While he has been quoted in an interview early this year that he is essentially retired from acting, former child star Macaulay Culkin still takes on various occasional acting gigs, most notably the very recent Compare the Meerkat TV advertisement, an unorthodox remake of the Arabian Nights’ tale “Aladdin” by Adam Green, and a web series featuring the life of a cab driver.
In between his short acting gigs or cameo appearances, Culkin disclosed that he is now spending his free time as a roadie.
He said that he is a big fan of jumping on people’s tour buses and make himself useful doing load-ins and outs after he decided to step back from acting.
Culkin also said that inasmuch as he wanted to avoid the limelight while living in New York City, he has been taking a walks at between two to four in the morning just to avoid the paparazzi.
He also shuttles to and from New York to Paris in France where he normally experiences less intrusion into his privacy.
The “Home Alone” actor explained that home is where his boots are. He said he does everything except the merch table. But he did try at one point, where they did not sell anything at all.
Up until this year, Macaulay Culkin also performed with his parody rock group called as the Pizza Underground, which parodies the songs of The Velvet Underground rock group by changing the lyrics to include pizza all the way.
