Actor Kieran Culkin is best known for his role as the chaotic, single, and childless Roman Roy in the hit HBO show “Succession.” And in his Oscar-nominated role in “A Real Pain,” he plays a chaotic, single, and childless Benji Kaplan. But in real life, the actor is a father and husband.
Culkin, who comes from a Hollywood powerhouse clan, shares two kids with his wife, Jazz Charton. While accepting an Emmy award in January 2024, he used his time onstage to plead with his wife for more kids. “You said maybe if I win,” he said, cheekily. He “Succession” co-star Matthew Macfadyen looked on in glee.
He also paid a sweet tribute to them on the red carpet for the 81st Golden Globes Awards.
“I saw some bracelets, tell me what those bracelets are?” asked Marc Malkin, senior entertainment writer at Variety.
“They’ve got my kids names on them, sort of their names,” answered Culkin.”Zisu and Buba … Hi guys, go to sleep!”
