"Home Alone" (1991) is a comedy film about a boy who is left home alone and fends off thieves who are targeting his house. Many people may remember the face of Macaulay Culkin, the genius child actor who played the lead role of Kevin. However, he later became addicted to alcohol and drugs at a young age, and took a break from appearing in films due to family troubles such as his parents' lawsuit. Now at the age of 44, he mainly appears as a guest on TV dramas.
Meanwhile, his younger brother, Kieran Culkin, has been steadily gaining in acting talent in recent years. He made his debut as a child actor in "Home Alone" with his older brother Macaulay, and was active in independent films in his youth. Recently, he has appeared in many productions as a talented actor who has been frequently nominated for the Golden Globe Award and the Emmy Award.
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in the movies and on TV. In this, our 202nd installment, we will be introducing the watches worn by Kieran Culkin.
Rolex
Datejust [Ref.126300]
In April 2023, Kieran Culkin appeared on the YouTube show "Hot Ones," where stars and celebrities are interviewed while eating extremely spicy chicken. While crying from the spiciness, he talked about the final season of the TV drama "Media King" (2018-2023), in which he starred as a main cast member, and his rivalry with his best friend Eric Serra, with whom he has co-starred many times in movies.
The watch he was wearing at the time was the Blue Roman model of the Rolex Datejust (Ref. 126300). While many young popular Hollywood actors tend to choose professional Rolex models such as the Daytona or Submariner, his choice of a simple Datejust shows his down-to-earth personality.
IWC
IWC Portuguese Automatic 40 [Ref.IW358402]
The Met Gala is a fashion art festival held every May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Kieran Culkin, who was invited to the Met Gala 2024 this year, visited the venue in a colorful jacket that evoked flowers, in keeping with the dress code of "Garden of Time."
The watch he chose to match this jacket is the IWC Portugieser Automatic 40 (Ref. IW358402) with a blue dial. After the Datejust, he chose another blue watch, which is probably his preference. The light blue dial and strap of this watch add a refreshing playfulness to his casual outfit with lots of colors.

The last one was the Emmy Awards ceremony, which is given to outstanding television programs. The show that showed overwhelming strength in the drama series category in 2023 was "The King of 1990" (2018-2023). Kieran Culkin, who won the award for Best Actor for this work, gave a speech that made the audience laugh, thanking his wife in the audience and asking for a third child.
The watch he was wearing at the time was an IWC Portuguese Automatic 40 (Ref. IW358310) with a green dial, which is thought to be a different color version of the model he wore at the Met Gala.
Kieran Culkin matched the chic green dial with a black tuxedo compared to the blue dial. I wondered if he had become an IWC ambassador, but that wasn't the case. It seems he just owned the watch in that color to suit the occasion. Maybe it's just his favorite!
summary

Kieran Culkin loves the classic practical models of Rolex and IWC. Although he was in the glamorous entertainment industry from a young age, he never lost sight of himself and continued to steadily build his career, which seems to reflect his personality.
Kieran Culkin's latest work is the road movie "Real Pain," about two cousins who reunite for the first time in several years and travel around their grandmother's hometown to remember her late grandmother.
This film won an award at the Sundance Film Festival, an indie film festival. Kieran Culkin's performance was also highly praised, and it is said to be a surefire candidate for this year's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
