Macaulay Culkin’s Son Dreams of Marrying a Girl as Pretty as Brenda Song’s London Tipton Character

Macaulay Culkin’s eldest son with Brenda Song has expressed a wish to marry someone as beautiful as Song’s character London Tipton on the Disney Channel show. This revelation came during the season 27 finale of Hot Ones, where Culkin shared a lighthearted moment involving their children and the family’s connection to television.

Culkin explained that he often plays The Suite Life of Zack and Cody for their sons, Dakota, 4, and Carson, 2, especially when Brenda is not around. His eldest son, Dakota, finds inspiration in his mother’s role as London Tipton, a character known for her glamorous and quirky personality resembling a young Paris Hilton.

Fame Through a Father’s Lens

Though Culkin and Song are public figures, their children remain largely unaware of their parents’ fame. Culkin remarked,

“My kids have no idea that me and Brenda are famous,”

and described how Dakota’s innocent comment,

“Someday I want to grow up and marry a girl just as pretty as London Tipton,”

struck him as both endearing and amusing.

Culkin also highlighted their approach to fame within the family, mentioning that their sons are not impressed by their presence on television. He said,

“Other than that, though, the two are thoroughly unimpressed that we’re on TV,”

and added,

“I don’t want them to get mired by all that kind of stuff. I’m not intending to raise a nepo baby.”

Reflecting on his own experience, Culkin noted how his perspective on celebrity has evolved now that he is a father. He shared,

“I’ve been famous like virtually my entire life,”

and explained how at his children’s school, he experiences a different kind of recognition:

“I take my kids to school. And the other kids go, ‘That’s Dak and Carson’s dad.’ I’m dad famous there. And I wanna keep that up, even if it’s just temporary. I’ve never felt more famous — like, more complete famous, than that.”

Legacy of Childhood Stardom Passing to a New Generation

Both Culkin and Song became well-known as child stars in Hollywood, with Culkin famously portraying Kevin McCallister in the Home Alone films. Their son Dakota closely resembles a young Culkin, a likeness the child seems to enjoy. Culkin revealed that Dakota has watched the original Home Alone and fully embraces the story as if he were the character himself.

Culkin recounted,

“I’m like, ‘Do you remember going down the stairs on the sled?’ He’s like, ‘Mmhmm, yep. Sure do,’”

and continued,

“I’m like, ‘Do you remember when he had yellow hair?’ And he’s like, ‘Uh huh, yep.’

Dakota even believes that he personally confronted the burglars, portrayed by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, in the film.

Celebrity Family Life and What Lies Ahead

As Culkin and Song navigate life as public figures and parents, they seem committed to balancing their children’s upbringing with privacy and normalcy. The blend of their Hollywood past and current family dynamics offers insight into how fame can be experienced differently across generations. Dakota’s admiration for London Tipton ties a nostalgic element to Brenda Song’s career while also highlighting a child’s simple yet meaningful way of connecting with parental influences.

With both parents deeply rooted in show business, it remains to be seen how their children will shape their own paths, but the family’s approach suggests a focus on grounding their kids amid the spotlight. Culkin’s reflections and anecdotes provide a thoughtful glimpse into celebrity parenthood and the lasting footprints of their childhood legacies.
