Macaulay Culkin’s voice leaves fans in utter shock
Macaulay Culkin shocked some “Home Alone” fans after he spoke during a rare public appearance Friday.
Culkin, who has stayed relatively out of the spotlight, was honored at his own Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony more than 30 years after he played Kevin McCallister in 1990’s “Home Alone.”
In a heartfelt speech, the “My Girl” actor thanked several people including his publicist, lawyer and his fiancee, Brenda Song, 35, who Culkin, 43, called his “everything.”
“You’re my champion, you’re … you’re the only person happier for me today than I am,” the actor said. “You’re not only the best woman I have ever known, you’re the best person I have ever known.
“You’ve given me all my purpose,” Culkin continued, as the former “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” actress teared up. “You’ve given me family.”

Many fans of Culkin were left aghast after hearing him speak for the first time since portraying a young Kevin McCallister in the 1990 film.
He joked that after the birth of his sons, Dakota and Carson, Song was “one of my three favorite people.”
“You’re somewhere in there. But um, I love you. I love you so much,” concluded the actor.
“So yeah, so to wrap things up in the spirit of the holiday season. I just want to say Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.”
Although the speech was sweet, some fans were more into hearing Culkin’s voice for the first time in years.
