Macaulay Culkin has retired from acting when he was 14 years old. Despite of his initial success with the “Home Alone” movie series that began in 1990, those were still not enough to keep the young actor then satisfied being an terpsichorean.
It turns out later on after some time that Macaulay Culkin wanted to be a rock star instead of being an actor that is why he formed the comedy rock group called The Pizza Underground which has been rendering parody songs from the popular rock group The Velvet Underground.
Macaulay has found his niche in singing and his appearance over the past couple of years would really seem to indicate that he is a rock star or simply put, a member of a rock group.
A few months ago, the 34-year-old former child actor was spotted strolling through the streets of New York sporting a man bun with a red streak. It is not every day that people in the Big Apple see a hairstyle like that so the presumption is always there to say that Macaulay may be a rock star.
Last year’s visit
Sometime last month, people of Reading in England recalled the visit of former child star Macaulay Culkin when he and his comedy rock group The Pizza Underground for a performance at the Oakford Social Club along Blagrave Street exactly one year ago.
The Pizza Underground uses pizza boxes as their percussion instruments while people dressed as cats were among the features of the performance of Macaulay Culkin and his rock group that night as part of their UK tour last year.
The New York-based comedy rock band largely parody songs by The Velvet Underground with pizza-themed song names and lyrics, reports Get Reading of the UK.
Macaulay Culkin plays the kazoo and sings in the acoustic band. While the group was warmly received in Reading that night, the reception in other places in the UK were not as welcome. In fact, in Nottingham, they were booed by fans while on stage so the group was forced to end their performance and cut short their UK tour.
Silver anniversary
Speaking of trip down memory lane, it has been 25 years since Macaulay Culkin had that breakout role in “Home Alone” as a child actor. But to those who have witnessed his foray into the big screen and rather short-lived stint in Hollywood, it appears to be only just a few short years back.
2015 actually marks the 25th anniversary of Macaulay Culkin’s defining Hollywood moment through “Home Alone” as the 34-year-old was spotted sometime in March smoking and strolling all by his lonesome in New York City.
Sporting then his best grandpa suit to go with his facial hair, combat boots, and ponytail, it only showed that a lot has changed for Macaulay since “Home Alone” was released to worldwide theaters in 1990.
The “Home Alone” sequel titled “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” followed suit two years later. Both films made money on the tills that catapulted Macaulay Culkin to child superstardom at that time.
