'Home Alone' star Macaulay Culkin just turned 40 and we suddenly feel very old

Macaulay Culkin has just turned 40 years old and fans are shocked.

The Home Alone star marked his milestone birthday in a series of amusing tweets, where he confessed he was considering surfing as a way to get through his "midlife crisis".

In a series of tweets, he said: "Hey guys, wanna feel old? ... I'm 40 ... You're welcome ... Since I'm 40 I think it's about time to start my midlife crisis. I'm thinking of picking up surfing. Do you all have any suggestions? ... Do any of you have photoshop skill? Can you put my head on a surfer so I can get an idea of how cool I'd look? (sic)".

Macaulay previously confessed drugs are like "old friends".

He said: "I played with some fire, I guess is the best way to put it. At the same time, I’ve never been to rehab or anything like that. I’ve never had to clean out that way. There were certain times when I had to catch myself, once or twice. 'You’re having too good a time, Mack.' I mean, I’ve had friends who ask me, ‘How do I get clean?’ And I go, I’m the last person you should ask, because I’m gonna give you the worst advice, which is: Just stop. Just stop!

"And that’s not the way it works. But I never went so far down that road where I needed outside help. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I hadn’t had drugs in my life at some point or another. I had some illuminating experiences - but also it’s f****** stupid, too, you know? So besides the occasional muscle relaxer, no, I don’t do drugs recreationally. I still kinda drink like a fish. I drink and I smoke. But I don’t touch the things. I do love them. They’re like old friends. But sometimes you outgrow your friends."
