Don't ask Macaulay Culkin about Paris Jackson or you'll get this response

Macaulay Culkin is extremely protective of his goddaughter and friend, Paris Jackson.

On Monday, the 39-year-old gave an interview to Marc Maron on his podcast WTF, where he opened up about his allegedly abusive relationship with his father, his choice to retire from Hollywood, and, thought a very brief mention, his relationship with Michael Jackson’s daughter.

"I am close with Paris," the Home Alone star told Maron when asked about their closeness. "I'm going to warn you now, I am very protective of her so just look out. I am a very open book when it comes to things, but like with her, she is beloved by me."

Maron told Culkin that he wasn’t trying to look "for dirt" on the young model and actress.

"I know you're not," Culkin replied. "I'm just letting you know if we want to start going down that road it's going to be a dead-end, you know, but I mean that in the fact that I love her so much."

When asked how the 19-year-old is doing in general, Culkin said fondly, "She's tall, and beautiful, and smart. It's great."

In July, Culkin and Jackson made their bond permanent by getting matching tattoos.

At the time, Jackson shared a photo to Instagram a photo of their arms side-by-side, revealing spoons on both of their forearms.

While Jackson has admitted to having over 50 tattoos on her body, the spoon is believed to be the first for Culkin.
