Kieran Culkin has become the talk of the town after having an outstanding awards season thanks to his work in the HBO hit series, Succession. His work as Roman Roy has turned more than the heads of more than just his audience, with critics fawning over how good he was in the show’s fourth season. He won a Critics’ Choice Television Award, a Golden Globe Award, and is yet to receive the AACTA International Award, having been nominated for Best Actor in a Series.
While it is safe to say that this much success would lead to anyone feeling like they are on cloud nine, being more than happy about their lives. This, however, does not seem to be the case with Culkin. The actor revealed during a recent interview that this entire season has left him feeling quite bad about his personal life. Not because of himself, but because of the kind of father he has been to his children.
Kieran Culkin Found It Difficult to Be a Dad When Going to Award Shows
Kieran Culkin recently gave an interview with The Hollywood Reporter where he was promoting his upcoming film, A Real Pain. Here, he spoke about what it has been like for him to be going from one event to another with little to no breaks. The actor mentioned that this entire process has been extremely stressful for him, not because of the impact that it is having on him but the one that it is having on his children.
“The last couple of weeks, I hadn’t really been much of a parent, which makes me feel like sh*t.”
Culkin stated that having this busy schedule has led to him being much more neglectful when it comes to his two kids. This is very uncharacteristic for him. Not being there for them as much as he would like has been taking a very big toll on the actor. He also added that this makes him feel like he hasn’t been the parent that he should be.

Kieran Culkin is Going to Turn the World Off
Kieran Culkin then went on to talk about how he is going to deal with the conflict with his kids moving forward. He stated that his wife had already flown back to them and he would follow her very soon. The Succession star also added that he was looking forward to being with his children after so long and misses them so much that he will go off the grid for some time after reuniting with them.
“So I’m looking forward to, I’m gonna turn the world off for about a week and just be a dad.” He went on, “Nothing at all. I’m all diapars and bath time and stuff for like a week.”
He mentioned that he would not communicate with the rest of the world for a week and focus on his babies and being a father to them. He also added that he will not be working at all during this, not even giving time to check his emails.
