Macaulay Culkin Plans to Tackle Turning 40 in Documentary MACAULAY CULKIN'S MIDLIFE CRISIS With Lightbox
Last year, one of the world’s favorite child actors, Macaulay Culkin, turned forty years old. While dealing with the milestone birthday, the actor took to social media to ask his peers how to deal with going over the hill. The conversation that ensued ended up giving way to the documentary project Macaulay Culkin’s Midlife Crisis, which he is working on with Lightbox.
In the doc, Culkin will “travel the world as he explores and celebrates what it means to be the big four-oh on an intrepid, international journey. Culkin will be asking the questions that anyone who is dealing with the process of aging, fatherhood and lifetime partnership needs to ask themselves in order to ensure that unbridled passion does not become a relic of our youth.”
Jonathan Chinn and Simon Chinn, co-founders of the multiple Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning team at Lightbox, gave a statement about Culkin and the project, saying:
“Mack remains as iconic, and as loved as ever — a social media sensation, internet entrepreneur and a hard-working member of his pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band. Despite his legendary status, like the rest of us, he’s having to confront what it means to be a normal middle-aged guy, with a wife and a new kid who’s soon going to be the same age he was when he became a massive global superstar. We are thrilled to be working through our mid-life crises with him on this exciting project!”
Culkin jokingly added:
“Wow, Lightbox. Thanks for reminding me I’m in my 40s. Well, rather than make a big deal about it I figure we should just make a show about it. Makes sense.”
Culkin is currently the publisher and CEO of the satirical pop culture site and podcast Bunny Ears. He has remained a well-liked celebrity, and it is smart of him to make a documentary like this, as many of his fans are in his age range and can relate to the issue of aging. I look forward to checking it out.
