Macaulay Culkin Shows Up as a Toilet for Halloween 

Macaulay Culkin has nothing left to prove, and he is clearly fine with that. The Home Alone actor joined fiancée Brenda Song and their son for Halloween in Los Angeles, but it wasn’t your standard celebrity family outing. Song went as Robin, their little boy as Batman, and Culkin? He showed up as a toilet. Yes, a full porcelain-style toilet with a tank, lid, white face paint, and a plunger strapped proudly to his head. Even his candy bag matched the theme, shaped like the poop emoji.

It shouldn’t have worked, but it did. Somehow, the absurdity fit him perfectly: equal parts dad humor and quiet confidence. Culkin wasn’t just in costume; he was clearly having fun.

Later that night, he shared a photo on Instagram with the caption, “POO!!! If your kids want you to be a toilet, be THE BEST dang toilet you can be.” It was a simple message, but it said a lot.  This was a dad having fun with his kid, and that sincerity came through.

Photos of the family quickly made the rounds online, drawing plenty of jokes and admiration. “Only Macaulay could make a toilet look cool,” one fan wrote. Another added, “He’s officially flushed his ego away.”

The humor aside, the costume reflected where Culkin is in life: comfortable, self-assured, and willing to be ridiculous for the right reasons. For someone who grew up under intense public scrutiny, that kind of ease doesn’t come easily. He’s no longer the kid everyone remembers. He’s the adult who’s figured out how to live on his own terms.

In recent years, Culkin and Song have kept their lives low-key, focusing on their two young sons. Every now and then, though, he reminds the world he’s still got a sense of timing that few can match.

While others chased glam and spectacle this Halloween, Culkin went the other way. A toilet costume that managed to feel more real, more human, and yes, funnier than anything else on social media that night.

Call it growth or just good humor. Either way, he’s clearly doing life his own way.
