Macaulay Culkin will be honoured with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

'Keep the change ye filthy animal'

Culkin, who first wowed viewers across the world for his roles in Home Alone One and Two, as well as Uncle Buck, Richie Rich, and My Girl, will be given the 2,765th star on the legendary walkway in Los Angeles.

Culkin, who is now 43, will receive the award on December 1 when the star will be presented unto the ground with speeches from Catherine O'Hara and Natasha Lyonne.

Ana Martinez, Producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a statement: "Macaulay Culkin has been a staple in pop culture for decades.

"He has an extensive trajectory of work but his movie, Home Alone is one of the most beloved holiday movies known the world over.

"How fitting that Catherine O’Hara who played Macaulay’s mother in the film is reuniting with her movie son and will be speaking at the ceremony!”

Culkin, who starred in 13 films as a child, took a break from acting when he was in his mid-teens.

He finally returned inn the mid 2000s with roles in Robot Chicken, WIll & Grace, and more.

Culkin's struggle with fame and substance abuse have been well documented over the last two decades.

Though for someone who has brought so much laughter and joy to the world, nobody is more deserving of a star on the Walk of Fame than Culkin himself.
