Macaulay Culkin has revealed a long-kept secret about his name. During a public Q&A session in November 2022, the actor confirmed he legally changed it years earlier. The new boy name, chosen partly through a social media poll, is now officially Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. The name change took place in 2016, though Culkin only shared the news six years later. He disclosed the update on 22 November 2022 at A Nostalgic Night With Macaulay Culkin, an event where fans asked him questions. The revelation came as a surprise to many fans, given the delay in announcement. Culkin’s name change reflects his known sense of humour, blending personal branding with a touch of absurdity. The legal documents confirm the actor now goes by Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin.
