Best known for his role in Home Alone, Macaulay Culkin was one of the most popular child stars. After being co-stars in the music video for Jackson’s hit Black and White, Culkin and the singer became close friends. With such a big difference in age, concerns were raised about the relationship. Accusations have come out regarding the late Michael Jackson‘s relationship with young boys, but Culkin has long claimed nothing inappropriate happened to him. He opened up about his experience with Jackson in a rare interview with Esquire where he continued to defend the King of Pop. An HBO documentary called Leaving Neverland was released surrounding these accusations, but Culkin was not involved. The Home Alone star and Jackson were such good friends that he was named the godfather of his daughter Paris.

Paris Jackson is Michael’s second child and his only daughter. Growing up in Los Angeles with such a famous father couldn’t have been easy. Now, she has become a celeb in her own right, landing acting and modeling gigs. While her father passed away when she was young, she was able to maintain a lasting relationship with her godfather Macaulay Culkin.
The pair are so close that they actually got tattoos together! Culkin shared that he got his goddaughter doing one of his strangest habits, taking spoons from restaurants.
