Culkin, who’s best known for his turn as the [long suffering Kevin McCallister in the _Home Alone_ franchise](http://time.com/4111768/home-alone-25th-anniversary/), got a DIY pedicure from his [goddaughter Paris Jackson](http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/26/jackson-family-drama-is-a-dispute-over-michaels-will-causing-turmoil/) in what appears to be a makeshift home spa according to an Instagram posted by Jackson. In the image, we can see that Culkin opted for a cheery bright red color for his toes, perfect for holiday festivities. Jackson’s caption jokes that she “paints hipsters toenails for a living.” See the original Instagram below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4606751/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4606751/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure/"},"headline":"Here's Macaulay Culkin Getting a Pedicure From His Goddaughter Paris Jackson","datePublished":"2016-12-19T19:08:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:37.546Z","description":"He chose a deep red for his toes","url":"https://time.com/4606751/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd7f0bba8d855992d/6988b374ab6d775e0d6ac4db/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd7f0bba8d855992d/6988b374ab6d775e0d6ac4db/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Adult Swim At New York Comic Con 2014","caption":"Adult Swim At New York Comic Con 2014","creditText":"Astrid Stawiarz—WireImage for Turner Networks","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4606751/macaulay-culkin-paris-jackson-pedicure/","name":"Here's Macaulay Culkin Getting a Pedicure From His Goddaughter Paris Jackson"}}]}] ```
