Macaulay Culkin to Front Doc Series on Being Middle-Aged

Macaulay Culkin is teaming up with Lightbox to explore what it means to be middle-aged in a brand-new doc series.

Macaulay Culkin’s Midlife Crisis will see the actor—best known as a child star from the Home Alone franchise—travel the world as he explores, and celebrates, what it means to be middle-aged and whether life really does begin at 40.

The series is a Lightbox production and will be executive produced by Lightbox Co-Founders Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn alongside Emmy-winning producer Emily Gerson Saines.

Culkin said: “Wow, Lightbox. Thanks for reminding me I’m in my 40s. Well, rather than make a big deal about it, I figure we should just make a show about it. Makes sense.”

The Chinns added: “Mack remains as iconic, and as loved as ever—a social media sensation, internet entrepreneur and hard-working member of his pizza-themed Velvet Underground tribute band. Despite his legendary status, like the rest of us, he’s having to confront what it means to be a normal middle-aged guy, with a wife and a new kid who’s soon going to be the same age he was when he became a massive global superstar. We are thrilled to be working through our midlife crises with him on this exciting project!”
