Macaulay Culkin Says He Had 'Unfinished Business' With Catherine O'Hara

The Gentleman's Journal interview casts his grief as a debt he never repaid.

Overview

  • Culkin, in a Gentleman's Journal interview published Tuesday, said O'Hara's January death felt too soon and left him feeling he owed her a favor.
  • Officials later listed a pulmonary embolism as O'Hara's cause of death on January 30 at age 71, with rectal cancer noted as an underlying condition.
  • After she died, Culkin posted an emotional tribute on Instagram that read, in part, “Mama. I thought we had time… I love you. I’ll see you later.”
  • He also reflected that several former co-stars have died and said he expects to be “one of the last people standing” from that Home Alone era.
  • The pair’s bond was long-standing, highlighted by O’Hara’s praise at Culkin’s 2023 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, and tributes to her continue across the industry.
