Kieran Culkin, Hollywood star, hates being away from his kids for more than two days.

Hollywood Star Kieran Culkin Prioritizes Fatherhood Over Long-Term Projects

Kieran Culkin, the 40-year-old actor and star of the hit TV series “Succession,” recently opened up about his struggles with being away from his family for extended periods of time. In an interview with filmmaker Taika Waititi for Interview, Culkin revealed that he hates missing more than two days away from his kids because “they change” so much in that amount of time.

As a father to a 1 1⁄2-year-old and a 3 1⁄2-year-old with his wife Jazz Charton, Culkin explained that he now hesitates when offered long-term projects away from home. “I don’t like being away from them for more than two days at a time, and it’s not practical for me to have them there the whole time,” he said.

Despite the challenges, Culkin remains committed to being an attentive and present father. “I’d rather be the at-home dad that’s very attentive than the one that’s always working,” he said.

Seeking a Work-Life Balance

Culkin’s dedication to fatherhood has led him to question his profession and the demands it places on his time. “I’ve started to second-guess what it is I do for a living,” he told People magazine. “It’s the first time I’ve started to go, ‘Maybe I’ve chosen the wrong thing.'”

Despite his doubts, Culkin remains committed to finding a work-life balance that allows him to be there for his family. “I’m still always seeking advice, because of how hard it is for me to be away from my kids,” he said.

A Hollywood Upbringing

Culkin’s dedication to fatherhood is perhaps not surprising given his own upbringing in the world of entertainment. As the brother of Hollywood actor Macaulay Culkin, Kieran briefly starred in the Christmas classic movie “Home Alone” in 1990 as the kid who got left at home, cousin Fuller McAllister.

Conclusion

For Kieran Culkin, being a father is his top priority. While he continues to pursue his acting career, he remains committed to finding a work-life balance that allows him to be there for his family. As he navigates the challenges of fatherhood and Hollywood, Culkin serves as a reminder that success is not just about career achievements, but also about the relationships we build and the people we love.
