Macaulay Culkin’s star has come in.

The 43-year-old actor, who first gained fame over 30 years ago as a child for his starring role as Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone films, is set to become the 2,765th recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The group announced Culkin’s honor in a press release, revealing that the ceremony would take place on Friday, with Natasha Lyonne and Culkin’s Home Alone mom Catherine O’Hara slated to speak.

Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, said in the release, “Macaulay Culkin has been a staple in pop culture for decades,” adding that “he has an extensive trajectory of work, but his movie Home Alone is one of the most beloved holiday movies known the world over.”

“How fitting that Catherine O’Hara who played Macaulay’s mother in the film is reuniting with her movie son and will be speaking at the ceremony!” Martinez added.

After making his big-screen debut in 1988’s Rocket Gibraltar, Culkin went on to appear in 1989’s See You in the Morning and Uncle Buck before achieving worldwide recognition for his lead role in 1990’s Home Alone and, two years later, its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Also among his childhood roles were as Thomas J. Sennett in My Girl (1991), Henry Evans in The Good Son (1993), Richard Tyler in The Pagemaster (1994) and the title character in Richie Rich (1994). He even hosted Saturday Night Live in 1991, at age 11.

After nearly a decade break from acting, Culkin returned with roles in films like Party Monster (2003) and Saved! (2004), and also appeared on various television shows.

While his screen work has been limited since his return to acting, Culkin had a memorable turn on American Horror Story, starring as Mickey in the anthology series’ Double Feature season in 2021.

According to his Instagram bio, Culkin is a supporter of organizations like Stand Up to Cancer and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

Aside from his professional accomplishments, Culkin is a father of two children with fiancée Brenda Song: son Dakota, 2½, and a second child, whose birth Culkin’s fellow-actor brother Kieran Culkin confirmed in March.

In a digital cover feature for Esquire earlier this year, Kieran — who played Fuller McCallister, a cousin of prankster protagonist Kevin, in the Home Alone films — recalled how uncomfortable the newfound fame was not only for his sibling but their entire family.

“Even at that time, as a kid, I remember thinking, That sucks for him,” said the Succession actor, 41, of the over-the-top attention received by his brother.

“Poor f—ing guy,” Kieran added in his conversation with Esquire. “He was little and having to try to accept that level of fame as reality.”

Despite the downsides of fame, the siblings have both continued their acting careers since, as has their younger brother Rory Culkin.

Culkin’s star ceremony will be live streamed Friday at 11:30 a.m. PT/2:30 p.m. ET, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame’s official website.
