It\u2019s been almost 30 years since Home Alone hit cinemas and it changed the lives of most of the cast.<\/p>\n
However, many of the actors in the\u00a0family Christmas\u00a0movie went on to endure years of torment long after the film dropped out of cinemas.<\/p>\n
The most famous victim of the curse was the movie\u2019s star, Macaulay Culkin, who was propelled to superstardom for his role as child hero Kevin McCallister.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nHe went on to carve out a spectacular career as the most high-profile child star in the world, making millions from films such as Home Alone 2 and Richie Rich.<\/p>\n
However, the fame bubble burst for Culkin, now 39, when he was a teenager.<\/p>\n
He stepped away from Hollywood, and became embroiled in a high-profile legal battle with his parents, effectively divorcing them and stopping them from controlling his fortune.<\/p>\n
In 2004, he landed in trouble with the law when he was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.<\/p>\n

Culkin pleaded guilty and landed a one-year suspended sentence.<\/p>\n
In later interviews, Culkin denied he was ever addicted to hard drugs, telling the Guardian in 2016: \u201cNo, I was not pounding six grand of heroin every month or whatever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that bugged me was tabloids wrapping it all in this weird guise of concern. No, you\u2019re trying to shift papers.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n
