Macaulay Culkin Talks About Michael Jackson in ‘Esquire’ Cover Story

In a new interview with Esquire, Macaulay Culkin opens up about his relationship with Michael Jackson.

“He never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flashpoint in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back,” he explains.

“The guy has passed on. If anything — I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that, but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything.”

Macaulay has been asked the Michael question numerous times, even by other Hollywood celebs.

When Macaulay recently ran into James Franco on a plane, he says, “It was right after the documentary [Leaving Neverland] came out, and he goes, ‘So, that documentary!’ … I was like, ‘Uh-huh.’ Silence. So then he goes, ‘So what do you think?’ And I turned to him and I go, ‘Do you wanna talk about your dead friend?’ And he sheepishly went, ‘No, I don’t.’ So I said, ‘Cool, man, it was nice to see you.’”

Wow. Well, Macaulay has always defended Michael so this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
