So here's the elephant in the room. What exactly was his relationship with Michael Jackson? How healthy was their friendship, when Macaulay was just a boy? And do any of those criminal allegations that Jackson faced in his later years at all related to Macaulay? What we do know is that Macaulay often went to MJ's ranch for "sleepovers". But the rest? Macaulay denies everything, but is he telling the truth?
"He was very childlike. He liked doing the things we [kids] did," Culkin recalls about their relationship. Although the singer would have many young boys at his Neverland ranch, including Macaulay's brother Kieran, Macaulay said that it was all innocent games. "He played with us," Culkin said, adding that the singer's relationship, and wisdom on dealing with celebrity life, was "comforting."
