    Macaulay Culkin thinks his father deserves to "die alone"

    The 45-year-old actor has been open about the difficult relationship he had with his dad Kit Culkin, who was also his manager early in his career, and he has reflected on the distance his puts between his father and his own children.


    He told Deadline: "He had seven beautiful kids and now he's got five beautiful grandkids. None of them want anything to do with him. Nothing. As far as I know.

    "Listen, if my siblings want to have their relationship with him, they can. Whatever. I have these beautiful kids at home, and I don't want his sins being washed on my kids.

    "That's not the way that I do business, and that's why he needed to go over... there.

    "And he's going to sit there and he's going to probably die alone and I'm going to go like, yeah, that's what you deserve."

    The Home Alone star - who has sons Dakota, four, and two-year-old Carson with fiancee Brenda Song - insisted he has no desire to "say his piece" to his dad, who he hasn't spoken to for around three decades.

    He added: "He knows the things that he did. Or maybe he doesn't, because the trick with him is that when he did something...

    "I remember, it must have been over 30 years ago, he did something. He yelled at me, or something like that, in front of my friend

    " I didn't like that, but whatever, I got to suck it up. That kind of thing. I took my lumps. I took my lumps."

    Macaulay recalled how his dad later asked why his son was "being so cold", and when he explained, Kit denied the incident.

    He said: "And you know what it was? It wasn't denial. He actually did the mental gymnastics, to get rid of that, like things never happened.

    "This is who I'm dealing with. I can bring him into a therapist and we can talk about it for the next 50 years, but there are certain things he's just going to wash away.

    "This is who I'm talking to. This is who I'm dealing with. No, you go live in the over-there. I live in the over-here. And you get to live in the over-there."
