AceShowbiz - Macaulay Culkin finally broke his silence on the rumors suggesting that he's a drug addict after he was pictured looking gaunt in 2012. "No, I was not pounding six grand of heroin every month or whatever," he said. "The thing that bugged me was tabloids wrapping it all in this weird guise of concern. No, you're trying to shift papers."
"I was thinking about this the other day," the former child actor said to The Guardian. "I'd crossed the wrong street, picked up a tail, suddenly there's a crush of 20 paparazzi. Then people with cameraphones get involved. I don't think I'm worthy of that." He added, "It's been like that my whole adult life. You take on a prey-like attitude, always scanning the horizon. It's strange on dates, as it looks like you're not paying attention."
Of his acting career, he said, "People feel they have to be in perpetual motion, or drown. I've never had a problem saying I've got nothing lined up. Maybe I'll take the next year off. I'm not much active. If I knew what I wanted to do, I'd be writing it myself." He continued, "Actually, I'm very much at peace lately. If you want to make an actor feel uncomfortable, ask them what they're doing next."
