Mar. 15, 2025

Brenda Songhad a lot of lessons to teachMacaulay Culkin.

When Song, 36, appeared on the Thursday, March 13 episode ofThe Jennifer Hudson Showto promote her Netflix seriesRunning Point, the actress pointed out that she had to teach fiancé Culkin, 44, how to do laundry after they began dating — and that she tried to teach him how to drive.

“I always say Mac is a very unique human, being the most famous child actor in the world,” Song said, after she and Hudson, 43, discussed their shared love for Culkin’s hit 1990 movieHome Alone.

“It’s funny, teaching him how to do laundry, he still doesn’t know how to drive,” she added. “I took him out to drive in our neighborhood; I was terrified, let me tell you. This 44-year-old man driving for the first time? I gotta hire someone to do that.”

“When I was a child actor many, many moons ago, 30 years ago, I think it’s so different in this day and age when it comes to social media and things like that,” Song said at the time.

“For me, my boys can do whatever they want to do. I just want them to go to school and enjoy their anonymity while they can because they didn’t ask for me and [Macaulay] to be their parents. So I want them to be able to make that choice on their own.”
