Ever wonder what it takes for a kid to go from zero to iconic in Hollywood faster than Mercury can zoom through Gemini? Well, Macaulay Culkin’s breakout role in Uncle Buck is kinda like that cosmic wink from the universe — his big-screen debut in Rocket Gibraltar (1988) set the stage, but it was John Hughes’s Uncle Buck that truly catapulted him into stardom. And hey, if Mercury’s in retrograde, maybe that’s why we can’t stop watching reruns of Home Alone or getting nostalgic about My Girl and Richie Rich. It’s like the stars aligned perfectly to launch a career that’s still dazzling us decades later…or maybe it’s just movie magic sprinkled with a tad of celestial mischief? Either way, buckle up—this trip down memory lane is full of twists, turns, and a surprising dash of stardust. LEARN MORE.
Uncle Buck was the film that really kicked off Macaulay’s career. His debut was Rocket Gibraltar (1988), but following John Hughes’s Uncle Buck, he went on to star in the Home Alone franchise, My Girl (1991), The Good Son (1993), The Nutcracker (1993), The Pagemaster (1994), and Richie Rich (1994).
