Actress Brenda Song says she had to teach her fiancé Macaulay Culkin - star of 'Home Alone' - life skills because he grew up in a very different environment.
On The Jennifer Hudson Show on March 13, Brenda Song revealed special things about her famous spouse. She said: "I always said Macaulay was a very unique person, the most famous child actor in the world. He grew up in a hotel and never really had to do laundry. I was shocked to learn that. I did laundry when I was a kid, about 10 years old, to help my mother."
The 36-year-old Asian American actress said that she not only taught Macaulay Culkin to do housework but also taught him how to drive. "I took him to the neighborhood to learn to drive and I was very scared. A 44-year-old man driving for the first time. I had to hire someone to do it."
Macaulay Culkin became a world-famous child star in the 1990s after the hit Christmas movie Home Alone. His talent and fame helped Macaulay become a millionaire before he even turned a teenager. At the age of 12, Macaulay earned about $15 million, an amount that could have helped the actor live comfortably for the rest of his life. By the late 2000s, his acting career was no longer as good as before and Macaulay left Hollywood for many years to pursue his passion for singing and painting. Currently, according to Celebrity Net Worth, the 44-year-old actor still owns a fortune of about $18 million. Macaulay met Brenda Song in 2017 on the set of Change land and has been dating ever since. Brenda was born in California, USA, to H'mong and Thai parents in Thailand. She has also acted since she was a child, but mainly in Disney television series, most notably in the series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
The couple got engaged in 2022 and have two sons, Dakota, three, and Carson, two. Brenda Song said that her children now have a normal childhood like their peers, unlike their parents when they were young. The actress respects her children's privacy and has no intention of letting them act. However, Brenda said she would happily support them if they grew up and choose to pursue acting.
Brenda Song and her eldest son came to support Macaulay Culkin when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023.
