The Home Alone fame star Macaulay Culkin has evidently been away from the public eye since his 90s appearances as a child actor. Macaulay featured in two instalments of the esteemed family franchise of Home Alone which went on to earn over $800 million cumulatively. Though the actor hasn't featured in any big Hollywood film since then, he has been vocal about wishing to act more. Now, Macaulay Culkin has revealed that he had auditioned for Tarantino directorial film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Macaulay Culkin revealed that he is very bad at giving auditions and it was his first audition in eight years. The actor has been vocal about not wanting to be in the mainstream as Home Alone's overexposure lead him to various issues like isolation and substance abuse.
