What is Wrong With Macaulay Culkin?

'Home Alone' Star Looks Frighteningly Thin

Actor Macaulay Culkin was photographed earlier this week, and the pic sparked a huge debate. Why? Because he looks horrible, to say the least. Culkin appears extremely emaciated and totally scruffy - but it's the weight that's most concerning. Is he sick? Is he using drugs? Hopefully not, but one does have to wonder.

Macaulay Culkin is only 31 years old, but right now, he looks like he weighs less than he did as a child in the Home Alone movies. I'm not exaggerating. Promise.If you haven't seen the photo of Macaulay Culkin (taken in New York City on Wednesday), I'm warning you: It is shocking. Normally I chalk this stuff up to bad camera angles, but not this photo. There's just no way. Something is seriously wrong. He doesn't look healthy.

You can see the photo here, posted by Entertainment Tonight's official website, but it's all over the Internet now, with everyone speculating on what could be wrong with Culkin. Sure, he's had some rough times over the years (including a drug arrest in 2004), but this? This is just freakish.

A rep for Macaulay Culkin issued a statement, saying, "Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health. For Entertainment Tonight or any other media to speculate otherwise is thoughtless, irresponsible and destructive." I find it really, really tough to believe that Culkin is healthy, but I hope I'm wrong. Maybe he's prepping for a movie role, a la Christian Bale in The Machinist (or The Fighter)?

Something is going on with Macaulay Culkin, in my opinion, because normal healthy people don't look this way. They just don't. Whatever is going on, I hope everyone around him that cares is rallying. If he's having emotional problems, or whatever, he's going to need a good support system.
