Kieran Culkin reflects on his brother, Macaulay Culkin's, early rise to global fame: 'He was little and having to try to accept that level of fame as reality.'
The Late Late Show With James Corden, he had no idea the movie was centered around his big brother.
"I didn't even know what the movie was about when we were doing it, so it was a fresh, brand-new movie when I saw it," he explained. Not only did he not know the plot of the film, Kieran didn't even realize that his older brother was the star. "There's a part in the movie where there's a kid who gets his head counted incorrectly and he goes, 'Bye, bring me back something French!' I thought the movie was about that kid," Kieran quipped."And it made sense when I saw it.
"It was pretty nuts. And I think what people sometimes fail to remember, too, is that he was a kid. He didn't really choose that. It's something that happened to him," Kieran said at the time."And I think when you're a kid, you obviously don't have the tools to handle something like that. So I think it might have been pretty tough."
"For me, I got to sort of experience it secondhand as a child. So to me, I always have known this is not something one would want to pursue," he continued."It's not a very nice thing, fame. No anonymity, it's terrible. I have friends that are very famous. They can't walk down the street without several people stopping them. Forget trying to board a plane. It's ridiculous.
