'Leaving Neverland' director Dan Reed said he thought about trying to interview Macaulay Culkin but explains why he didn't.
"Leaving Neverland" director Dan Reed talked to Business Insider about the decision to not attempt to interview Macaulay Culkin about his friendship with Michael Jackson as a boy in the 1990s.
Robson says in the movie that he first became familiar with Culkin while on the set of the music video for Jackson's 1991 song,"Black or White." The epic music video features Culkin as a rambunctious kid playing his music too loud to the disgust of his father . Culkin later shows up in the video with Jackson lip-syncing rap lyrics.
"Macaulay was where I was in my previous trips, right by Michael's side every moment," Robson said in"Leaving Neverland.""Now I was kind of on the sideline as far as being Michael's friend and being his favorite and that was really confusing." Macaulay Culkin with Michael Jackson at the 30th anniversary concert celebrating Jackson's solo career in 2001.Safechuck, who says Jackson began to sexually abuse him after they starred in a Pepsi commercial together, noticed Jackson hanging out with Barnes around the same time. Safechuck says in the doc that Jackson told him he couldn't go on tour for the album"Dangerous" because Jackson wasn't allowed to bring kids.
