Do you remember that adorable little boy from Home Alone? Well guess what, he turned 32 at the weekend!
Macaulay Culkin, who was recently in the headlines for alleged heroin addiction, hasn’t starred in a film for a few years but he was once a huge child star.
To celebrate his career and his birthday, here are his five best films…
5. The Pagemaster
The Pagemaster is great fun if you're a big kid at heart. Macaulay plays a boy who is transported into an animated world full of obstacles and has to find his way back to reality.
4. Saved!
In this, one of his more recent roles, he plays a friend of a school girl who falls pregnant. Mandy Moore co-stars.
3. Richie Rich
During what was arguably the prime of his career Macaulay plays a wealthy boy whose parents go missing in this fun-filled action film.
2. My Girl
It’s hard to hold back the tears at the mere mention of this classic. If you haven’t seen it already, buy it and just remember to have the tissues at the ready.
1. Home Alone
This was the movie that made Macaulay a star. Having been left home alone at Christmas, he has to defend his house and himself from burglars. Home Alone 2 is equally brilliant.
