Thirty years after he became a household name as Kevin McCallister in "Home Alone," Macaulay Culkin's stardom has been cemented in Hollywood.
"The Righteous Gemstones" actor on Friday was honored with the 2,765th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as he was joined by his family and friends such as Catherine O'Hara – who played Culkin's mom in the beloved holiday film – and Natasha Lyonne.
Fiancée Brenda Song and the couple's two sons celebrated the achievement, too, with Song appearing to get emotional at one point. During the ceremony, O'Hara and Lyonne were among the guests who spoke about the 43-year-old's long career in Hollywood.
