“I didn't bring it up for months, and then when I won the Globe, I said, ‘Do you remember what you said?’ And she was like, ‘What? No. What did I say? I don't remember this,’” he said.
“So I told her, and then it all came back to her. So then she spent the whole week being nervous," he added.
In 2023, Culkin opened up to Taika Waititi in an interview about how he balanced filming a project in Poland and his home life.
"I have a one-and-a-half--year-old and a three-and-a-half-year-old, and we’re going to be bouncing around Poland," he said.
"I don’t like being away from them for more than two days at a time, and it’s not practical for me to have them there the whole time," Culkin added.
