years old, has confirmed that it was not the relationship everyone thinks it is…
Culkin Opens Up About His Friendship With Michael Jackson
In January of 2019 Culkin spoke with People Magazine. “We were friends. It’s one of my friendships that people question only because of the fact that he was the most famous person in the world… I was a peerless person, nobody at my Catholic school even had this much idea of what I was going through and he was the person who had been through the exact same thing and wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone.”

He went on to add, “He(MJ) was f*****g awesome. He was funny, he was sweet – people didn’t know how funny he was. He liked prank calling people, because obviously, he was good with his voice. He was hilarious, he was charming and silly.”
“He was the kind of person who’d been through the exact same frickin’ thing and wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone,” Culkin added, in reference to the fact that they were both child stars, and MJ’s childhood wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. He wanted to be there for Culkin should his upbringing be plagued by the negatives that child stardom brings.
Rumors, Lawsuits And A Friendship
As stated previously, it did not help MJ’s case that he faced sexual abuse allegations from a boy around Culkin’s age. He was never charged for any allegations.
With this being said, there’s even further proof that their relationship was just a typical friendship. MJ had made Culkin the godfather of his three children, including Paris. He has a matching tattoo with her as well. The two have a very tight-knit relationship.
“I am close with Paris,” Culkin stated, “I’m going to warn you now, I am very protective of her, so just look out. I am a very open book when it comes to things, but like with her, she is beloved by me,” he said on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.

Its nice to hear someone who isnt slagging him off, he was never charged with anything and as for people saying his victims were bought off, what rubbish, would parents of these kids be bought off if there kids had really been molested, I know I wouldn’t of been, just people conning him out of money
M.J was a great guy .
R.I.P M Jackson , You were still a kid yourself I do not believe what they accused u of .You had a big heart .I didnt know you but I loved your music ,I grew up watching The Jackson five Forever.
Love you forever , I am sorry for what they put u through . R.I.P
He had issues , predators often are charming ,…he was tremendously talent , but’s mentally ill and drug addicted , in my opinion
I dont believe he did anything to any child. Why can’t they let him R.I.P. and his family the kids have gone threw enough. I love u M.J.
As usual, not everyone is happy when you are successful as Michael Jackson. They would say and do the same things they did and said about Michael if it were you. Again, gender confusion has Americans behave like schizophrenics. It’s like men can no longer be friends like it used to be without someone thinking you are ought to fuck each other. EEw, Gross. How I wish someone would put alphabet terrorists to their place. See what they have done to everyone’s imaginations !!!!!!!!
If he didn’t have a nessed up childhood, that laying in bed with kids thing would shout “pedophilia”. That crotch grabbing if himself was unnecessary, though. I don’t think he did that during his Thriller album videos. Excuse the typos. Either my phone or the site is not letting me correct them. Anyway, in Lincoln!s day, guys would lay in the same bed, but not to do homosexual things and guys might walk down the street in East Asia holding hands. It’s the context. BTW, MJ hung out with Corey Feldman, too, and he still defends him, I believe.
One wonders how much Jackson’s estate pays Culkin to pedal these lies through the media on a regular basis. He needs the money so it’s an easy quid pro quo.
