You're remarkably normal.

(laughs)

You know, people are always struck at, uh, how normal I am.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I'm like, it's just like, "Wow, really?" I think my, my reputation-
- JRJoe Rogan
Like, you made it through the maze-
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I guess so.
- JRJoe Rogan
... of being a famous child.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
That's a very unusual maze.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Uh, yeah, uh, my life is unique to me. That's what I like to say. You know, yeah, and, uh, I'm almost like a peerless person, like to a certain-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
... extent. There's not too many people I can look left and right, and we, you know, I, I ... And like, we have similar experiences, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah, is there anybody that you ever contacted, like Jodie Foster or someone who's made it through and seems pretty put together?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Not really. Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
No?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
No, not really. I mean, it's kind of a weird cold call, you know?
- JRJoe Rogan
Right.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Kind of just like, "Hey, Jodie Foster." (laughs)
- 15:00 – 30:00
(laughs) …
- MCMacaulay Culkin
a bunch of, uh, uh, Sean Lennons running around the house.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MCMacaulay Culkin
That's what I'm looking for. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, oh my goodness.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah, yeah. No, uh, 'cause it's funny, like, you know, like, uh, I, I'm, like, it's almost like I feel entitled to make, like, Asian jokes because I have an Asian girlfriend kinda thing. But, like-
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't think you're allowed.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I don't think I'm a... Well, I, I do it with her, like all the time.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
But, like, I don't do it in public.
- JRJoe Rogan
Don't let anybody know. (laughs)
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah. No, no. No, it's like, it's like, "Oh," it's like, "Oh, baby. You're my Yoko."
- JRJoe Rogan
Ooh.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Looking at her just like, you know, like, yeah. Wait, look, no, she's like, "You're, you're, you're gonna be my downfall."
- JRJoe Rogan
You're the most hated person in all of music.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah, yeah, exactly. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Yay. (laughs)
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Exactly. Looking at her, uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
You used to be able to if you were married to an Asian woman 10, 15 years ago.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
It'd be no problem.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I think if I, uh, I think if I have Asian babies, I'd be allowed to. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I don't even think so, man. I don't even think so.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Well, because, you know, I, I, I'd, I'd have to deal with it every kinda, like, day kinda thing.
- JRJoe Rogan
Mm-hmm.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
And it's like, "Oh, well, like, I can, you know, I understand the struggle kinda thing." Like, you know, I'm trying to shield my kids looking at-
- JRJoe Rogan
Not good enough.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah, you don't think so?
- JRJoe Rogan
They'll come after you.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
You don't think so?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- 30:00 – 45:00
Yeah? …
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I, you know-
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
... I'd probably, yeah, I'd probably be even more charming.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MCMacaulay Culkin
(laughs) I'd do it just better. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs) Oh, of course you would, right?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah, exactly.
- JRJoe Rogan
Go back and do it now.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you imagine if you just, uh, have your brain in a little kid's body?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Uh, yeah. No, I, I, I, I would kill it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Just running shit in grade school.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
I would so kill it, like, in school. Like-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, psychological warfare.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Oh, yeah, you kidding me?
- JRJoe Rogan
They wouldn't know what's coming.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah. Uh-
- JRJoe Rogan
Those little fucks?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Yeah. I was, I was-
- JRJoe Rogan
You'd twist their little brains up in knots.
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Oh, exactly. No, it would, that would be great. I'm pretty sure that's what, uh, 30 Go- Going on 13 was, right? (laughs) And that going-
- JRJoe Rogan
What's that?
- MCMacaulay Culkin
Uh, that ... Isn't that a Jennifer Garner movie? You know, you know...

Well, you know, now you do. (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
Um, yeah, well, 30 Going on 13.
