Kieran Culkin Reveals Shocking Baby Deal He Made With Wife in Oscars Speech
Kieran Culkin has just won his first Oscar, but the little gold man is not enough for the Best Supporting Actor winner —he wants more kids with his wife, Jazz Charton. He said so on the largest awards stage in Hollywood at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony.
True to form, Culkin addressed his wife directly during his acceptance speech after receiving the trophy for his performance in A Real Pain from presenter and last year’s Oscar winner, Robert Downey Jr.
“I swear to God this happened. It was just over a year ago,” Culkin said. “She said, ‘I will give you four [kids] when you win an Oscar.'” Charton covered her face, laughing in response and nodding in agreement. The two, who have been married since 2013, share two children.
“I have not brought this up once until just now. You remember that, honey?” Culkin continued.
The actor, who had previously brought up having a third kid with his wife after winning the Emmy Award for his performance as Roman Roy in Succession, called back to his previous public statements on wanting more kids in addition to their two children.
“About a year ago, I was on the stage like this and very stupidly, publicly said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award, she would give me the kid,” he explained. “Turns out she said that because she didn’t think I would win.”
Charton laughed again from the audience, mouthing that she did in fact think that he would not win.
“Really I want four,” Culkin admitted. “I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again…And let’s get cracking on those kids. What do you say?” Sounds like we’ll be getting more Culkin babies very soon.
