What would happen if a notoriously odd celebrity decided to create a lifestyle brand that’s one part satire, one part new age guru and entirely surreal?
Why, you’d get Bunny Ears, a website and podcast started by former child star Macaulay Culkin and a variety of pals. Long removed from Hollywood, he’s spent recent years hiding from the Paparazzi, making horrifically-bad music with his cover band Pizza Underground, photographed his time with Goddaughter Paris Jackson, and fought off persistent rumors that he’s severely addicted to drugs.
As a long-time Mac fan—ever since I went to see Home Alone in the theatre for my 9th birthday—I’m glad to see he’s pursuing his art, unconventional as it may be. While the majority of the articles on Bunny Ears are written by others, he seems to be the overseer of the brand which revolves around “diet, exploration, proclivities, and upscale culture.”
I’m not sure upscale is the right word, based on this “interview” between Mac and the swarm of bees from My Girl.
For anyone around my age (over 35) who grew up watching him on-screen and has many childhood memories of those good films, Bunny Ears will provide a few glimpses of his current life and many, many laughs. Seriously, if you can get through 10 or more articles, it will be the most bizarre rabbit hole you’ve ever fallen down. You may also, however, feel pretty sad that the adorable kid grew up to be a total weirdo. Of course, if Michael Jackson is your self-proclaimed best friend, that’s not really a shocker…
Another child sex abuse victim like Cory Feldman. Tragic. No wonder he’s on drugs.
He denies both the abuse and the drugs. I have my doubts and think you are right. He is just not normal.
Looks whacked out of his mind and in need of a rehab ASAP. This isnt’ funny, it’s exploitation.
The site isn’t exploiting him; he created it. Unless you mean banking on his celebrity? I think he’s entitled to use his fame to make a living.
I met his father way back when I was working in Hollywood. The man was a creep and I heard many stories about how terribly he treated Macaulay. I feel so much sympathy for that young man.
Ooooooo, please share more about your experience! Were you an actress? Everything I’ve read about the Culkin family is 100% bad news about the dad.
