Known for his role in Home Alone, passed away in the early hours today from a drug overdose, marking a tragic end to his once-promising career.
Brenda Song has recalled the first time she rewatched Home Alone with her fiancé Macaulay Culkin.
Culkin, who shot to fame for his portrayal of Kevin McAlister in the 1990 holiday classic and its 1992 sequel, and Song, 36, have been dating since 2017.
During a recent appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show, Song recounted their first Christmas spent together.
“When we started dating almost eight years ago now, Christmastime came around — and it’s a tradition, I’ve always watched Home Alone every Christmas,” the Suite Life of Zach & Cody alum said.
“He hadn’t seen the movie in almost a decade — he didn’t want to watch it — and I forced it. I was like, ‘We have to.’”
She remembered that once the movie began, Culkin “started telling me all the behind-the-scenes stories. And I was like, ‘Stop. Stop. You’re ruining it for me.’”
The movie holds such a special place in obviously so many people’s hearts. It’s just hard for me, that’s all,” she explained.
Song also grew up in the business, landing her breakout role in the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody when she was only 16.
