Macaulay Culkin is reliving the ’90s era in the most adorable and unforgettable way as he fanboys over Backstreet Boys.
One of the most iconic stars of the 1990s, former child actor Culkin, grew up in an era when boy bands ruled the music charts.
It is only fitting that when the “I Want It That Way” singers delivered a nostalgic and unforgettable show titledBackstreet Boys Live at Sphere Las Vegas, it wasn’t just longtime fans who enjoyed the show — Culkin and his girlfriend, Brenda Song, were also there, soaking in every moment of the concert.
In an Instagram post, the Home Alone star marked the moment by snapping a photo with the group.
All dressed in white, the 44-year-old actor beamed as he stood next to The Suite Life of Zack and Cody actress, who wore a Y2K outfit along with boy band members Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough.

In a lengthy caption, Culkin praised the Backstreet Boys for delivering an amazing performance, marveling at how effortlessly they still command the stage after all these years.
“Nothing is wasted; they use every part of the buffalo. Top-to-bottom, head-to-toe, floor-to-ceiling, soup-to-nuts, beginning-to-end, it’s incredible. They got it. They got it more than ever,” he wrote.
Moreover, he included a funny postscript, playfully blaming the group for making his girlfriend extremely emotional.
“P.S. Thanks @backstreetboys for making Brenda cry,” he said, adding, “I try every night and nothing seems to work.”
In the comments section, it seemed like fans could relate to Song’s reaction.
“Dude, we are all Brenda right now. SHE GETS IT,” one wrote.
Meanwhile, a commenter also noticed the actress’ post on social media as she shared her POV during the concert.
“Babes, I saw a TikTok of Brenda having the time of her life at the show!” a fan said.
Another user echoed the same sentiment and noted, “Came here from TikTok after seeing a fan video of Brenda enjoying the show so much and Mack was right there beside her, being the supportive husband who always shows up for her. It was too cute!”
Culkin and Song both rose to fame as child stars, but it wasn’t until they worked together on the film Changeland in 2017 that they met and began dating.
Now, the couple are proud parents to their two sons, Dakota who was born in 2021 and their youngest Carson, who will turn three in December.
