Macaulay Culkin Siblings: Where Are They Now?
It’s hard to believe Macaulay Culkin has been in the spotlight for over 35 years. The actor and musician got his start as a four-year-old doing commercials before going on to star in some of the biggest flicks of the 80s. While his career has had many ups and downs, he is currently experiencing somewhat of a renaissance. But it’s not just Macaulay who made it as a star. A number of the Culkin siblings have had success in the movie industry.
It might surprise you to know there are seven siblings in the Culkin family. The Macaulay Culin siblings consist of Shane, Dakota, Kieran, Quinn, Christian, and Rory. While not all Hollywood stars, many of the Culkin family have entered the entertainment business.
Born to parents Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup, the siblings grew up in New York. They lived in a small one-bedroom apartment and struggled financially. Kit was a Catholic Church sacristan and Patricia worked as a telephone operator. For good or bad, Kit forced his older children to act, most likely hoping one of them would make it big and provide a better lifestyle for the family.
While not all the kids pursued acting, those that did have had careers of varying success. Here is a look at the Macaulay Calkun siblings (including Macaulay himself) and where they are today.

We start off with the most famous of the Culkin siblings, Macaulay. Appearing in several TV series and commercials during the 80s, Macaulay’s debut film role was in the 1988 drama Rocket Gibraltar. This led to the child actor featuring in the romantic comedy See You in the Morning and John Candy classic Uncle Buck. But it was the 1990 smash Home Alone that propelled Macaulay into rarified air. His portrayal of was one for the ages. He went on to feature in eight films from 1990-1994 and became one of the biggest stars in the world. It was rumored he was paid $1 million for My Girl, which was unheard of at that time. If that’s not eye-opening enough, Macaulay also made $4.5 million for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
